WE'RE TALKIN' BASKETBALL: What in the Hell Are We Doing on ESPN

PrintIowa Hawkeyes at Northwestern Wildcats, Feb 25, 2010 6:00 PM CST
The Iowa basketball season has finally resumed after a curious 9-day delay (we blame the unwashed savages in Columbus), and for some reason it's on ESPN. Yes, the game between 9-18 (3-11) Iowa and 17-10 (6-9) Northwestern--losers of three of their last four, including horrific losses to Iowa and PSU--is being put front and center for Thursday night basketball. On ESPN. We're... surprised.
KenPom.com gives jNWU easy odds on winning, putting the probability at 86% and predicting 69-59. RealTimeRPI is a little more favorable to the Hawkeyes, granting them a 26.1% chance of winning, but predicting 73-60 jNWU. So yes, it would probably be an upset if Iowa were to win tonight.
It would also be very, very funny.
Here's the thread for the game. You all know the rules by now, so let's get together and laugh at John Shurna and his Flowbee haircut and his Girl Shot.

sluggish start
I think the 8 day layoff is showing.
Doesnt help that Shurna is hitting everything
Out of the timeout...
ESPN misses the start of action so they can show some old guy making out with the court, Iowa gives up another layup, and Lickliter calls a timeout. Iowa basketball!

jNWU is now 11-11 from inside the arc.
Kill me. Woof.

It's not even that much a fluke either
I mean, it is, because that is unsustainable craziness, but they’re getting mostly wide open layups.
Andrew Brommer comes into the game, immediately commits an offensive foul.

"I want to be a cowboy. I don't want to be a panda. Pandas are boring, stupid and boring. Bad panda!"
Three things to make you sick about this game
the score of course
the jNU crowd that we would kill for
Shurna…that we can’t have a player like that.
"I’m sick of following my dreams. I’m just going to ask them where they’re going and hook up with them later." M.H.
I recant all previous support of keeping Lickliter past this year.
If we’re pining for crowds and players from jNWU, all hope is lost.
"I want to be a cowboy. I don't want to be a panda. Pandas are boring, stupid and boring. Bad panda!"
Is it true that we have assumed the mantle of
worst crowd? Even worse than PSU?
"I’m sick of following my dreams. I’m just going to ask them where they’re going and hook up with them later." M.H.
If jNU looks this raucus then
who could be worse than us? Other than PSU?
"I’m sick of following my dreams. I’m just going to ask them where they’re going and hook up with them later." M.H.
Well, it's also fucking tiny.
If we crammed the people who show up at CHA into the Field House and shot like fucking 80% in a half, I think even Iowa fans would go bananas.
"I want to be a cowboy. I don't want to be a panda. Pandas are boring, stupid and boring. Bad panda!"
Carver has actually gotten pretty loud a few times this year
The team just hasn’t given us a reason to do it consistently
Tough to cheer for the pass the ball around for 33 seconds and jack up an ill-advised three-pointer?
I’M SHOCKED!
"I want to be a cowboy. I don't want to be a panda. Pandas are boring, stupid and boring. Bad panda!"
Although, bounce for bounce we are the shit
NO ONE dribbles more than Cully Payne and John Lickliter. No one.
"I’m sick of following my dreams. I’m just going to ask them where they’re going and hook up with them later." M.H.
Big second if there.
"I’m sick of following my dreams. I’m just going to ask them where they’re going and hook up with them later." M.H.
We shot remarkably well against jNWU at Carver a few weeks ago.
I guess this is payback.
"I want to be a cowboy. I don't want to be a panda. Pandas are boring, stupid and boring. Bad panda!"
true
"I’m sick of following my dreams. I’m just going to ask them where they’re going and hook up with them later." M.H.
I have not watched many PSU games, soo...
"I want to be a cowboy. I don't want to be a panda. Pandas are boring, stupid and boring. Bad panda!"
Let's assume they are worse.
We’re 10th. I thought that would never happen in my lifetime. I couldn’t get tickets my freshman year. Couldn’t fucking get them!
"I’m sick of following my dreams. I’m just going to ask them where they’re going and hook up with them later." M.H.
Well, no matter how you slice it....
Our b-ball crowds at CHA have to rank in the bottom three of the B10 and that is certainly embarrassing.

OK, you know what I'm sick of hearing?
That Todd Lickliter is a victim of circumstance. Jeff Peterson, Tony Freeman, David Palmer: These guys didn’t leave because they didn’t like Iowa City. They left because they didn’t like him. He forced all three out (and rumor has always been that Jake Kelly wasn’t just homesick, for that matter). This is revisionist bullshit that has to stop.
