Is that a 36-point swing at THE RAC from last year to this??!!! WOW!!!
Hit their free throws down the stretch, which is key to wins in the B1G
What was the Iowa Defender doing on Sanders dunk? Why did he run out of the lane to give a clear path to the basket?
Coach P is a wizard. I was waiting for a homeless person to check in to the game for us. What an amazing job he is doing.
Those two OOC loses still sting, but it's nice to see the growth in the program. Nice defensive effort most of the night. Like most sports, good defense, creates offense. Build a big enough lead, then free throws down the stretch don't carry as much pressure.
When was the last time we had a game where we had a double digit lead the entire second half? (Major school variety)
Two different halves with Baker and Thiam having double digit scoring in the first half by hitting 3 pointers.In the second half it was Sanders ,foul shots and dunks that kept the lead for Rutgers.There were some nervous moments in the second half with Iowa swishing the nets with 3 pointers and foul shots.Rutgers was also having some trouble handling the press which made the game closer than it should have been.Sanders dunk was a game highlight.
Technically it's v. Minn in our last regular season game of 2015-2016 but they only had five scholarship players.
The last time before that you have to go back to the Houston game on 2/1/14.
buy one get one free boneless wings with vouchers they were handing out from BWW...not sure quantity size, probably small 6...for use on the first 3 days after the game
yeah only 4,002....disappointing turnout, the students really didnt turn up like they did in some previous league games and even no dance music either.
You know what was GREAT though? In the presser Pikes immediately thanks the fans, the students, dance team, cheer team, band, "riot squad," et al, for making it a "great atmosphere" tonight...instead of ignoring them or dissing them...I really, really like that!
I will say I have no idea who is responsible but this year having dance and cheer teams full squads at every game is a huge difference...for years it wasnt like this. I dont know if it was a Hobbs mandate or this was Christine idea but this year in particular is so amped up and better atmosphere wise...we have come along way since Lets Make A Deal a few years back

Just read their entire thread.
Thanks - that was hilarious.
I had flashbacks to our board when Eddie was our coach (but there wasn’t any Iowa fans like RU in Ohio defending their coach. lol)
Thanks for the link. That was fun. I liked the one guy who blamed pregame video
