This is my favorite bad Iowa team since Gatens' senior year when he shot like 70% from 3 for a month and dragged us to the NIT.

Dumb play by Purdue not to go for the ball there, but that was pretty clearly last touched by Cook

There was one a couple possessions earlier they called off Cook that clearly wasn't so it's even now imo

They said it was off Cline initially and then said the review was inconclusive. It was probably off Tyler Cook. Swanigan also could have grabbed it pretty easily but decided to let it go out of bounds instead which: lol. This is definitely why Purdue lost, not their inability to make a basket in the second half of the game or their front line repeatedly getting owned by true freshmen in the pick and roll

KU was 1 like two days ago, whatever.

I am happy to have a serious conversation about basketball if you want to. I don't think a post that was presenting an intentionally absurd argument and clearly made in jest is a particularly great building block for that. There was no way to have a serious conversation off of it because I was not being serious, which even you recognized before treating it seriously and accusing me of judging KU too harshly for some reason.

I am very sorry that this attempt to make a joke offended you so. It wasn't even that great a joke! It only became a thing because two of you somehow thought to necessary to offer genuine rebuttals, and that was funny to me.

Pete Jok's back is going out on him and Jordan Bohannon can't stay in front of anyone, so if you have multiple guards who can get to basket please enjoy all the points we're gonna give you.

With Jok hurt we're probably the worst team in the conference. That stretch of being kinda feisty was fun though! And I'm still pretty excited about the freshman class going forward

Holy poo poo.

I was #blessed enough to be one of the 16 people with season tickets for the absolute nadir of Iowa basketball (2010, when our backup PG was Todd Lickliter's 5'5" son, who would then transfer to a terrible DIII team where he got significantly fewer minutes), and just went back to see exactly how bad they were. Only 174! That actually feels a little disappointing. We weren't even the worst team in the Big Ten. I somehow forgot just how bad Indiana basketball got for a bit there

Anyway, Missouri fans I am so sorry

Fouling out IU's entire team in OT was fun.

Also worth repeating that Iowa graduated almost everyone who got meaningful minutes last year except Jok and Baer. The only upperclassmen are Jok and Uhl (and Ulh is trash). Most of non-Jok production is freshmen (and it's not like we're recruiting like Kentucky) or a sophomore former walk on in Baer. It's kind of a miracle they're even as competitive as they are.
