PrintIowa Hawkeyes at Purdue Boilermakers, Jan 17, 2012 7:00 PM CST
Our Most Hated Rival handed Iowa their first conference loss of the season, back on December 28, back when you wouldn't have been criticized for thinking that moral victories might have been the best Iowa could hope for out of their hugely challenging schedule to start Big Ten play. Three actual wins later, though, and things are looking much rosier.
So, fresh off their impressive win over Michigan, the Iowa hoopsters hit the road for West Lafayette tonight, in an attempt to even the season series with Our Most Hated Rival at one game apiece. Road wins have been relatively hard to come by in the B1G this year, but Iowa already has two, tying them with Purdue, Michigan State, and Wisconsin for most in the league so far. As Horace said yesterday, though, what really matters is which Iowa defense turns up for this game: if it's the good one, Iowa should have the chance to pull another road upset (they're 10.5 point underdogs to Purdue tonight); if it's not, this game could get ugly.
Iowa has a bye this weekend, so this is their last game for nine days; hopefully they can go into that break on a high note. The game's on BTN at 7pm CT.
Standard open thread rules apply: no illegal online streams, no porn, no religion, no politics, no slurs, no douchebaggery.

Never easy. Just enjoy the remaining time. That's about all you can do.
Hang onto the happy stuff, and let go of the rest.
It’s amazing the things cats can teach you about life if you just pay attention.
I feel ya man.
Our neighbors gave us a kitten shortly after My Cat passed (as you may be able to tell by the capital letters, I wasn’t ready for a new cat yet, but he grew on me- – my wife nicknamed him Kitty Martin-Manley, which helped I guess). That kitten is getting his balls cut off tomorrow.

Nice three there, McCabe
Those that complain that Inception was confusing have never seen Videodrome.
I really don't think the issue is totally on him
Fran’s had way too quick a hook with him this year and they almost never make an effort to give him the ball, even when he has good position inside.
Nope, but I like what Aaron White brings. Mainly any dribbling ability at all,
and the deep shot.

I believe McCabe is a firey motherfucker, and we've only scratched the surface thus far.
I believe he could be a really good player with some more experience, but I could also see him stabbing Jim Jackson in the eyeball with the teleprompter pen thingy (that Madden made famous) and decapitating an opposing player with a sword fashioned from one of the “bench” chair legs.

If Marble was the early season pleasant surprise, McCabe has to be the mid-season pleasant surprise.
If he can find a way to stay on the court a little more he could put together a very nice Big Ten season.

We seem to get players stepping up throughout the game right when we need them lately.
Seriously, Oglesby decides to rattle off 7 points when the rest of our offense is stagnant against Michigan. Cartwright had a couple nice buckets earlier when we need them. Marble has been on a bit of a roll.
This is feels eerily like a good basketball team.

Agreed
Different guys have stepped up at key moments – Oglesby, Cartwright, McCabe and RDM tonight, White at Wisconsin, to name but a few.
Really, it’s too bad they dropped the first game with these guys and, say, Campbell (I know, we were outplayed that night). Flip those two games, and they’d be sitting at 13-6.
Comedy is where the mind goes to tickle itself.
Damn I wish McCabe didn't pick up so many dumb fouls
Such a nice all around game. He’s been a totally different player since we moved him to PF full time.

They started booing way before Cartwright went to the bench and I would guess that they’re frustrated with the game in general
then they stopped booing, then they started again when he was at the iowa bench

Who is that person
in McCabe’s jersey tonight?
He has been playing very good lately.
Tonight he just happens to be getting the required playing time and scoring opportunities for it to show on the stat sheet.

I believe he scored our first 6 points against Michigan
and then came out of the game.
He definitely needs to figure out a way to cut down on the fouls. I think part of it may be that he doesn’t appear to be in the world’s greatest shape. Some better conditioning might be the answer to keeping him on the court more.

I think it's less about his shape, he put on like 15 pounds of muscle and that's really helping him
He is just overly aggressive, attempts to take a ton of charges, etc.
by clay-born to party on Jan 17, 2012 8:02 PM CST up reply actions
It seems like he gets tired quite a bit though too
and then starts to get reachy and grabby. I agree that if that’s the trade off for the extra muscle that he’s put and what that has meant, I’ll take it, but if he can get into better shape I think we’ll really have something.
Gatens is the prime example, I don’t think he’s ever tired.

