That's the formula to replicate. BtownStrength, Pagoda, BannerVille and 1 other 4 Quote

That's the formula to replicate. 100%. Seems like every time we have missed the tournament since the Knight era it's been for one of 3 reasons...no PG, no shooting, or no size. Gotta have all 3.

RoadRage Posted March 28 Author Posted March 28 Iowa gets everyone to play at their speed....Illinois should run as much as possible in the second half! Quote

Uspshoosier Posted March 28 Posted March 28 McCollum running excellent offensive sets in this game. Give it to Stirtz with the clock running low and let him make a play Demo, Home Jersey, Ryno6284 and 2 others 5 Quote

Ability to make effective in-game adjustments is amplified in importance with the short prep times in between games. Impressive.

Bit iowas had great game plans every game. He’s the real deal. If they land a really good portal point guard, which I would assume they have a good chance to do, they will be off to the races again next year. skhoosier2 and Home Jersey 2 Quote

It hurts to see… True, but I kind of hate the way Underwood has chosen to play this game even if they end up getting it done. He’s decided he’s fine playing a 60 possession game. They’re getting into offense even later than Iowa. Sorry, no, if you’re better you need to create earlier offense and more possessions. Pagoda 1 Quote

DeVries may turn out fine, just need to be patient! JF87 1 Quote

LamarCheeks Posted March 29 Posted March 29 Iowa is done, but they blew about 15-20 seconds over Illinois' past two possessions by waiting too long to foul. skhoosier2 and FortWayneHoosier 2 Quote
Uspshoosier Posted March 29 Posted March 29 Heck of a turnaround for McCollum at the end of the season. Lost 7 of 10 and was 0-6 vs Ken Pom top 40 away from home. Got into the tourney and proceeded to win 3 straight against the top 40 before running into Illinois. Looking forward to see what he does in year 2. Stirtz has been a joy to watch. Heck of a college career Home Jersey, RoadRage, BannerVille and 4 others 6 1 Quote
RoadRage Posted March 29 Author Posted March 29 Ben watching the game last night knows Boswell can't hit a free throw! Of course he won't miss tonight! Quote
