I guess his off balance three to send it to OT wasn't crazy enough because he just threw in a wilder one to probably ice it for Iowa.

But hold on! Indiana fouls with 3.7 seconds left down by 5. That gives them a chance!

bohannon is one scary dude when the game is on the line.

iowa may be my sleeper team to make it at least to the elite eight. their defense inside the arc could be better, but they have everything else needed to make a deep run. best of all, they're clutch in the final minutes.

Uh, I was actually thinking they would be a good pick to be upset in the first round considering they routinely barely manage to beat less-than-NCAA tournament-quality teams, but on the other hand, there are usually a lot of improbable results in the tournament.

hence "sleeper." and a sleeper pick losing in the first round shouldn't exactly be all that surprising. it's kind of what makes a sleeper a sleeper.

regardless, the wins versus ttun (by 15) and iowa state are still impressive. most of what i like about iowa is their performance and record in close games. that's the kind of mettle you want in a team come tournament time. what i don't like about them is their 2-point defense (as stated) and their lack of tournament experience.

The Pedster/Illinois game has so much flopping even Italian soccer players want them to tone it down....

 

[Jake]

Penn State wins at Illinois, 83-76. That just makes our loss to the Illini more annoying.

 

[OSU_Buckguy]

at ttun. no ward. no langford. no problem.

 

[OSU_Buckguy]

probably.

 

[OHSportsFan]

Perhaps ttun's best offense being their midget point guard hitting a sweeping hook shot isn't so good.

 

[DZ83CK]

Izzo is coaching them up this year for sure.

 

[OHSportsFan]

The RAC is a tougher place to play than the Schott

 

[OSU_Buckguy]

lol minnesota.

down 3 with 5 seconds to go. murphy on the line, shooting 3. airballs first.

 

[HenryMuto]

Losing at Rutgers does not look so bad anymore.

 

[OHSportsFan]

Rutgers beats Minnesota.

Bucks sitting clear in 7th with 9 losses.
