Thursday NCAA Hoops - Iowa at Sparty - Open Thread

Submitted by B-Nut-GoBlue on

On ESPN now, a 7pm tip-off

This should be a good one tonight.  Rooting for the (my) local team.  Go Hawks!

*Iowa will be a scary game this coming Sunday in Iowa City.

Wait the comments from Sparty on RCMB was that Maryland was overrated and we did them a favor because they expected to be back at #1 by next week.

guess not

Good stuff by Iowa tonight. Gonna be a tough game on Sunday. Man, I can't remember the last time college basketball was so competitive. I feel like anyone can beat anyone on any given night.

Wow I said a few weeks ago ahead of B10 season to watch Iowa and they could go 12-6 as surprise as they had 2 losses to very good teams in non conf but never expected them to go to Breslin and punch MSU the hell out.  Nice.

a) LeVert is getting better by the day, can practice today, and is *possibly* up for playing on Sunday (he sure looked like he wanted to be out on the floor during that Maryland game);

b) Iowa is a bit road-weary from traveling, playing, traveling, then having basically one day before a game (although they didn't look road-weary last night at all);

c) regardless of LeVert's status, they can find a way to get 3-4 starters in double-digits, minimize PFs and TOs, and someone gets a hot hand (looking at you, Mr. Robinson).
