Tough road wins are very hard to come by....stringing together 3 and 4 game win streaks is something we just haven't done in the past 5-6 years. I'd love to see us get on a little roll. We all want to get into the top 25 and I'm sure we can...but if we want to be a STAPLE in the top 25 we have to win consistently to stay up there. Not been able to do that much over the years.

A one man court storming.....me thinks he may have an issue with security lol!! But I would love the optics of one dude in IU Cream and Crimson jumping up and down at half court!

I thought it was Tuesday....lol...I guess I'm just excited to see us play again and build off those two nice wins.

IUDan93 Posted January 11, 2022 Report Share Posted January 11, 2022 This team is good enough to win on the road. We just need to break the seal and let the wins flow. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends on the year. I have been about 8-10 times over the last 15 years. Some years there are quite a few IU fans who travel in or in the area. We usually can make a bit of noise 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We usually can make a bit of noise I always wonder about IU at other conference venues...I've said many times when I lived in Chicagoland my youngest daughter and I would make the trek to Evanston to see the Hoosiers...upper level was about 70% IU fans and the lower probably at least 20%...my daughter couldn't believe how loud our fans could get. I still want to eventually take her to a game at SSAH... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rico Posted January 11, 2022 Report Share Posted January 11, 2022 barttorvik has Iowa winning 78-76. Gives us a 43% chance of winning. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steubenhoosier Posted January 11, 2022 Report Share Posted January 11, 2022 IMO, if we are going to win, it will be something like 67-64. If Iowa scores more than 70, I think they win. I am also concerned that Sunday’s hot outside shooting won’t carry over to a visiting arena. Hope they can continue the momentum but I am like @FKIM01in that they’re going to have to show me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
