WE'RE TALKIN' BASKETBALL: IOWA VS. CHICAGO STATE

Welcome, friends, to the first hoopyball open thread of the year. Technically, Iowa tipped off its season last Sunday with a 20-point over Northwest Missouri State, but that was just exhibition ballin', NOW IT COUNTS (TM and (C) Bud Selig). Our glorious opponent at 7pm CT is... Chicago State? What? That's just ridiculous, Chicago's not a stat--HOLY SHIT, DID I GO TO SLEEP LAST NIGHT AND WAKE UP IN A GODFORSAKEN POST-APOCALYPTIC LANDSCAPE WHERE TRADITIONAL BORDERS AND ASSOCIATIONS HAVE DISSOLVED AND ALL THAT'S LEFT IS RAGTAG BAND OF FEUDING CITY-STATES AND THIS IS NOT ACTUALLY A BASKETBALL GAME, BUT A LIFE-OR-DEATH FIGHT FOR SURVIVAL AGAINST A BAND OF LEATHER-CLAD THUGS AND RAIDERS HELLBENT ON STRIPPING IOWA CITY OF ITS PRECIOUS RESOURCES?! BECAUSE, GODDAMN, THAT WOULD SUCK.
Wait, no, it turns out Chicago State is just a weirdly named college basketball team that is really, really, really bad. How bad? Like 345th in the country bad, per KenPom. (That's out of, um, 345 teams.) For comparison's sake, Iowa played SIU-Edwardsville (342nd best team in the land last year, per KenPom!) last year... and beat them 111-50. Mind you, that was last year's Iowa team doing that level of ass-beating, too. We think this year's team is better. Which doesn't mean that Iowa is going to win this year by, like, 140-12 or something, just that this could (and probably should) be very ugly. For fans of Chicago State (the mighty Cougars!) or competitive basketball games, anyway. For fans of Iowa basketball (like us!), it could be quite fun.
Despite being played on Mediacom Court, the game is not actually available on Mediacom. Nor is it on DirecTV or Dish Network or any television provider. The only video footage comes courtesy these here interwebs at video.btn.com. The good news is, in terms of internet streams, the quality is really quite good. The bad news is that it's not free. If you'd like to let your imagination do the work, you just can tune your ears to the Hawkeye Radio Network and listen to the game. I am a subscriber to the Big Ten Digital Network, so I'll try to provide some updates. Incidentally, if you do want to watch a basketball game this evening but don't want to pony up for BTDN and watch Iowa, Michigan State is playing North Carolina on ESPN on an aircraft carrier, which is like the bossest thing ever.
The usual rules of open threading apply: no illegal online streams, no porn, no religion, no politics, no slurs (this includes calling people or things "gay"), no being an ass. Oh, and feel free to use this tread as your de facto Hamsterdam thread for the evening once the game is over.

We are going to thrash Chicago State.
This is our year. Hello NCAA Tourney (even if it’s one and done).
Unless we don’t thrash Chicago State. In which case, this is still a rebuilding year. Hello, Big Ten Tourney (even if it’s one and done).

yeah they are bad
the exhibition team we played beat a division 1 team earlier today, and that division 1 team had to be ranked higher than chicago state, so chicago state is probably worse than the exhibition team we played.

Some "experts" are calling Iowa St their sleeper team for the year.
Are they actually good this year?
There's a whole bunch of transfer talent
but we have yet to see if it pans out.
Executive Producer - WRNL TV
KenPom thinks they're going to be worse than us.
"I want to be a cowboy. I don't want to be a panda. Pandas are boring, stupid and boring. Bad panda!"
This is one instance where I think it's an excellent idea to schedule such weak opponents.
This isn’t a team that’s already tourney-ready and is padding its stats. Rather, this is a team with a lot of raw talent and not a ton of experience playing together. With a slate that allows them to come along at their own pace I think you could see them playing a cohesive style of basketball by the time the B1G schedule starts. They won’t challenge for the league, but if they were able to shock MSU and OMHR last year, I’d expect bigger and better things this season.

Very nice to see.
Gatens never really got into the game and Cartwright wasn’t very sharp.
Basabe and May looked better in the 2nd half at least.
Nice to see other guys step up when the starters are struggling, though.

27/32 from FTs
Very, very nice to see.
30/72 (42%) FG and 9/27 (33%) 3s…
Not so nice to see.
Still, that’s the difference between beating them by 43 and beating them by 60.

Apparently Carlos is fond of necks so fat that regular people can’t stand them.

That game was hilarious
I have never seen a worse team than Chicago State, and that includes all the exhibitions against random D-II teams. We had ten points before they even had an attempt.
Aaron White was unstoppable, which was pretty funny. I think our best lineup might be with him starting at center, at least offensively. Might get kinda ugly on defense, since he’s not very athletic and Basabe has absolutely no interest in even trying on that end.
Oh also, B-Stubbs: 2 shots, 2 makes, 5 points. The man does not miss. Play him.
There was some really sloppy defense by Iowa.
It didn’t matter because Chicago State was LOLful, but still.
I saw someone describe White as “awkwardly athletic,” which I think fits. He’s not a stiff, but he definitely doesn’t move fluidly.
Basabe and Cartwright looked like they didn’t give a fuck about that game.
"I want to be a cowboy. I don't want to be a panda. Pandas are boring, stupid and boring. Bad panda!"
Basabe played better in the 2nd half
At least offensively. He never tries on defense and it drives me nuts. He lets his guy get baseline over and over and is always slow to rotate.
Cartwright definitely did not give a fuck though. He was trying all sorts of wacky shit in the first half and kept turning it over. He also would have had one of the ugliest missed dunks I’ve seen in awhile were it not for Greg Stokes’ kid getting blocked by the rim at the buzzer.
Those two missed dunks were bad.
There was some pretty unimpressive finishing around the basket, actually. Between those misses and the terrible 3-pt shooting, they left a lot of points out there. They could have easily had 110-115 or so.
"I want to be a cowboy. I don't want to be a panda. Pandas are boring, stupid and boring. Bad panda!"
Yeah they missed a ton of wide open threes
Gatens had an ugly night, and Oglesby was juuuuuuust off on almost every attempt. He was on line but they almost all rimmed out on him. He’s got the world’s slowest release too, which could be an issue against real teams.
And yet, Basabe is our best big man
since, probably, Reggie Evans (okay, maybe Brunner and Cy Tate were good, too).
If Basabe has to give up 10 or 12 to get 22, I’ll live. We need the offense a bit more than the defense right now.
We will become more intensity!!! --What Reading Rambler thinks Tom Brands should do.
by WaterlooChazz on Nov 12, 2011 12:42 AM CST up reply actions
Brunner was definitely better
At least in his last two years. We’ll see if Basabe can reach that level.
The problem with him last year was that he frequently gave up almost as much as he gave us on the offensive end. It’s why he didn’t make Team USA this summer. He needs to improve a ton on that end and it doesn’t seem like he did over the summer. He’s still a solid player, but it’s a glaring flaw in his game that frequently ignored.
I've had ex-girlfriends describe me as "awkwardly athletic".
