Iowa vs. Minnesota Basketball LIVEGAMEOPENTHREAD

Minnesota Golden Gophers at Iowa Hawkeyes, Feb 1, 2012 7:30 PM CST


I said in the Indiana gamethread that you never quite know what you're going to get with Iowa basketball this year and the Indiana game brought forth yet another new specimen: they paired an unfathomably bad defense with a stunningly good offense. If you've ever wondered how a team could shoot 80% from the field for an entire half and still lose by 20, well, now you know.

It's time get back on the horse tonight, as Iowa heads home to lick their wounds and take on a Minnesota team that's gotten inexplicably hot, winning four of their last five games and looking kinda good -- despite still being without their lynchpin, Trevor Mbakwe. Iowa barely hung on to beat Minnesota up north a few weeks ago, but this game represents a rare chance to sweep the Gophers in hoops. It's also a game Iowa needs to win if they want to keep their head above water and avoid plunging into the sub-.500 territory that's been their unwelcome home for the last several years. So please, guys: play a little defense, make some shots, and get a win. That would be real swell.

The game is on BTN at 7:30pm CT. The standard rules of open threading are in effect: no links to illegal online streams, no porn, no religion, no porn, no slurs, no douchebaggery.

This is weird. There are actually students in here.

Is it the the free tickets or the Franimal bobbleheads?

Neither of those...

I’m sure it’s the black and gold wigs they are handing out.

I'd take one of those

especially if I were still a student. But I’m sensing sarcasm

Did anyone watch the first half of the Michigan/Indiana game?

I turned it on with ~30 seconds left in the first half and the total team fouls were 2 and 3.

Michigan started fouling deliberately to disrupt Indiana’s end-of-half play calling, so it ended 2 to 6. But was it just an absurdly clean half, or were the refs being tools?

I didn't invent the black turtleneck, but I was the first to recognize its potential as a tactical garment.

by KilometersDavis on Feb 1, 2012 7:28 PM CST reply actions  

Is the tip pushed back to let this game finish?

Or can somebody give updates until Michigan-Indiana is over?

And I'm just tired of hearing about his Kentucky auto-piolot winning (not from you, per se).

People, including UK fans, have ragged on the guy for years. Billie Gillespie couldn’t win “on name alone” but Tubby did pretty well. He also won a bunch of other places. The guy is good. Let’s not forget that Minnesota’s only era of major success in the last quarter century came because Slick Haskins was breaking every possible rule. Minny isn’t a basketball hotbed.

Weight loss

I lost 35 pounds in a couple months by limiting myself to a doctor’s diet of 1200 calories a day. You’ll be fine under 2000 if you exercise and avoid liquids besides water. Eat a lot more green vegetables and avoid sugar and carbs. At least one salad a day.

I drink probably an excessive amount of Diet Mt. Dew.

Even though it is no calories. It’s probably not helping towards weight loss either eh?

by KirksGumInHaydensStas on Feb 1, 2012 8:17 PM CST up reply actions  

yeah thats probably not good

ive lost a lot of weight in the past 2 years, basically just did it by eating less and exercising a lot, im sure getting some kind of approved plan to stick to would be better though.

i think the exercise part is more important, or at least easier to maintain. when you first start exercising when youre out of shape its torture but it become fun for me once i got in decent shape. dieting remains miserable regardless, its tough to sustain.

making a weight loss bet with a friend helped me a lot too.

I probably drink around 100 ounces of Diet Dew a day.

2-3 12 oz in the evening.

That number…makes me feel shame now that I think about it.

Not totally true, it has a lot more fake sugars, that the body has trouble breaking

down because they are chemicals. Cutting out pop is most certainly for the best if at all possible, because you will retain a lot of water as well.

by clay-born to party on Feb 1, 2012 8:32 PM CST up reply actions  

I can't say you will add those calories, but it can be key in causing diabetes.

I haven’t drank pop in 5 years and I don’t miss it. It’s just unhealthy in general and I guess it depends on if you want to lose weight to look better, or just be living a generally more healthy life.

by clay-born to party on Feb 1, 2012 8:39 PM CST up reply actions  

It's my understanding

that it’s not so much hidden calories, as “no good comes from eating more chemicals”. I’ve heard they can interfere with metabolizing fat, but that may be more urban legend than anything. There’s certainly nothing inherently good in them.
So says the guy who probably averages one diet cola a day.

by Brock Sampson on Feb 1, 2012 8:50 PM CST up reply actions  

I always feel much more filled up from water.

I think another factor may be when your body takes in sugar, whether it’s from diet pop or regular, it makes your body want more sugar. That’s why when starting to eat clean and healthy, it can take 2 weeks to a month to ditch the cravings. When your body craves more sugar, you will want to satisfy that craving.

by KirksGumInHaydensStas on Feb 1, 2012 8:55 PM CST up reply actions  

The conclusion was that people felt that because they were drinking "diet"

that they weren’t getting their calories from pop so they felt they could eat more. As in the thought process behind getting a supersized big mac meal w/ a large diet. Also, I believe they would triggers in the brain that linked fake sugar to cravings of high sodium or something like that (it’s not sodium but I can’t remember what it is) foods.

It's all about your size & activity level

There was a six second differential. Assuming you get a stop, by the time you get the rebound controlled and to the outlet man, you have 3 or 4 seconds to score or you lose.

We can debate numbers of seconds, but my point is that Fran clearly agrees with the “rely on a stop and give yourself one short possession to tie or win” instead of “lengthen the game and hope you can trade 2 for 1 or 3 for 2 a few times”.

I had to take my sister's car to work today so I had to listen to the radio instead of my XM.

It was horrible. I kept screaming at the radio SHUT THE FUCK UP!! Why do you talk all the time. Play music!

I rarely have passengers in my car.

I took three people with me to the Bulls game the other night and the girl in the passenger seat kept making fake breaking motions with a grimace on her face.

Truth.

When I was younger and more adventurous I used to be the designated-Chicago-driver whenever I went to the city with friends.

I'm told we get ESPN Radio here in Chicago.

I can just never time it right so that I tune in for the one minute an hour that it isn’t at commercial.

The local radio dj's sing during songs here.

I would not be okay w/ that.

I like the 80’s on 8 channel on XM, however, they have the stupidest bumps ever. Alan Hunter was the original VJ. Every time they say that I say “Who gives a shit? That was 30 years ago.”

Clear Channel times it that way.

That way at least one of their advertisers are heard.

No.

But they blew my eardrums (band) and broke my fingers (mosh pit).
Still listen to them on the iPod. Houdini.

I bought a shirt from the show, on the front it had a two-headed dog and “melvins”, on the back a two-headed cat and “pussy”. Wish i still had it, but gave it to a girl who now lives in Brazil.

Would Monson have been coach for Minny, still?

After research, Jim Molinari was interim coach for that Big Ten Season.

Sorry, got called away.

Gary was interviewing Dev and it seemed like Roy just sautered up (it may have been planned, but it seemed awkward) and then Gary interviewed Roy.
Dev was all “Hey Dad.” and Roy was all “I’m proud of you, Son.”
It was sweet, but also seemed a little weird or whatever (but I don’t want to put my own word to it).

Yeah, a little awkward

RD seems to badly want out of his dad’s shadow. Dolph opens the interview with, “You looked just like your dad out there at the end.” Then Roy walks up and joins the conversation after a minute or two. It wasn’t a bad interview. Just a little awkward.
