Hok fans in 2013: Fire Kirk!
Hok fans in 2015: Stanford hasn't seen anything like Iowa football!
OK, yes - then just give their "best effort." They shouldn't need revenge anyway. And players being "from Iowa" or not has nothing to do with it.
That was the last real evidence of it but those weren't kids he brought here....I had some hope after the big 12 tourney run in '19 but that was short lived. They crumbled shortly after.
Last year Iowa won 84-68 and shot only 43% from the field. We shot 42% from the field in the loss.
I suspect we see 92-70 type of score tonight. I think we will be down by double digits by the 8 minute TO in the first half and it will 15-20 by halftime.
Would love to see things click but I think this is going to be another statement game for Iowa and Fran.

If we lose by more than 10, make Prohm walk home. This iowa team doesn’t play a lick of defense, has no home court advantage with no fans, and in general, we have better athletes. Put a hand in their shooters face and double Garza.
If I was a betting man, I’d be pounding that line as hard and dry as the pounding we’re going to take.
we havent won a single road game 2 of the last 3 years
If you double Garza, the refs may just call a double foul. Both on ISU. It's impossible to play defense against him with the way they call fouls.
Yeah, but didn't they shoot some ridiculous percentage in the first half? I don't remember a lot of misses, and everybody was shooting/hitting 3's.
I am not a fan of Fran, wouldn't want my kids to play for him.
However, I can respect the guy.
He managed to find a HM school to make him rich, and coach his kids at the same time.
He's found a strategy of red-shirting unathletic shooters, grabbing in-state players who are lifelong hawks, and developing the under the radar kid into a legit player (aaron white, luka garza).
His team can shoot, and they play hard, play together.
And what CW said in his podcast is so true...Iowa players HATE us, which is what a rivalry is all about.
Not going to be pretty for the soft-clones tonight!
