Around SBN: Indy 500: 'Greatest Spectacle In Racing' Set For Sunday

Iowa vs. Indiana Basketball LIVEGAMEOPENTHREAD

Iowa Hawkeyes at Indiana Hoosiers, Jan 29, 2012 5:00 PM CST


Iowa's first in-conference taste of Nebrasketball proved to be rather bitter on Thursday night, but there's nothing to do now but try to wash out that taste with another win. Enter: Indiana? On the bright side, Iowa's won four in a row over Indiana, easily its best active winning streak in B1G play. On the not so bright side, this year's Indiana team is considerably better than the Indiana teams from the past two seasons. Oh bother. Still, this Iowa team has been hard to pin down in conference play, so who knows what we'll see in this game. We might get the team that dominated Michigan from start to finish. We might get the team that played one half of decent basketball against Purdue. And we might get the the team that got blitzed by Michigan State. Unpredictability, thy name is Iowa basketball.

The game is on BTN at 5pm CT.

We're a short team

I really hate this team right now

They could be pretty decent if they just did little shit like box out or rotate. It’s almost more annoying to watch than when we just straight up sucked.

by NorseHawk on Jan 29, 2012 5:54 PM CST reply actions  

Yep.

Despite many here thinking we are so very un-athletic, I feel like we have the talent to be a mid-tier Big Ten team. And instead, we drop home games to Nebby and get blasted on the road by 30 against decent-to-good teams.

I’m not saying Fran should be fired, but I feel like he (and plenty of players) have under-performed over the last week or ten days.

Ok, so let's see:

Bryce has had 1,000 turnovers.
2 rebounds.
And we can’t play defense for shit.

Alrighty then.

Bryce has been fucking terrible this year

Just a million dumb passes and turnovers. I was fine with getting May out of the starting lineup, but I don’t know that he’s a huge upgrade at this point

by NorseHawk on Jan 29, 2012 5:58 PM CST up reply actions  

He gets us down the court the fastest

Which is what Fran wants. But his decisionmaking has just been awful this year.

Take it up with Fran

I’m not putting the guy on the floor. I just understand why he wants him out there.

by mikjones24 on Jan 29, 2012 6:08 PM CST up reply actions  

The premise

might work, if we could defend or rebound. We can’t.

It seems like there were plenty of times when Dean Oliver or Jeff Horner would jog (not so much walk) the ball up the court.

I’m not sure if Andre Woolridge always ran, or if he could just break ankles whenever he wanted.

I usually advocate for running and gunning, but I’d use more guys with more passing. Don’t rely on a turnover-machine.

Another fundamental problem:
