That Teddy 3 off the rebound is basically a TO.  Took quick of a shot.

It's like punting on 3rd down.

One thing Shamiel can do is dunk. That’s for sure.

Not even touching a guy is a foul, while the other team can grab and hold.

If Sham would have shot that from the corner I would have thrown my laptop.

He needs to be careful.  That ref wanted to pull the trigger on a T.

When I watch this team play, I have constant flashbacks to that Bill Callahan press conference years ago about the Raiders being the dumbest team in America. Nebraska just cannot consistently play fundamentally sound basketball. Some decent players, but it’s just a bad team.

Schadenfreude update: Iowa also down 14 at the under-8.

He'd join an elite club if they would have.  Cope, Shavon, who am I forgetting?

Stevenson waited so long to shoot that three that his legs were fresh.

Fran McCaffery with the T as his team falls behind by 18.

I'm here for you, brother. Literally here, in Iowa City. It's a painful existence.

[Bugeaters1]

THE COCK lowers his shoulder and the foul is on Stevenson. who would have guessed.

I travel to CR often for work.  I always know I'm on the right flight from Dallas because I'm a red blimp in a sea of yellow.

Cockburn has been so abused we're just going to forgive him for dipping his shoulder.

I do agree with this.  You can't let one guy bully and the other one not let play physical.

Teddy a non-factor tonight.

 

Wrist injury?

It seems to me that bulk gets away with a lot in the Big Ten. Subtle moves by really strong players can create so much space that it becomes really difficult to respond. And if Kelly Pfieffer is on the whistle, it's tough to respond without getting rung up.

I have been corrected many times. That yellow is really "gold." Yeah. OK.

[hskr4life]

Boxing out has been optional tonight.

[atskooc]

Yahoo has Banton listed with six fouls, so there’s that. 

[atskooc]

It’s a route.

I always thought that Iowa chose their school colors right after the first toilet was introduced in the state.  Someone looked inside and thought, hey, that combination works.