Gatens has become a specimen
I think Basabe could have used a little more time in the weight room. I honestly think Basabe is out of shape and it is hurting his defensive game. His offensive game? I believe that is a result of his foot work which was discussed in another blog entry.

Yeah he's been goon all year
He just can’t stay out of foul trouble and is either on the bench or timidly
Goon isn't a terrible word for it.
I can’t remember the last time we had a basketball player put on some weight in the off-season and then really use it to his advantage once the season rolled around.

Our lack of rebounding is going to haunt us in a lot of games.

Especially when Basabe is in there.
He’s capable of getting a rebound if the ball bounces ten feet from the hoop and right to him and no one else is around, but that’s about it.

oh come on
He’s been the best rebounder on the team for two years, I doubt it’s because they’re constantly coming right at him
Not that he's without his flaws, especially this year

Yes?
He was good for pretty much the entire month of December. He’s been bad since, but some of that is because he had two games where they barely played him for whatever reason
I suppose I'm being overly negative
which I am usually not when it comes to Iowa players and coaches. I’ve been very disappointed with Basabe all year.

In a couple years maybe
So far whenever they’ve played Gabe he’s looked completely lost. I hope they redshirt him next year.
I saw some decent flashes earlier this year.
He just hasn’t gotten the playing time.
He’s not great, but he can rebound, run, and defend. Just don’t let the ball get anywhere near him on the other end, much like Archie.

I have to admit that it was really cool to see Denard Robinson in the Michigan student section the other day.

Too bad he had to leave the game when he got injured in the second half though
I didn't invent the black turtleneck, but I was the first to recognize its potential as a tactical garment.

That's funny.

He was really very decent in December.

Meh.
I wouldn’t mind Fran lighting a fire and maybe sitting him to start against Nebraska next week. Maybe give Aaron White a look, or go with the 2 guard combo that worked well for a few minutes tonight (Cartwright/Marble). But whatever it is, he needs to find it.
And I know Purdue is a good team and its tough to win on the road
so I’m not just Negative Nancy for tonight. I’m just saying, Basabe has been clearly mentally absent the last few ballgames, wins and losses alike. I hope he’s frustrated.
I agree.
I was referring to an earlier segment of this thread where I was being (overly) critical of Melsahn only to be informed that he played well against Boise State, or something like that.

OT
Why does my BHGP homepage think I care (as an Iowa fan) about ND?
(I took a screen shot of it but apparently I’m not quite cool enough to figure out how to post it.)

Because someone in your house went to a ND site?
You might want to lock that down.

Highly doubtful
The only other adult is a Marquette grad (ie, does not care about college fb AT ALL).
It’s weird- the ad is for HawkeyeInsider but references Irish basketball & their QB Rees. It thinks these are the things ‘Iowa fans’ are talking about. Ha!

Have not read one post but:
I really like the way things are going. We had 10 bad minutes at the start of the the second half, which was as bad as it gets. Other than that, McCarble continue to show they are players of the future. Both are getting better with each game, and were bascially the team until Gatens got something going late. This is a completely different team than we are used to seeing. When at least one other person gets into mid double digits we win, and we have a couple more who are capable. And no one is settling for great efforts, which is raising the effort.
No moral victories. But plenty of really good signs.

I highly recommend the Justified season premiere.
And, I really hope Raylan buries that bastard, Jason Mraz.

The strangest part about this part is that it went completely unlisted at IMDb.
Poor Desmond Harrington. Secondary character on Dexter and can’t even manage a billing on Justified.

Yeah.
I had trouble figuring out who he was (in real life or for his character’s name).
Methinks we all may need to get a weekly fan-post going for discussion of this show. We can add some Archer comments into the mix as well.
Are “The League” and “Sunny” done for the season, or on some type of break? I realize that FX shows tend to have shorter seasons than the big networks.

Anyone besides me NOTICED....
WHY OH WHY ARE we using so many &*^%#%% SPIN MOVES?
They don’t work, they cause turnovers, etc..
It’s like the whole team said, “You know what, if were gonna lose, LET”S SPIN AROUND!!"
Dumb, and worthless unless you’re Chris Paul….
Also...
RUN DMC looks a ton better than Cart at point.
