Prayers up!

Never thought I'd see the day where I'd be hoping for success for anything Iowa adjacent. Yet....here we are.

9:30 to go in the 1st half and Hawkins has 6 assists already for Texas Tech. Kerwin Walton a perfect 3-3 on the 3pters

Does TT really have NIL money??? Lubbock Texas? McCasland making 2.9 million.....hello? I'd at least make that call.

He's up to 9 assists with 1:17 left in the first half.

What did you not watch Landman?

Are you talking about trying to hire away McCasland? He's only in his second year so he likely would have a buyout to be released from his contract. You think Minnesota would pay that?

What coach worth a damn isn't going to have a buyout???

You're probably right. A guy could hope, right? Texas Tech just doesn't seem like a great job....and I think he's a really good coach.

McCaffrey just ejected after getting two straight technicals. lol.

 

[bga1]

Fran just got ejected. Is this the end for him?

 

[Gilthorp57]

The FranCon just got ejected. Weird, he didn't really blow up.

Gotta love Fran, I'm going to miss him if Iowa moves on.

 

[bga1]

They just look to know what they want to do and they do it. The ball is in Hawkins' hands a lot and he just finds the guys and they can all finish. Fun to watch.

He was doing so well this year. I guess it had to happen sooner or later.

It's a shithole, but there is $$$ there

An appropriate exit would have been spontaneous human combustion. Missed opportunity.

 

[USAF]

Iowa has 88 points with 1:15 left in the game. And is down by 17

 

[Gilthorp57]

Creighton in a dog fight with DePaul. 10 minutes left, DePaul up 51-40.

 

[MUgopher32]

Theres been some crazy good games today and its still not close to the late games

 

[JZABR]

Stanford and Louisville tied with less than 7 left

As I'm watching I keep thinking how much fun it would be to have the Gophers playing meaningful games in March.

Tons of $$ especially when gas and oil prices are high!

Is that even legal??

 

[stocker08]

Stanford just fumbled the ball to Hepburn who hits a buzzer beater to win the game for Louisville.

I read an article on Texas Tech NIL...it's nuts. They got the best player in softball to transfer for 1.05 million.

 

[bga1]

Texas Tech- though they have struggled to finish in the 2nd half, just has incredible spacing. They don't dribble around at all. If someone dribbles it is usually Hawkins to penetrate and dish. So fun to watch. Well coached with really good players, not superstars, other than Toppin.

Speaking of Toppin, if Pitino still had him, New Mexico would be a threat to get to the Final Four!

This thing is tied!!!

 

[cheeseheadgophfan]

Hawkins going to the line with TT up 2 and 11 seconds left.......1 and 1.

Makes them both...

 

[Gilthorp57]

This thing is tied!!!

And we have OT!!! Not understanding why DePaul didn't drive to the basket, didn't need to shoot a 3.
