Fuck, I was worried there for a minute, at least we kept it to within 20.

We are witnessing history. This is the worst Iowa team since the advent of the television.
They shouldn't be allowed to play in HD.

well, t-hawk, every year for the past few years, I have said "this is probably the worst Iowa team I have seen" and I used "probably" only because Dr. Tom had one pretty lean year during his tenure, but as of last year, that team was clearly the worst and this team is materially worse than that team. Just go in with low expectations and then you won't be as disappointed.

Low expectations? How about no expectations? I started watching Hawkeye basketball on Raycom in the early 80s. By far, this is the worst display of basketball ever put on by a team in the black and gold. Lickliter's system hinders our players. We should be runnin' and gunnin' for Christsakes. What else do we have to lose? At the very least we could try and tire the other team out.

Yeah, the sweet, sweet, dulcet tones of Larry Morgan and Mac MacCausland got me through many an Iowa winter night when I was a kid. I think that's why I've always cared more about the basketball team than the football team.
That said...holy hell. This is far and away the worst Iowa team I've ever seen. With everyone leaving the past two years...this is essentially Lickliter's first year at the helm. Do we even have anyone that's a junior or senior on the team? I mean, the grizzled veteran on the team is Matt Gatens. Think about that.
I'm not saying Lick shouldn't have his shit together by this point, but still. I'm willing to chalk this year up as a learning experience. Let's just hope they learn quickly.
