WE'RE TALKING BASKETBALL: FAIL TO THE VICTORS

It's Iowa-Michigan, once a perennial must-see game, is now a battle for ninth in the conference standings. Contrary to Brent Petway's assertions, Michigan is not one of the most underrated teams in basketball. They are, in fact, quite mediocre, mired at 10-10 (3-5), with three consecutive losses entering today. And Iowa...well, we know how Iowa has been.
3:30 tipoff, Big Ten Network. You know the rules. Enjoy the cripple fight.

MY FIRST LIVEBLOGGAMETHREAD!!!
In the past 10 years, just four team owners have not paid a luxury tax and are not on pace to pay one this year: Donald Sterling, Jerry Reinsdorf, Chris Cohen (Golden State), Bob Johnson (Charlotte).
Two owners’ teams averaged an operating income of over +$10 million per year while their teams have lost over 60% of their games: Donald Sterling and Jerry Reinsdorf.
Welcome to the terrordome.

In that game
Hightower can stand on one side of the screen and make a phantom foul call against a player not actually in the game. His opponent’s intenstines then fall out and start on fire. It was a difficult combination of up up down down right left down/left ababababbbbaaaa up up right right start to get that to work though.

I still like Lickliter
but I just can’t take too much more. We’ve got an infinitely better guy as a coach than the last dbag. But how long will this take? We have tradition. And it’s not just bullshit: I grew up with B.J. Armstrong and Roy Marble. Now what do we have?
What was the final score?
I was too busy watching the all-star footyball game.
"I want to be a cowboy. I don't want to be a panda. Pandas are boring, stupid and boring. Bad panda!"
I hate to say "I told you so" (no I don't), but...
At the same time, it would be foolish to assume this arc of improvement—however high/far it stretches—is linear. Iowa could still totally crap the bed this weekend in Ann Arbor. They’re still a young team who’ll be on the road in the BXI. These things will (probably) still happen.
The challenge, then, is to not let one bad game (whenever in the upcoming schedule it happens) invalidate the strides Iowa’s made to this point. That goes for fans as well as the team; as much as you or I may notice how much better Iowa is compared to even a month ago, the coaches and players are undoubtedly acutely aware of it. Whether they can keep their focus on such an ethereal goal as “improvement” in the face of something discouraging like a 25-point loss will be crucial; let’s at least do our parts and not over-the-fuck-react if/when it happens at some point.
