Post by: ThePAMan on February 25, 2025, 02:16:32 PM
8pm Central. Know it is on Fox 4k channel on my YouTubeTV. Guessing FX1 game.

Fuck Iowa. But 10 point is a lot they way this has been going.

Might be best to rinse that Duke scum out of our mouths ASAP.

Hopefully the players feel the opposite way

I'm not sure these announcers did much homework for this game

Started strong. looks way more energetic and looks as if we "know" we will win vs a subpar team. Let's see it's early.

Antigua doing some coaching in the huddle. Tyler standing around with his hands in his pockets looking up at the rafters.

Getting outrebounded 20-17. 3-14 from 3, 13-21 from 2. 2nd chance points, 2.
Only 3 turnovers and 10-2 points off turnovers.

I like that we have 9 assists on 16 made FG. Tighten up on the defense, stay away from another 14 3 attempts. We DON'T need them tonight. Drive, drive, drive the ball, ball screen/pick and rolls and dive to hoop. 46% doing that so far.

Keep Tyler out of the huddle, it's working so far.

This game HAS to be a building block for the rest of the year.

18 point lead is nowhere near safe for us.

A couple more minutes and I think you can take the cup off.

It's nice to see the strength to play 2 halves of basketball again.

Closest thing you can get to a “buy” game in late february.

If the Illini had hit just 3 more 3s they would have won by 29.

Feels good to have one that's not close. Iowa somehow sucks more than the bookies thought.

Dix had that one brief spurt at the mid point of the second half.

It would seem that Freeman out affects them as much as when Ivisic was out for us.

Dix did finish strong a couple times. We had a hard time handling the penetration.

I think we could need one more win in regular season or BTT.

Lose three straight and we are 18-14 and it could get complicated.

All winnable games.

With the lower expectations will be hoping for better results...and no 30-0 runs against.

One more would help, agreed, however I think we are firmly in as no lower than an 8 but we don't want that seeding. As long as we play the last 2 in good fashion, we will be good. We do have I think 6 Quad 1 wins so that is on the upper tier nationally. We good!

Would love to get healthy, steal one from scUM or Purdue and get something going in BTT, maybe sneak up to a 6 in TOTTM. Ceiling is greatly reduced without Morez but I think we could beat an 11 and give a 3 some headaches.

My god, is Iowa terrible. I guess when you recruit guys like Brock Harding and they actually get significant minutes, you get what you get.

The announcers were actually saying he was similar to Jason Williams White Chocolate, we obviously missed on that one.

We already have a more athletic undersized guard that can't get minutes.

Cudda used Harding for spot minutes last year.
