Beating ISU

[MeatMan]

If Iowa finishes 21-10 (10-8 in the Big Ten they are a lock) and maybe even the dreaded 8-9 seed.

If Iowa finishes even 8-10 in the Big Ten they still will probably dance.

no chance at dancing with a losing B10 record. i'd put Iowa's NCAA chances at 5%

Do you care to elaborate on that "lulz"? I think 21 wins to be an 8-9 seed seems to be a stretch but depends on who they beat and who they lose to the rest of the season but ISU only won 23 games before the tournament and the B1G is better this year as a whole than the B12 was last year.

So either you feel that 21 isn't good enough to make the dance or be a 8-9 seed, or you don't think Iowa can et to 21 wins.

So which is it?

Or are you just to be another ISU fan trolling on here to add nothing to conversation but post "lulz" and to be here in case someone makes fun of ISU?

In my opinion, Iowa is not a NCAA bound team this year. NIT at best. Next year could be a different story though.

Thought you may be able to gather that already.

Thank you, and I agree with you actually. As an Iowa fan it saddens me that I feel that way but a lot of fans don't get that Iowa is currently starting three true freshmen, who have all struggled against more experienced or better talented teams. They are young, maybe they will progressively get better as the season goes on but I think next season will be alot better.

Plus you can't win if you can't hit threes in the B1G, not going to happen.

NIT was a stretch and they barely made it last season, they were one of the last teams in if I remember correctly. I don't see Iowa winning more games this year but I hope I am wrong.

I think so many fans are down because the flop in football so they are putting extra expectations on the b-ball team. I don't know maybe they aren't but this is a young inexperienced team either way.

That's not really his question. He posed some scenarios.

I answered the one that was most relevant..

Go back to Cf ******.

It's ok, he at least responded with a real response other than "lulz", I don't mind if ISU fans are here if they are going to add to the conversation, no matter how stupid or immature some of the posters are on this site at times.

hey, when the trashman turns into Hakeem by midseason we might have a chance to go undefeated in conference.

Who is the the trashman? And will he be changing his nickname from "Trashman" to "The Dream" if above said transformation happens?

[MeatMan]

Gabe's nickname is Trashman. Herby gave it to him.

Oh geez, nevermind. Herby kills me!

i hit the reply with quote function can't mess that up.
go away or STFU

You are right that you cant mess that up, but you somehow did. Dy-no-mite herbster.

[HawkeyeMHA]

We need to beat them because things are seriously getting bad for the Iowa/isu scale here in the state. So tired of losing to them. Must be stopped now. Power must be restored.

[Bigtenchamp]

I'm confuzed on why we need to "cancel out" one of our two losses.

Losing on a neutral court to Wichita State and on the road to Virginia Tech, who are both undefeated, is not going to be the reason Iowa's bubble bursts. If it bursts at all.

I guess my point is - with how hard our conference schedule is going to be we can't afford to lose much more or any in the non-con.

Otherwise we are going to have to pull off somehting much harder in conference play.

Many people had ISU pegged as a loss not VT .
