Will tOSU lose its 4th straight conference game tonight?

[Xerxes]

Do not agree. Only UM beating WI was better, but we got ours first.
NW beating IU is, quite frankly, just flat out baffling. Don't know what to think about that.

I guess maybe I'll be convinced later on when Ohio St plays good teams at home. Maybe they will prove to be a good offensive team at home. But since the 1st half buzzer at home against Iowa they've looked horrible on offense and even their D hasn't been enough.

Nebraska is not a good defensive team comparative to the rest of the B1G (10th in defense in conference play), neither is Minnesota (11th) and Ohio St did little against both.

Face it, Craft sucks.

No love for Craft from the buck's fans

OSU Basketball=

This is hilarious

I thought it was funny that some on here were saying Iowas guards would have a hard time containing Craft. I seriously wondered if they had ever actually watched him play.

Craft looks good only when his teammates look good. All of his teammates played pretty bad tonight. Lenzell Smith is shooting nothing but bricks, and seems to miss a lot of easy dunks or close shots. Their big man Amir Williams is lazy on defense. Ross seems to be their only reliable guy on offense, but he didn't play well tonight.

I think Nebby will win some more games @ home. Iowa only beat them by 10 @ CHA.

OK.....what do you think?

Iowa win @ Mich > Iowa win @ OSU? I happen to think so.

I'd even go as far to say: Iowa win at home vs MSU > Iowa win @ OSU + Iowa win @ Mich

 

[kctom]

Iowa win odds @ home vs MSU @ 63% and only 45% at Mich. Not sure what the win odds were @ tOSU but if the game is played this weekend it would > 50%, IMHO.

In terms of highest win % MSU, @ tOSU, then hardest @ Michigan.

Laffy, Creighton just **** pounded Villanova by 40. Does that prop up Iowa?

Why so sour?

Our loss to Nova will not be seen as a bad loss at any time during the season.

Our loss to ISU? Well, that is starting to look like a lemon.

Kane was injured sat night and was doubtful vs kansas and hoiberg considered sitting him for that game, so Kane is the key guy for a thin benched team like State and him playing at less than full speed vs Ks and ranked opponents does make a difference.

So Iowa up 3 w/ ball vs healthy Kane led State team at Hilton is not anything close to a lemon, rather, unlucky loss, or a 'good' loss on the road.

That's ignorant. Creighton beats any team on the planet if they make 21 - 3 pt shots. And Iowa doesn't need "propping up".

So you think they will let us put an asterisks next to the loss?

Well, dang it, ISU better stop losing for Iowa's sake.

I wouldn't expect the Illinois fan to know what it's like to not need propping up right now.

 

[ArvadaHawk]

I thought it looked like O$U has given up. They could wind up .500 in conference.

Really? An Illinois fan? That's amazing. The last place on the planet I'd expect to see an Illinois fan is on an Iowa basketball message board, when you consider where we are and where they are. Most Illini fans that I've had the misfortune of meeting, tend to hide when they can't crow about how good they are.
