OPEN THREAD: IOWA BEGINS THEIR MARCH ON SAN ANTONIO

...but in my mind, we're already up 65-3.  Also, The Virus has 45 points.

Woooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!  GO HAWKS!!!!

All hell is breaking loose. Again.

Iowa can't stop giving the ball away. This might be over by the half.

Not the start we wanted, to be sure.

Fuck.  Shut up Dolph.

Tony Freeman dribbles the ball so long, Cy Tate falls asleep in the paint and is called for a 3 second violation.

But we will lead at the half. I can feel it.

Listen to the game at KSCJ.com.

Gotta be the first mezmerization by TF's dribbling, ever.

Always good to hear Dolph say things like, "After being down 13, the Hawkeyes are within 11."

I sort of like listening to these games when Iowa's getting blown out. I enjoy hearing Gary Dolphin give up on the inside.

Michigan's fifth three of the game, and they're on pace for 15.

Meanwhile, Iowa has somehow just committed back-to-back charges. I'm not sure I've ever seen that before.

an angel dies.

They're trying to "out turnover" the Hawkeyes?
Bitch, please.

thinks Tate will make this free throw.

Is playing like it's the second half. He's throwing around some D too. This is good to see (in the final game of his career)!

"Wolverines up by 10, at the moment..."

as if Iowa can score 11 points and take the lead in a moment's time.

packed house = empty seats

Tate has hit 3 straight free throws, which for him is like Cal Murphy hitting 50 in a row.

Iowa is making their comeback by having Cyrus the Virus at the free throw line. This is hilarious.

Justin Johnson drives to the hoop?!?!?!

Tony Freeman might foul out with 5 charges.

get The Virus outta there!

Remember him????

Good to see Iowa not even trying on the defensive glass. It has cost them, what, 7 points?

34-25 Michigan at the break.

way to block out, kid...

Iowa down 34-25 at the half

was stiffer than a wedding prick. It was like a sequel to Mannequin.

.375/1 is outstanding work. Cocksuckers.

OPS is making a comeback on Pat Harty, he's now down just 22-18.

dmbmeg continues to dominate (RAWRRRRRRR!!!) J Leman, 46-28.

If you haven't voted, do so now.

Hearing him struggle with the word "telltale" is a sublime pleasure.

So wooden she makes Erin Andrews look like Robin Williams.

Michigan has already scored five points and forced an Iowa timeout. Attaboy, Hawks.

I miss Brody Boyd.

The jump hook is devastating. It can't be stopped.

Gorney with the floater? Nice.

JJ just got a steal!

I actually partied with him in December.

Do you remember him having the qualities of a used bag of douche?

Seth actually blocked out that time and the fucker went right over his back.

it is the only thing that makes the pain go away

Probably doing coke off of some hooker.

or watching the game.

Or both.

are fucking atrocious. Just atrocious.

Ball tipped off of Gorney, TO #11 for Iowa. Michigan leads 44-29. I want to start drinking right now.

it will all be over soon enough.

You know how when you're down by 13 with two minutes to go and scrap the offense and start jacking shots up and you actually do better? Do that now while you're not completely out of contention.

Freeman and Peterson are like Jon Beutjer and Zack Mills

HawkeyeSports only lists weight, no height.

Is he an amorphous shape changer?

we will be laughing with the guys BB team all the way to the final four [of the ladies NIT].

Let's go 8 minutes without hitting a field goal.

It's like neither team wants to win.

because Iowa is already in the 1&1 bonus with 9 minutes and change to go. Dolph has apparently never watched the Hawkeyes shoot free throws.

Tate got fucking hammered there and they missed the call. Good thing they whistled the second one.

Or, for that matter, herpes?

There hasn't been a single field goal in the last 7 minutes, for either team.

I'm going to set my brain on fire.

This is ridiculous. Tate shoots free throws as well as, like, me.

And the Iowa offense is apparently all about making half their free throws

I may be coming to IC for the game in fall.

I'll remember to stay away from Jebus.

My goal is to track down the Gornstar and get a picture with him.

Ladies and gentlemen, it's Bohall Time.

Cyrus Tate, shooting free throws.

... and thus began... the greatest comeback that Conseco Fieldhouse had ever seen.  The pullout bleachers were fully extended, as was effort of the Iowa Hawkeyes...

This aint Juilliard, mother fucker, just blow the whistle and get out of the goddamn way.

Vicki Lawrence pick in ...3 ...2 ...

"This is about as homely a second half as I can remember." -Dolph

Iowa, down big late, commits a shot clock violation. Unreal.

Down by 12, 3:30 left, and we let the shot clock expire.
That's it.
Goodbye 2007 Hawkeye athletic season. Go.

From 44-29 to 44-36.

Trouble is, it took over 9 minutes, so nobody noticed.

Don't prolong this. It's 51-41, but it might as well be 500-0.

Cause I doubt you've gotten your fill of shitty basketball yet.

Iowa has converted a field goal!

53-43, late late late. Then Jake Kelly fouls the best free thrower Michigan's got. This shit's over.

Pretty tough to put on pants when you're paralyzed from the chin down.
