another beat down. This time at home by Rutgers. Is their season collapsing now due to Psycho Fran's embarrassing temper tantrums?

I don't know but I do know that if I was a Husker basketball fan I would like Coack Pike (Rutgers coach) as the new HC at NU...dude gets his kids to play hard.
UCF is having a nice season, including beating Houston today. Maybe we can go after their coach.
And also, Ohio State got curb stomped by Purdue. I thought the BiG TeN officials were supposed to make sure that Ohio State would win. They are on the bubble and they need to make sure that they make the dance.
Iowa isn't anywhere close to as good as their record. Bunch of lucky bullshit last second shots including a banked in 3 from the corner to beat Rutgers the first time.
Yeah...they probably have 3 wins that could have very easily been losses.
Rutgers should be 2-0 vs them, no doubt about that.
Who knows, maybe go ask the geeks over on the Iowa board.
meh, wouldn't waste my time on an iowa board. just thought i would ask the legion of hawkeye fans that reside on this board.
Ohio state suspended their best player, indefinitely. Kaleb Wesson.
You will get a chance to see how good Iowa is in person when they visit PBA in the near future.
Your question isn't worth a reasonable response.
The truth resides somewhere between other teams figuring out how to defend Iowa's inside/outside attack & disrupting their 2-3 zone defensively.
They look inside first, teams play one on one with that big man & play the percentages of two points vs. three.
The kick out isn't there because teams are glued to Bohannon, Weiskamp, Moss. Garza Cook, Baer are all in a bit of a slump compared to when they were on two substantial winning streaks.
Teams have figured out how to penetrate the zone at the foul line, then distribute for an uncontested three. A few players (OSU's Ahrens & Rutgers' guy - name escapes me) put up a career day even when half of their shots were constested well. Luck turned in that case.
They were a last second shot away from beating Maryland, so law of averages says they are a legit 21 win team (are what your record says you are).
I know there is vitriol there (obviously) and it's ok to pile on. The reality is they will still make the Tournament while another team will be a 3 seed in the NIT (that goes out to H8er, who thought a good dis would be stating that Iowa would join UNL in the NIT).
You’ll just bring them over worse with every loss you post and give them more ammunition when they beat Nebraska on Sunday..
Gong to be tough going to the Big Dance with a 5 game losing streak. You guys will be lucky to get in!
They havent made the tourney since 2016 right? Not sure they make it every year. The last time they made it in they got beat by 20+ in a play in game. Not sure if that even counts.
No they beat Temple in 2016 and lost to National Champion Villanova in the next round..
That was '14.
'15 they were 7 seed & beat 10 seed Davidson 83-52, then lost to 2 seed Gonzaga, which made Elite 8 that year.
'16 they were a 7 seed & beat 10 seed Temple 72-70, then lost to 2 seed Villanova, who went on to win National Championship.
Ok, I was wrong then. Havent been there since 2016. My point kinda is....Very few would be able to even recall that because they just never move the needle. They had a pretty good record at one time. (Many close "lucky" wins at one point) but now like most years just go away and no one knows anything about them outside of Iowa and some of the B1G.
They suck...but they suck less than the team I like.
Correct. Connor is a D1 baseball talent, but a D2 bball talent. They lack a PG that can penetrate & distribute as well as play above avg defense. Many believe that help is on the way with 4* NYC PG Joe Toussaint.
It's whatever makes you feel better about it, but many don't remember dozens & dozens of like teams tournament years. Heck many couldn't tell you the winners of nat'l champion teams. The way basketball is in college. I will say it is better to watch more wins than not and be a part of the tournament seeding process, than to spend all winter dreaming of spring practice. That, you can't deny or are lying if you say otherwise.
No doubt the Hawkeyes make it to the Big Dance, how far they go I don’t know. I’m really excited about baseball they just whipped Okie St this weekend, Hawks are loaded.
Loaded? You beat a 19th Ranked team in the Cowboys. NU beat #3 TTU over the weekend and I know the Huskers are not loaded. Give it up!
We’ll see how loaded they are when the conference starts..
Nobody in the B1G is loaded in Baseball...
From Iowa fan perspective, being average to slightly above average in any sport is being “loaded” and “relevant”. The Iowa message board fan base is the gift that keeps on giving. You won’t have to wait long for another lame post by one of the Iowa regulars over here......We’ll see how loaded they are when the conference starts..

By now you have to realize he's being facetious everytime with that. Don't bite so hard.
If beating Iowa were as important to Nebraska as beating Nebraska is to Iowa, evidenced by split lip KF after beating 4-7 Nebraska on last second FG, Nebraska would not have fired the Nebraska version of Fran in Bo P. Bo P would’ve continued whipping the hawks at a .750 winning clip.
We know 2015-2018 is the best thing to ever happen to hawk fan. Honestly though, hawk fans were just as bad before that stretch, they just have some short term stats and facts to back their BS these days.

Don't deviate from all the prior posts you don't respond to concerning Iowa basketball. Not interested in shoulda woulda coulda. Got awfully quiet in here when presented with meaningful analysis of college basketball, which is the current topic. If you want to start a different flame thread, have at it with others, but I won't participate if that's what you're trying to accomplish.
Iowa basketball has had a better season than Nebraska basketball......Fran reps Iowa well, he’s the perfect example of how I view the Iowa message board fan base.
We’ll see how Iowa fares at PBA. Nebraska b-ball players are mentally weak, but they still manage to occasionally play well. Maybe they can out Iowa, Iowa and get some lucky breaks.
Charlie Marlowe asked some perspective. Although trying to flame as well, an honest answer was delivered. I know its not was some of you want, but I think some do appreciate the discussion. Too bad it gets derailed by both sides in a hurry nearly every time.

It got quiet because no one gives a shit.
