Iowa lost to a probably not very good Seaton Hall team. Generally looked really young. Lots of turnovers and missed free throws. The interior defense is pretty non-existant too. Tyler Cook and Pete Jok are both really good though.

Virginia humiliating Iowa early on. Dunno what the ACC season will show but this year's UVA team is really well balanced so far.

Iowa lost all but one of their real contributors from last year and are super young, they're gonna be doing well if they make the NIT this year.

That was an ugly beating though. Thankfully this game happened right after Iowa stomped the poo poo out of Nebraksa in football so no one is gonna notice or care

Lonzo Ball plays like a NBA Jam character come to life and I love him so much. I'm excited to be able to root for him without the Alford stink

Iowa somehow in the game with Jok having an awful shooting night. Cordell Pemsl gets overshadowed by Cook but he's gonna be really good in a year or two.

I just turned the game on. Hoping this is just a typical cold start for ISU.

Yeah. Iowa also couldn't miss for a long stretch.

Poor Pemsl. He's looked like a beast for long stretches this year but he's looking way over his head in this one. Kinda afraid that's gonna happen a lot against bigger and more athletic teams early in his career. He actually reminds me a little of Niang. Limited athletically but great old man game. Doesn't have the outside shot yet though.

Yeah it was tied deep into the second half. This is an all time bad Drake team too, which is saying something. They genuinely might be the worst team in D1.

Hey we won! That was a really good game. This team is a lot more fun to watch than I expected. Young guys are playing really well and Jok is on pace for one of the best seasons in school history. He's an unreal shooter and so fun to watch when he gets rolling. We'll still get smoked a few more times like we did against Purdue because the defense is trash, but if we're hitting threes we can at least score with just about anyone in the conference.

Jok is playing like poo poo but thankfully Isiah Moss randomly decided to go off

Iowa actually is pretty fun this year even if we're not very good. We have a pretty good offense, play really fast, and play no defense at all

He's related? I knew there was a reason I instinctively hated him.

Also, DOUBLE OVERTIME :suspense:

Yeah he's the fourth to play D1 basketball. The two at Wisconsin and then another at Northern Iowa. They're all from near Cedar Rapids and their dad played football at Iowa in the 80s. The oldest one wanted to go to Iowa but Alford barely recruited him.

Ugh, Iowa really fell apart at the end their. Not unexpected from a young team but hard to watch. Really good game though.
