Why is everyone watching Iowa??

 

[ISUTex]

Anal Roberts finally scored!!!!

 

[jsb]

We might not have needed to fear Oral Roberts.

Why is everyone watching Iowa??

Cuz I'm cheering for Auburn.

 

[06_CY]

I need a redo on the ol bracket.

 

[RezClone]

Can Iowa win a game without making threes?

As long as they are playing a team that doesn't run any offense, it's possible.

Auburn's offense would make Steve Prohm blush. At least he had us set a high ball screen before we just stood around.

 

[Cyclonepride]

Auburn is so terrible on offense. Iowa threw up a zone and they all just stood around outside it and then jacked one up. No idea how Iowa is behind

 

[CyCrazy]

Why is everyone watching Iowa??

To watch them lose? What do I win?

I think Arkansas can beat Kansas if they actually play a solid forty minutes. They could have heat Illinois by thirty if they hadn't gone to sleep for minutes at a time.

Small crowd in Birmingham. Advantage Iowa. The Hawks are used to playing at Carver with small, quiet crowds.

 

[ZuriCyclone]

Auburn missing bunnies and making the hard shots, blow these squawks out

If memory serves, Princeton almost was first 16 to knock off a 1 (1989, lost 50-49 to Georgetown). In 1996, Purdue barely escaped Western Carolina, I think a few other tight ones over the years before UMBC did it.

Side note: Princeton was first to win as a 16 seed in women's tournament -- can't recall the season without research, but it also was vs. Pac team - Stanford.

Harvard was the team in wbb and yes it was against Stanford but before tourney Stanford's star player got injured and didn't play. Another star player for Stanford was also hurt.

Harvard also had the nation's leading scorer.

If iowa can manage to hit just 2 three's in a row, they will literally seize all of the momentum.

 

[ZuriCyclone]

Refs continuing to bail out the hawks, big 10 homers referees

 

[shadow]

Did the auburn guy just dribble it off the ref?

 

[ZuriCyclone]

lets go Auburn

 

[Kaner04]

What a weird circumstance

 

[stormchaser2014]

Why the **** did I pick Oral??

 

[Raiders70]

Why is everyone watching Iowa??

Have a bet on Auburn.

I thought all of the Alabama fans were going to stay and cheer for Iowa? God, I heard that enough this week.
