WE'RE TALKIN' BASKETBALL: In Which The Best-Case Scenario Is Agony

Iowa Hawkeyes at Wisconsin Badgers, Mar 3, 2010 7:30 PM CST


It's been a long time since Iowa won in Wisconsin. Oh, it's been close many times. In fact, there's usually a pretty set script in place for Iowa, and they never exceed this performance. It is the best case scenario.

First half: Iowa is ice cold from the field on account of "debatable" officiating. Wisconsin is also cold, however, and despite foul trouble for Iowa's best player and a total inability to get an "uncontested" shot (see: get a fucking call for once), Iowa hangs tough.

Halftime: The announcer says something like "And despite being 7 for 24 from the field, Iowa still in this thing, 23-20, Wisconsin leads, we'll be back after this." You think that if Iowa's shooting performance normalizes, they have a chance, and start to get just a little bit anxious. This is a bad idea.

Second half: Wisconsin maintains its lead between 3 and 6 points; on the rare occasion Iowa gets within one or two points, the Badgers score immediately. Their large white post players switch to brass knuckles and toothbrush shivs; they also remain safely out of foul trouble.  Alando Tucker's mom shows up on camera, even though he's not even there anymore.

Endgame: As Iowa continues struggling at all facets of offense, the game's within 6 points with under three minutes to play. Then Wisconsin hits everything in sight, Iowa's best efforts are in vain, and the final score's like 65-56 Badgers. And you have just wasted two hours of your time in a state of tense nervousness, knowing full well Iowa cannot possibly win this game.

And that's the best case scenario: the torture of the close Wisconsin road game. The worst case, of course, is Iowa gets the living Christ beaten out of them. That's more likely.

Game thread's right here, you all know how to play nice by now, don't do anything that'll get us sued, and let's just get through this thing together. Err, I mean, GO IOWA?

for Purdue/Indiana game. That’s too bad, I would have had nostalgia about when Iowa was somewhat competitive and he would personally come through for Wisconsin in the closing minutes.

Doesn't this all apply to everyone who has to play in that stupid crummy arena?

With the exception of Duke, ’cause that was a decent game.

This is also Iowa's first-ever 20-loss season.

WOO! MAKIN’ HISTORY!

i told my parents in October we were a 10 win team

I hate being right. First 20 loss season, but is this the fewest wins in program history? Thank god for wrestling this weekend.

How can Barta watch this and bring Lickliter back? I know he will, but this compilation of a team isn’t remotely competitive. We have to go through another year, possibly 2, of sucking ass, and THEN change coaches? Fucking fuck. They’ll have a game with 1,000 people at CHA next year, and the only complaint will be from the people who were actually suckered into attending.

Is there a Bill Snyder of college basketball who's not shady?

I’m in Dallas and heard Billy on the radio with the local guys a week or 2 ago. Sounds like he’s sober. He is a mother-fucking Texan. That worked out well for Iowa once.

Sounds sober?

Close enough for me. Speaking of, what about Eustachy?

Sold...get him up here.

At least he’d be fun.

Billy G...

Cyclone Fanatic (I think) had a rumor about McDermott being shown the door and them bringing in Gillespie to replace him.

You need someone who can really recruit IMO

67-40

A real squeaker.

We scored fewer than the football team did against Indiana

You scored more than Daryll Clark scored against Iowa.

Wait. No. Damnit.

I think there's a typo on the box score

It says Iowa only scored 16 points in the first half.

We missed a 20 pointer at the buzzer.

For some reason...

working late in the office had particular appeal tonight. This way I can come home, skim through the angst on BHGP while having a Scotch, and be merely depressed as opposed to worked up and depressed. Or maybe not…

FORTY POINTS???
IN MAJOR COLLEGE BASKETBALL?
WITH A SHOT CLOCK??
SIXTEEN POINTS IN THE FIRST TWENTY MINUTES??

To all of you who wasted two hours this evening, I am deeply sorry for you and even more impressed by your strong and healthy, or overcompensating, sense of farce. One can only take so much. There, my brief outrage at the sorry state of our basketball program, not to mention awe at the karmic power of shunning the Gadsden Purchase, has receded. Time for another Scotch.

Yeah, I know, its pro ball

But I just watched the Suns score 39 in the THIRD QUARTER.

by Mr. Grizz on Mar 3, 2010 11:38 PM CST via mobile reply actions  

Just a question.

Is any of the Alumni sending in complaints about Lil Lick. After watching him this entire season(which by the way, requires me to take an extra shot when I see him walk onto the court), there is no reason he even deserves to be in D1 basketball. Can we go out and recruit Hockeybear?

What's the point of complaining about a freshman walkon?

Also, imagine how much worse it would be if he weren’t there. Cully Payne would have to play 40+ a game, every game, since Nick Neari is fictional. Cully Payne is a true freshman who’s still recovering from a broken back.

FILE - In this Oct. 17, 2009, file photo, Maryland head coach Ralph Friedgen yells on the sidelines against Virginia during the first half of an NCAA college football game in College Park, Md. Friedgen's job status appeared shaky after the Terrapins lost a school-record 10 games this season. But after meeting for two consecutive days with athletic director Debbie Yow, Friedgen was given the go-ahead to make plans for a 10th season as coach at his alma mater.
