Reminder about Iowa. They are 1-4 in last 5 games against the top 6 in the Big Ten.
But they are kicking the hell out of 12 seed NW.

There is absolutely nobody playing better right now (specifically, over the past hour or so) than Iowa. Very impressive.
Nice - they wrestled that crown from Northwestern who had yanked it away from the Nebraska juggernaut.

I love at the end when they zoomed Fran.. "why the f**k did you shoot that." Like they tapped into some ancient sorcery and he just wasted it.

Can't decide if he's laughing when he turns his back or if there is actually an onion in that hanky.
I remember my son's friends, years ago, asking about what team another would be "versing" next.
No "worst coach of the year" trophy, is there?
Michigan ranked #6 preseason. Wonderful what great coaching can do for a team! Now hoping to be in play-in game.

I just checked the Squawkeyes/kittycats shot chart and box score. Holy buttwhoopin‘ Batman! Every phase of the game . . . outrebounded 45-18? Iowa did have 15 turnovers, but they also had 114 possessions!
lol. And they were picked as coaches favorite to win the B1G. LOL. Too funny.Michigan ranked #6 preseason. Wonderful what great coaching can do for a team! Now hoping to be in play-in game.

Lets see, Iowa played a team that had to come back from a huge deficit the day before. NW was gassed and Iowa rushed through them like we did Rutgers last year. That said, Rutgers is having to win this game to be comfortable on getting in. I doubt Iowa will have the same energy tomorrow.

You already know the answer to that
For this evening's games, Mr. Pepper was better ... he said versus (the s is silent). /s
Oh look, Larry Scirotto! Good job, B10!
Bubble games happening now that are worth paying attention to:
- UNLV v Wyoming - The top 3 in the MWC (Bose St, San Diego St, Colorado St) are safely in the bracket. The tournament is at UNLV, and Wyoming is borderline and need this win. UNLV theoretically could steal the auto bid, being at home as the 5 seed, so bubble hopefuls are probably conflicted here as to who to root for.
- Oregon v Colorado - The Pac 12 is likely only going to get 3 teams in (Arizona, UCLA, USC). Oregon is on the far outside of the bubble looking in, and would need a win here (and at least one more) to get serious bubble consideration.

Plus Wyoming has Drake Jeffries from Mattoon as a starter
