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.

Dolph was just interviewing [REDACTED] on the radio for some reason.
I didn’t listen to any of it, but I still have an uncontrollable urge to go wash my hair.
I didn't invent the black turtleneck, but I was the first to recognize its potential as a tactical garment.
That doesn't even make sense.
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.
But yeah, I thought it was odd.

Someone on twitter said it was b/c he played for IU in 86-7.
Still irrelevant unless they interview someone from each B1G team that season.
Maybe they interviewed Assface to see what it was like to follow a class act like Dr. Tom
and royally fuck it up?
"HOW'S IT HANGIN, SLAPNUTS!"
Alford played against the '86-'87 team
That was the theme of the interview.

I love the Dr. Tom love. BTW – how are you following along on twitter?
Several of the beat reporters are discussing it on their feeds
Sounds like Dr. Tom broke down when he was introduced with the 86-87 team (they introduced him last).
Comedy is where the mind goes to tickle itself.
Who?
IowaHoops, HawkeyeNetwork, VoiceoftheHawks, bvak a few other people.
How? I have tweet deck open in it’s own window.
John Bohnenkamp, Rick Brown, I think Tom Kakert's there
Brendan Stiles goes to most of the games too. You’d usually have Mike Hlas there, but I think he’s at the Super Bowl in Indy.

I really wish Iowa would go back to gold/yellow home uniforms
so much better than the white
I ate the blue ones ... they taste like burning.
They seem to bust them out every so often, usually for "big" games.
I’d rather they wore them all the time, too.

In my opinion,
we should let the man rest in peace by not mentioning him for about 3 months. We had the memorials/funerals. Now just let it rest, TV fuckers.

Yeah, considering this was more or less a laugher
there were a number of really poor calls against the Hawks. Bad charge on McCabe and the dude that fell on top of Gatens earning him the “push” was a farce.

Those jerseys are definitely a bit too loose
I didn't invent the black turtleneck, but I was the first to recognize its potential as a tactical garment.
Those pants are definitely two hand-widths too long.
I’m pretty alright with that, though.
Those that complain that Inception was confusing have never seen Videodrome.
Good win guys
Not as good in the 2nd half as the 1st – too many open looks, sloppy at times, really should’ve been a blow-out – but a good win nonetheless.
Already 2 more wins than a year ago.
Comedy is where the mind goes to tickle itself.
TOO EARLY!
THEY COULD STILL SCORE 11 POINTS IN ONE MINUTE! YOUVE JINX’D US, NOOOOOOOOOOO

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.

I wouldn't be able to listen to the commentary if I was a PSU fan
Regardless of how bad they are, the commentary was ridiculous
Nope.
He filled out his stat sheet pretty damn well, though.
9 Rebounds, 4 Assists, 2 steals, 3 blocks to go with his 17 points.

Then again, that’s what happens when you play against an Atlantic 10 team.
Penn State is terrible
but I love that this team followed up a nail-biter with a pretty convincing victory over a bad team (read: the type of result good teams are supposed to get). I’m already giddy for next season.
