Do not feed the troll.  For the love of IU, do not feed the troll.

Whoever created the FranCon meter is an absolute genius.  Thet will never, ever, not be funny.  

Fran hit it on the nose in pre-game interview with Tracy Woolfson about how IU has changed since we me Iowa earlier in the year.  

• X's improved play
• Healthy Rob & Trey

Looks like one of the teams will be 'Rob'bed.

That was the game where Iowa used a 3/4 court press and Woodson inexplicably had Race in the backcourt with XJ brining the ball up and it was a disaster. 

Did Phinisee play that game?

JG has yet to come out of warm ups 

He had a hitch in his step in the video you posted above.  I have a feeling we aren't going to see him any time soon.

Ex wife?

No.  But better looking than #5.  

The BTT is a big old monkey on our back.  Short of a Sweet 16, I'll take the BTT every time

The experts seem to be infatuated with the Big East this year.  Based on metrics, Creighton and Marquette should be on the bubble.  Xavier should be on the outside looking in.

Didn't you take Dewey over Truman too?

Neither.  I had the Libertarian candidate that year.

We are in every single bracket I have looked at this morning, having a bye in the majority of them.

I still have us out.

Honestly don't know the answer to this...is Dayton only for at-large bids?  If not, I can't imagine there's not four auto bids or bid stealers well below IU already.  We're talking about IU being a 10 or 11 seed...that's not even close to Dayton unless I just don't understand the rules here.

Dude.  What happened to our lucky pig?  We're doomed.

I don't know whether to LOL, SMH, or tell him to STFU.

This will be another really tough game. Iowa is very hot right now. Keegan Murray is playing out of his mind right now. Keep in mind, we’ve also played 2 incredibly physical games the last 2 days as well. 

We just need someone to photoshop Fran into the 'Roadkill' image to get the boys fired up.

Yes!!!!!!!!! What a win! 

It feels so good to finally win some important games! I feel like we might be in better position then we people think for the Tournament if the committee really does take health into it. 

We're something like 10-2 with Galloway and Phinisee with wins over Purdue, OSU, Michigan and Illinois. 

I think we are in, but I have no faith in the committee acknowledging the injuries we had.

That's a tortoise. 

And I'm not a Purdue guy. Great to get another win today. 

So it is.  But, what do you identify as?

Guys. IU is in. We've played ourselves from borderline/out to 11 seed. Lunardi is a hack. Has routinely been outside the top 50 for years in their rankings. 

I've moved on hoping we get in to now hoping we get the 11 seed vs a weak 6 followed by a weak 3 seed and hope the 7 seed can knock off the 2 seed like last year a few times. 

 

11 is okay I guess.  We would have been a 1 seed in the NIT though.

Auto correct or fat finger

Wait, so are you saying the lady you are thinking about has 'fat fingers'?

More likely to get a T:

XJ or Fran ?

Connor McCaffeine got tossed today for two techs.

I hope the committee looks at our record when fully healthy with Galloway and RP in the lineup (10-2).  Also look at our last 3 losses which was in OT to OSU, 3 point loss on a lady second 3 to Rutgers and a 2 point loss at PU.  It shows we are competing even in our losses.  We now have 6 wins away from home.

So, is that an auto-correct, or does Scott have a 'lady' on his mind?

Just now, madmax said:

Truly shocked by this. We're bigger underdogs to Iowa than to Illinois? We, in theory, have an answer defensively for Murray(JG, Galloway, Race) and are finally putting everything together.

Geronimo likely will not be playing.

6 point underdogs 

Welp, all that means is I have to sacrifice an extra chicken.
