Since Dee left campus we are 29-30 in conference games. That's only gonna get worse this year. Weber's a clown.

 

This. The guy has done nothing without Dee. Also I can't wait for Guenther to retire.

To go a bit further on the A.D. stats

In the 3.5 years since Dee & Co. left....

 

Overall W-L: 75-49 60.5% (far from the merrymen "he wins 80% of his games" mantra)

Conference W-L: 29-30 49.2%

NCAA tourney record: 0-2 0% (with 2? missed tournaments)

 

 

He currently has the worst 3-season W-L % since the late Henson years, and after this season, will have the most losses in a 3-year span since Bartow.

Don't worry we are coming to town this week. You'll get your first win.

PSU was up 8 with ~2 minutes left, and up by 2 with under 30 seconds to go. Wisconsin ended on something like a 50-15 run

I'm ready for the first road win in a couple of years for Iowa.

Watching this game, I'm waiting for some kids to come out of the crowd and call next.

IU doesn't look like a 3 Big Ten win team right now.

Ames High school team wins this game.

[bcl412]

Outside of turnovers Iowa looks like a basketball team tonight. It's kind of weird.

[Sosa21MVP]

Yeah I guess IU could not possibly keep playing well for more than 2 games at a time. I was kind of afraid something like this would happen but hoped I was wrong.

 

Oh well.

[bcl412]

I'm kind of in shock. I didn't expect to beat a Big Ten team let alone by 15 on the road. I'm probably going to the Ohio State game and I'm hoping hoping Iowa can pull off an upset.

[hawkeyecub]

Good win Hawks.

Playing in Allen Fieldhouse is a joke, I think Aldrich has committed 7 fouls so far.

Agreed, but this team just cannot score on the road. I just can't get excited about this team until they figure out how to shoot. I'm also really tired of English.

They're definitely not playing well, but what are they supposed to do? 4 guys pressure the perimeter, and let you into the lane for Aldrich to commit crimes against humanity with no call.

 

And we're letting Reed and Morningstar kill us. At least let Henry and Collins go nuts.

Yeah I dunno, it's just frustrating. Without a body like Leo or DeMarre in the middle we don't stand a chance against the better teams in the league.

LOL. Your team fouls on every possession. If the refs called every Mizzou foul, they'd be auditioning fans to suit up by the 12 minute mark in 1st half.

 

We're smoking you guys, fair and square.

Mizzou is playing like crap and should lose. It becomes very frustrating to watch them play terribly when they replay a "highlight" montage of Aldrich committing unwhistled fouls over and over again. It would've been nice if they had the guts to call 3 on him in the first 12 minutes of the game instead of when it was out of reach.

[snoodmonger]

honestly, it sounds like sour grapes to me.

I could probably shoot better than 25%, so maybe that's not a bad thing.

Heard this on the radio. In his career Aldrich has fouled out one time. For a guy who is always trying to block shots that's a very low number. Collins has never fouled out of a game. For two very good defenders that is pretty much impossible to have happen. FWLIW

i think that's just part of kansas' strategy. they just hacked the hell out of iowa state on saturday.

They are good defenders. That's a big part of why they don't foul out. They position themselves well and understand the game. Also, they're usually on deep enough teams where, if they are racking up the fouls, they can sit for an extended amount of time. Most teams can't sit a star player. Kansas usually has the talent to have someone step in.

 

Missouri bumps, hand checks, slaps, reaches in, and hacks ALL THE TIME. I'd say most pressing teams do. Refs, for whatever reason, just don't call every foul on them. There were a couple of plays in the first half where X got obliterated with no foul called.

 

Against ISU, I thought KU did get away with some fouls.

 

And I'm sure, overall, KU gets more calls then most teams, especially in AFH. But we plain rolled Mizzou last night, and it had nothing to do with calls.

 

ETA: We had two more team fouls last night. At home. Against a team that bricked jumpers all night long.

The Illini held a team meeting -

http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/college/ct-spt-0126-illinois-hoops--20100125,0,7691827.story

 

Hopefully, growing some and playing aggressively was a big part of meeting. If Mike Davis and Company come out playing balls to the walls Penn State doesn't stand a chance Wednesday.
