Aight. Iowa looks like they will lose.


So its on us to win this whole thing, other wise.... a Mid Major will take home the hardware, which would be embarrassing.

Our luck is that richmond beats UAB

Louisiana Cajuns down the Iowa Hawkeyes 80-71 in game 1 of Caymen Islands Classic.


ULL shot 5-21 from 3 and still controlled the whole game. Led by at least 9 the entire way.

25 Assists to Iowa's 10.

Iowa should just fly home early

At this point we are just picking up wins. We are not picking up top 50 wins. I am not sure it matters who we beat at this point. It's at best a small rpi jump either way. If you can't pick up a top 50 it's not going to be a big deal. As we learned with Houston last year...even a top 55 team is not going to weigh heavily on our seed. The arbitrary cutoff is top 50 and that is that.

I won't deny being a little nervous about this game against Buffalo.

IF we play bad, they can beat us.

Need to come out firing. Should be an up and down game. Just hope we can stay out of foul trouble

We'll be focused. We have way better players. I expect a statement that this tournament is ours.

Hey Jacob, what's the word on the streaming of the tourney??

I read collegesportslive.com would be the best option to pay 9.95 for the month and then cancel. Is that what you're using? How is the quality of the feed?

Thanks!

If anything, Iowa losing will definitely grab our players attention. Not saying they needed it but you know what I'm saying.

At this point, we just need to win. Who we are going against in this tournament really doesn't matter. Iowa wasn't going to be a top 50 win come March anyway.

if you are nervous about buffalo, i would hate to see you against an actual team.

Iowa is a perfect example if why good defense is so important. Some times the rim has a lid on it. And you combat that with great defense.

Had they play better defense in the first half and held them to 27 instead of 37, they could have won this game. They dropped 56 in the 2nd half but against played little to no defense.

I fully expect UC ti grind it out of our shors aren’t falling this season . And I see zero issue with it

That's what I did. You can watch it from your TV if you have a Roku. Or a table or phone. I will say the quality was definitely not hd for the Iowa game.

I thought they would be to be honest. They are a team adjusting with out Peter jok. They will figure it out soon. Could still be middle of the pack in the big 10.

 

[cincyguy13]

with Iowa losing, this tournament will not help us at all when it comes to seeding. Maybe it wouldn't have even if we played Iowa but at least there was a chance. A pointless trip now

We may blow the doors off buffalo.

But they do drive the ball well and play physical. Kyle will have his hands full with Perkins.

I think we destroy them in our own gym. But this is a weird gym, and we have a big target on our backs.

I mean UC has looked absolutely great. But our SOS is 9th worst in the entire country. So I’m more nervous about the unknown. How do we react in an empty gym, against a physical team and against an opponent who thinks this is their super bowl.

I think Iowa stays top 100 regardless

Is it worth it? Nothing worse than trying to stream something with a terrible connection on the back end or with a grainy video quality.

If it's not good quality I may just listen on the radio and save the frustration.

Watching the free version from my computer at work, the stream was 'okay' at best. It was definitely not HD and was kind of back and forth between good and bad. If you are desperate to watch, its worth it. If you aren't going to die without it, I'd def skip the stream.

 

[jacobkdoyle]

The video on College Sports Live isn't great. Really might feel like we're watching our players' high school mixtapes lol. They don't even have the score up the whole time and it's often way too zoomed in and you can't even see the hoop. Still worth it though imo.

 

[justinhub2003]

These rims might not be very forgiving.

iowa shot 37%
Wyoming shooting 37%
SDSU Shooting 32%

Teams are shooting a combined 23-85 from 3 for 29%


Though SDSU has gotten back into this game by hitting some big 3's
