LittleHurt05 Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 QUOTE (He_Gawn @ Feb 2, 2011 -> 07:54 PM) WTF Indiana? They didn't rush the court again did they? QUOTE (danman31 @ Feb 2, 2011 -> 10:23 PM) Every team that has traveled in this storm has lost, most of them to bad teams. The storm is still no excuse for Michigan State to get routed vs. Iowa. Losing a close game is one thing, but that was an ass kicking. They appear to be in straight free fall mode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chisoxfn Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 QUOTE (Heads22 @ Feb 2, 2011 -> 08:05 PM) Wow. On a side note, Iowa State is showing interest in Lucious, because.....why not. Under Hoiberg ISU has shown interest in any player that has talent. Sometimes a good thing, sometimes a bad thing. Either way, for at least this year, Iowa basketball (University and ISU) is horrendous. But I'll take our 2nd win in conference play against the Spartans!!!

Sometimes a good thing, sometimes a bad thing. Either way, for at least this year, Iowa basketball (University and ISU) is horrendous. That's because it will take a few years for Hoiberg to get any good recruiting underneath him and get that talent onto the team. Meantime, they are finding hole-patch players wherever they can. 3 of their starters are seniors too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I personally find it pathetic by Hoiberg, and I thought he had more character than that. Right now, he's no different than how Cal was at Memphis or Tark the Shark at Fresno St. It's to the point that if you get kicked out of school, Hoiberg will be interested in you.

Chisoxfn Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 Royce White was one of them. Minnesota recruit who was dismissed due to problems (he beat a mall cop after being confronted on the robbery). A complete all world talent though. http://www.usatoday.com/sports/college/men...yce-white_N.htm Chris Allen (transfer from Michigan State) The reasons we don't know is he had all kinds of problems with his teammates and it got to the point that a lot of rumors pointed to him being just a pure scumbag.

Interesting. I heard about White, but thought he was ruled ineligible. Back when I was in school there, it was a point of pride that ISU tended to be more stringent about player behavior and penalties for doing stupid s***. I wonder if that still holds, and if White will be on a short leash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxfn Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 All I can say is whenever someone with talent has gotten dismissed with problems, Hoiberg and Iowa State has been all over em or at least trying to grab em. Hell, I don't blame Freddy at all. If he wants to go that route its fine, but you get the wrong crop in and it can make your program a disaster overnight. Iowa has had to learn the hardway now that they've had a few football problems come there way (and of course the Pierre Pierce incident with Alford years ago).

fathom Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 (edited) Wow Paul Hewitt, you f***ing suck! Just a little under 2 months, and your ass will get fired and then you can go try to advise more black players to play for black coaches. Congrats Zen on picking up the rare ACC win.

RockRaines Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 I hate that the game plan to try and beat OSU is to play slow and dirty. It makes for a boring and frustrating game. I think teams outside the conference will try to run a bit more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heads22 Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 I'm close with the ISU basketball program. FWIW, White and Allen have stayed COMPLETELY out of trouble. Say what you want about what they did before, but they have been perfect fits so far, with both the guys embracing their role on the scout team. And fathom, everything I've heard is that Hoiberg knows how to play the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can have a break if you want one, no need to swear. And yes, that's what every team in conference has tried to do, limit OSUs possessions and send them to the line with physical play. It only takes watching a game to figure that out. Haha matta and the espn commentators just said the same thing.

Gotcha. Every player is terrible, and that's why they hacked and pushed off all game? I honestly didn't know that. If you are referring to the endless beating on Sullinger, he's been about a 75 percent free throw shooter all year i wouldn't call that terrible. Anyone who has talked about OSU in the past month has talked about playing them slow and physical, it's not exactly a mystery. The good news is that Michigan still sucks.

I don't think I'd call him dirty, but he knows what to do. And I know you aren't. Just saying that Royce and Chris have been great (I know Royce has been going to class too) as well as Babb and Booker. Having 5 different guys sit out at once has helped them, I think.

If i was Bo, i wouldn't stray from their run and gun offense. Just for reference, UM held OSU way under their avg FGA tonight, NU held them to their lowest ever under Matta. It's not random that opposing teams are taking the air out of the ball, it's a way for less talented teams to try and keep it close. A team like your badgers at home are just looking to play their game. Edited February 4, 2011 by RockRaines Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
