Meh, I gave my opinions on the tourney, no different than anyone else. I doubt all ISU fans feel exactly the same as you. If you have no interest in seeing my posts, there are tools available through this website that allow you to block my posts.

Based on the responses, more fans agree with me than you. Take a hint.

I love upsets and cinderellas. The more upsets the better.

Oregon doesn't look very rusty. Should be a good game

 

[ClonesTwenty1]

Oregon is fast fast

 

[HoopsTournament]

This a very high pace to start.

This is going to be a pretty good game. This one should have been scheduled prime time.

They always like to schedule a good game in the 11:00 time slot, but maybe they should have changed that since it is Monday.

Fun Iowa Hawkeye Tournament Fact:

Iowa has lost 10 of their last 11 Round of 32 games.

 

[HFCS]

I glanced at a scoreboard just now and thought the score was 0-12. Then I wondered why the 0 was green. Then I realized it was the Oregon O logo next to their 12 points.

Fun Iowa Hawkeye Tournament Fact #2:

Iowa is tied for the most losses in tournament games played in Indiana with 4. They are 1-4 in Indiana.

Being more of an NBA fan these situations in college basketball, even in a non-covid year, where teams have lots of days between games seem so odd to me.

The all-star break seems like eternity to me but it's the same length as a common average time between games for college hoops even in non-covid years. Almost every year I'll be surprised at some point on ISU's schedule that they have so much time between games.

Fun Iowa Hawkeye Tournament Fact #3:

Iowa is 0-2 vs. Pac 12 teams in the tournament. Both losses are to Arizona.

 

[HFCS]

I'm going to say whomever breaks out from 3 first wins Iowa/Oregon (if either team does).

Seems like neither team can stop the other so how many makes are 3s vs 2s can be big.

Not so fun Iowa Hawkeye Tournament Fact:

This is the second time that Iowa has been a #2 seed. The other time was in 1987. They advanced to the Elite Eight that year.

Crazy to only have played 2 games. I wonder how many we've had. We've had at least 2 against just UCLA I know from memory.

That team had lots of great athletes top to bottom (I was a huge fan as a kid). This team is two All Big Ten players and then a pretty huge drop after that in terms of matchup problems.

First to 1000 wins.

Oregon needs to realize McCaffrey is just going to race and try and cherry pick the other end because he is so bad on defense. That's all he is doing and it's working well.

I don’t get all the hate on Pat Mccafrey. I think he’ll be a solid player for iowa
