We're Talkin' Hoops: Iowa vs. Penn State LIVEGAMEOPENTHREAD

Penn St. Nittany Lions at Iowa Hawkeyes, Feb 4, 2012 2:00 PM CST


Sure, we all have football on the brain at the moment after the surprising news re: Ken O'Keefe heading to Miami, but we can spare a few hours to think about the basketball team, right? Right. Iowa looks to build on their thrilling comeback win over Minnesota on Wednesday with a second-straight win today as they entertain B1G cellar dweller, Penn State. PSU is just 2-8 in the league but they're still not a team Iowa should take lightly. Past experience (coughcough Campbell coughcough Nebraska) should have taught us that Iowa isn't in a position to be taking any team lightly and, frankly, Penn State is probably a little better than that 2-8 record. Tim Frazier is an excellent player (he leads PSU in points, rebounds, assists, and steals) and their two league wins came over Purdue and Illinois, so they're certainly capable of beating good teams.

Of course, both of those wins came in the friendly confines of State College; Penn State is winless on the road in the league this year (in fact, they have just one true road win all season -- over Boston College in the Big Ten-ACC Challenge) and all five road defeats have been by double digits. If Iowa can play more like they did at the beginning and ending of the Minnesota game -- and less like they did in the godawful middle of that game -- this is a game they should win. Iowa's also honoring the 1986-1987 Elite Eight team at this game and wearing those sweet gold throwback jerseys we talked about a few weeks ago. So there's quite a bit going on in this game.

The game is on ESPNU at 2pm CT.

The usual rules of open threading apply: no links to illegal online streams, no porn, no religion, no politics, no slurs, and no douchebaggery. Go Hawks.

Honor Tom Davis’s team by interviewing the guy he was pushed out for? Yeah, real classy. (Granted, if the truth be told this was George Raveling’s team if it was anyone’s.)

I tuned in right at the end, so I'm not sure what reason they gave for having the interview

It may have been perfectly pleasant, for all I know.

Umm...both.

It’s a river town w/ a hog processing plant. It is a shithole. Fairfield and Ottumwa were rivals when I was in school. Maybe not as much as Fairfield/Mt. Pleasant b/c we are able the same size. Outtmwa now plays w/ the big boys in DSM.

I knew one kid

whose mother lived in Ottumwa.

He, his dad, and his sister stood out at our school, and not in a good way. And this is in Waterloo.

So I completely buy into the “Ottumwa is a hell hole” viewpoint. And I’ve never even been there.

in 3:43, I’m probably done for the year with Iowa basketball.

I just don’t think it’s fair that you won’t let a team that is truly rebuilding w/ a second year coach have as much slack as a team w/ an eleven year head coach. Enough said.

Yes

and frankly PSU’s coach is doing the right thing. He’s got a bad team but they were “only” down 11 w/1:06 left. While unlikely, those kinds of comebacks have happened.

Yep.

It is Iowa’s fault for letting it get that close. And PSU needs to scratch out wins whenever possible.
