I agree. I predicted them for 17 wins but I will say I expected them to be playing a little cleaner by this point but it hasnt come together yet...it will but it might not be until February We are going to lose a lot more games than people think if we don't start hitting the outside shot and learning how to defend the 3. If we play like we did last night vs. ISU we will lose by 10-15. Personally, I'd like to see us get to the line more and actually hit the FTs.

That was one sore spot for Iowa last year.

The team is shooting over 70% from the line. Even Woodbury is making FT's now. The 3's have to start dropping, though.

I just dont see the point of hoisting up 20+ threes a game when they arnt dropping. I love the three ball but I would like to see that number in 9 to 12 ranges per game until they start hitting a few.

How did the strategy of chucking up 3s work for Fran's predeccesor? Also Stu, where is your buddy Jesus? Haven't heard from him.

That was one of the better games I have seen in awhile. Those three freshmen are for real and White is just incredible.

Agreed and I think we are still a year away from seeing what Woodbury can really become. If he works his ass off in the off season putting on muscle and weight he will be tough to stop down low. I just hope they bring that kind of intensity the rest of the year, because they looked like a completely different team last night than they have so far this year.

I think its comical that some people are saying Woody isnt making an impact and isnt very good. If you actually watch the games he is a disruptive force who plays his ass off on every play. It may not show in the box score but he is crucial to this years success. I think his JR year he will be a 1st or 2nd team all Big Ten player

I hope you're right, Gumbo. I started to worry after the boyz got smoked by Wichita and Massacre Tech, but the last two "rivalry" games were encouraging.

We probably won't shoot that well from 3 the rest of the year and our D is still very shitty. Improvement but we shall see, the first two weeks of the Big Ten schedule will tell us a lot of where we will be at the end of the year. If we can find a way to start 2-2 I think we make the Dance.

I still see us as a bubble team, probably still a year away. I think there are still going to be some frustrating times ahead, specifically on defense...but overall this is going to be a fun, young team to watch.

To make the tourney, we need 8 wins in the Big Ten (assuming we win the next two games going 11-2 into conference play). 11-2....I can't believe I just wrote that.

We can probably win 9-10 B1G games this year. That would put us at 20 to 21 wins going into the conference tourney. Yeah, 9 wins would stiill be slightly under .500 in conference, but the B1G is stellar this year. 20-21 wins for a B1G school is basically a lock to the Dance. This is all saying we don't shit the bed against horrible teams.... which we might. But if we start the B1G at 11-2 and win the ones that we should win. We will be fine.

We will lose to Purdue and Northwestern at least once. But this team can steal a win from an Illinois, Michigan State, or Michigan this year to balance it out.
