He'll be fine, stop worrying about it.

He's our best player, it's fair to be concerned about when he's coming back.

But the whole reason I said anything in the first place is because you're saying other people have issues, but you're the person who doesn't care when an opposing player gets injured. I think that's a bigger issue

Quite a few 'experts' have San Francisco ahead of us in seeding...would be nice to see them get blown out against Gonzaga tonight. They're down 20 at the half...let's make it 30+

I'd have to watch the play again but watching live it looked like Davis was tripped and the ref called a foul late.

I thought he just stepped awkwardly before the shot/foul.

Just stating facts, Wisconsin has a .200 winning percentage against Iowa the last 3 years, but yeah, they totally own them.

I knew Wiscosnin was a fraud, they barely beat the 3 worst teams in the conference by 1 point each and it finally caught up to them in the worst Power 6 loss of any team this year.

I don't have any issues with Davis either, hes a solid player for them so hopefully he's not out for thr tourney.

Fraud? 2 Quad 1 wins in a major conference is a fraud

I watched the sequence again and it looks like he just stumbled but the ref thought he saw a trip and blew the whistle, but it was a late whistle.

The latest report I saw, said the injury happened not on the play he was fouled on.

Zags started cruising a little early. SF trying to make it single digits.

Dunno how the WCC is getting 3 teams into the tournament.

They are though. Easily.

Gonzaga is very beatable.

 

[Marcelason78]

Gonzaga is very beatable.

Ball handling here late is really suspect.

 

[dahliaclone]

Gonzaga has been to their conference tourney title game 25 straight years. It's strange to say but that's so boring.

 

[BryceC]

Why? They finished in the round of 32 last year(same as Iowa), returned alot of players, beat Iowa head to head, and have better wins than Iowa this year.

Because they went 6-4 in the noncon with losses to Layfayette, UMass, and Depaul?

What do those games have to do with league wins and losses and how teams finish in the standings? I'll hang up and listen.

That's why it's surprising they finished over Iowa, because they obviously aren't that good.

Oh that's right. You're the 'iowa is rolling and amazing' guy.

Iowa:

• 8 of their 12 league wins are against the bottom 5 teams in the Big 10
• They didn't beat any of the top four teams (0 wins over teams that got a double bye in their tourney)
• 2-6 in Q1 games
• 4-8 against likely NCAA tourney teams
• Lost head to head against Rutgers

Rutgers:

• Beat Purdue, Illinois, and Wisconsin...all leaders in the Big Ten standings. Iowa's record, again, against those teams is 0-5.
• 5-3 record against those tied or ahead of them in the standings. Iowa is 1-7
• 6-5 in Q1 games. Psst: That's three times more than Iowa.
• 8-5 against likely NCAA tourney teams
• Beat Iowa head to head

Your turn. Tell me in detail how they aren't that good. And if you think they aren't good, then what does that make Iowa?

They had the ridiculously high spread covered in the first 8 minutes and gave it back.

One big difference is Ron Harper Jr. wants to make the plays at the end of games.

Who cares, sometimes it takes teams a few weeks to get going. Memphis had some horrendous losses early also and now they look like a tourney team, same with Rutgers.

Pikiell is a solid coach also.
