Week of 2/16 Games Thread

Will agree and it was not a hard call to swallow the whistle. Stirtz flopped!!! Mast was a stature. And the very next play the Iowa player did not even slow down in his moving screen and simply ran over the defensive player....no call!!
Sometimes i wonder if Cronin is legitimately just asking for the buyout
Gotta be Cronin's swan song. Hard to even imagine the UCLA PTB will condone his act a minute longer than season's end. Who in their right mind wants to play for that fool. Lots of kids would take the money and go through the motions, but there are hundreds of coaches for which college kids would play their tails off.
To me it looks like he just wants his buyout and hit the road.

Kentucky will lose at home to UGA.
didn't he just get extended for 20+ mill.
if he is pulling a Costanza to try and get fired then that's some Andy Kaufman (the comedian not our beloved) type performance
Kentucky is a bubble team with a blue chip name, which is the only reason they were ranked recently.
Kentucky seems like the 9 seed that loses in the first round

Props to Cronin for throwing his own dude out of the game. I respect the hell out of it.
Hahahahaha.
Nebraska doing Nebraska things. I love it.

He's such an angry lil guy
I like Carver but Iowa fans are a lot more realistic about this particular teams ceiling than usual.

What is the context for this?
He did what Izzo should have done! His player made a dangerous play … pretty nasty. Sent him packing ….. I guess that was why.
His guys were getting curb stomped by MSU. Hard foul on Cooper for a tech, and as much as I think Cronin needs to get on meds, this was probably the right call. He needs to move on and let UCLA figure out their program.
UCLA guy attempted chase down block and committed hard-ish foul that wasn't flagrant in my (or ref's) opinion, but others might have disagreed. UCLA was down big and under 5 mins left to go.
Cronin aspires to be besties w/Izzo so he "ejects" his own player.
I dont like Cronin so he gets no benefit of doubt from me, and this appears to be all for shore and to kiss-up to Izzo, but others may believe he was trying to be upstanding and send a message about the "right way to play" to the player/team.
We keep saying this but they keep losing. 2-4 their last 6 games after starting 20-0, only wins being Rutgers and Northwestern.
I think they lose at minimum once more.
To me their only great performance this year is our game, which, take away that Tomi bad call or crazy buzzer beater.... I'm not sure they win either.
They have a very good team, but not a great team.
"We"? Hold up hoss

I totally agree btw. They are not great. Very solid. But they peaked awhile ago.
The guy made a pretty dirty hard foul on a breakaway with a couple minutes to go while down 27. He squared up with the guy he fouled (I think it was Cooper) and they were pulled apart before any blows were thrown. Cronin told him to go to the locker room before the review even started.
They love to turn the ball over. The key is offensive efficiency and controlling the pace when they do.And we're really really historically good at that. With AS back, I think we will be just fine.
You must be even more upset with KenPom and Torvik. They have the nerve to put 5 in the top 20

I’d MAYBE add at Michigan, too. They were short handed, had some very questionable calls go against them and were right in it until the end.
However, it can’t be denied that if they didn’t hit that buzzer beater three vs. us in Champaign and we end up beating them in OT, they never get half the momentum they eventually got, even at 19-1.
