You're up 33 and still chucking up 3s classy

At the under 8 timeout, and they are sitting and have been for a couple minutes each,  Garza and Wieskamp 52 - Nebraska 48

 

And I think our chances are better than 50/50 that we outscore them!

God I would hope so

Hawkeyes are heading for the Century Mark.  I had a blowout but not this big.  Be tough to get prepared mentally, as a fan, for Maryland.

Please give Arop all of Kavas' minutes.  Let the kid learn on the fly and develop.

Remind me again why Akol Arop NEVER plays...?

Me: “Thank God Iowa is clearing the bench.  Game is almost over.”

 

Also Me:  “My God we still have over 5 minutes to go.”

If the players don't like being beating by 30+ and getting embarassed they have to stop the other team. If we aren't up to playing Big Ten basketball that's not Iowa's fault.

BTN figured out that this could be a blow out they found the parents of Iowa's 13th man to show when he got in.

Sorry Scott, it's called sportsmanship.  Something lost on today's youth.

Plus, this could be personally motivated toward Hoiberg.

I know sportsmanship, but asking bench players who don't get significant minutes to go into 4 corners and not take their opportunity to play their best is just begging for mercy instead of outplaying scrubs.

When Billy Tubbs use to blow people out @ OU he’d say, “That’s not my problem, get better”....

To be sort of fair to Iowa, they did clear their bench and pulled all of their starters out with just under 10 minutes.  I'm not sure you can tell the kids that hardly ever play to not play hard or make smart basketball plays.  I have no issues with them shooting 3's and playing hard.  Like Scott said, it's our job to stop them.  Oh, and to remember this and to return the favor at some point in the future!!!

I hate Iowa, but Franny didn’t do anything wrong in this one.  He put scrubs in with 8 to go.  I mean.  Come on Fred and Co., you gotta play hard and outplay their scrubs.

[khoock]

Yep. Cant ask kids who rarely get to play to not play hard. I will say the same thing in the next couple years when we are waxing other teams regularly.

Iowa's Franny isn't known for class in the arena. Now, maybe outside of the arena he's all class, but he sure isn't in the arena. Oh well. If anyone truly thought NU was going to win, they simply had blind optimism.

Man that was ughhhhly.  Pretty much from the opening tip this game was over.

[tcp]

i feel for you guys. I forgot we had a game today and instead I spent it alligator watching at the national seashore here in MS. 

 

looks like the predators had a winning day all over.
