"Lickliter took over a struggling Iowa program"
Weren’t they good before Lickliter and horrible since he arrived?
What in the seven hells?
How do we give up an alley-oop (and on the next possession, a wide-open layup) to Iowa?
Or in the half court
Lowest assist rate (4.6) on team outside of Sherman.

True
Don’t you error on the side of the block? I guess I am making that up. But I’d error on the side of the defense.
Probably on a pretty flat trajectory
Given how high he was when he released it.

Dahlman
Be nice to see Dahlman get on the board tonight
Beauty of a pass
No margin for error there.

I shouldn't have been critical of Summers' passing
Has 3 assists already tonight.

Stupid, stupid play by Lucious
Play for last shot, rather than taking a contested, awkward drive with 8 seconds left.
Halftime stats
PPP: 1.04
eFG: 53.3
TO: 20.7
OR: 35.3
FTR: 23.3
Opp PPP: 0.71
Opp eFG: 45.7
Opp TO: 28.0
Opp OR: 6.7 (no, not a typo)
Opp FTR: 13.0
+/-: Allen +18, Green +16, Summers +16, Morgan +11, Lucas +10
I'm wondering the same thing.
Unless they’re homemade, in which case I salute you, SpartanDan.
PP-TPW.
The Only Colors
I'm guess scacchoops.com
BTW, Our friend Dylan indicates he doesn’t think the +/- stats there are reliable.

That's what you get for skipping the last game thread

Lickliter
How tall is lickliter? He looks short standing next to Lucas, who is barely 6’.
Strength of Schedule
UNC’s response to poor road performances? Lose to Georgia Tech and losing to Wake Forest at the half…. both at home. And that Florida loss is looking a little more iffy.
Poor decision by Allen to try to dunk it
Helped fuel Iowa’s run.

Would have probably killed the run if it worked, though
I’d be fine with anyone who can actually dunk consistently trying it.
+1

"3:59 left and we've got a game."
Not what I wanted to hear from Gus Johnson tonight.

Are our guys aware that the game lasts 40 minutes?
We played about 25 good minutes against Illinois and not much more tonight.
11+ straight at the line
(Not to jinx him)

Thank You TOC
Thank you for the intelligent, rational, mature discussion of basketball.
Those mofo’s at Trevor’s lil site finally pushed me over the edge.
Not feeling all that rational at the moment
But thanks

gee, laying it on a little thick there, aren't we?
the ‘Albert Einstein’ of the Big Ten?
Einstein wasn't as versatile as Green
More like the DaVinci of the Big Ten. :)

Iowa should have fouled at the beginning of this possession

by KJ@theonlycolors on Jan 20, 2010 7:27 PM CST reply actions
No kidding
Down 7 with 50 seconds is a bad situation. Down 5 with 22 is worse. (And that assumes we don’t make a shot here.)
Yeah, but
coaches hate to foul with the shot clock still on
by zeke4heisman on Jan 20, 2010 7:28 PM CST up reply actions
Not the ones I've seen
Fouling usually starts with a minute left if it’s a two- or three-possession game.
I would agree for a 3 possession game, but not in a 2 possession IMO

talking about what i have seen, not what i would do as a coach

How about we just agree never to speak of this game again?
Because I’d really rather not write a recap of this.

I can't believe
I can’t believe how close this was. This made me physically ill. I mean, Iowa’s team is so white you have to wonder if they’re violating some statute of the Civil Rights Act. Should not have been a one possession game at any point in the second half.
Light a man a fire, he'll stay warm for a day.
Light a man afire, he'll be warm for the rest of his life.
