Well, maybe this time we can get through this one and I can finally experience a FinaL Four. Looking at Michigan, not likely but who knows.

Is that the same Iowas State Tennessee played?

Boozer has about a 10 inch vertical. I just don't get the love in the draft.

Wish we could have used Illinois' defense against Arizona.

Thin Red Swine · Mar 28, 2026, 05:30 PM

Iowa has a disproportionately high number of attractive blonde fans.

BASS · Mar 28, 2026, 05:44 PM

Did not know they hired Clark W Griswold to install the electronics system in the arena.

The horn isn't working in Houston for Iowa vs Illinois.

I did not know that Brendan Gleeson is coaching Illinois.

Earlier they said that 60 something percent of the points for Illinois were scored by foreign players. Maybe we should get some of those.

Well we had one of them. Z going nuts with a block on one end and a dunk on the other.

Corn Pop · Mar 28, 2026, 07:14 PM

Big Z with the monster slam. Illinois up by 8.

Latest BetSaracen line: Arizona (-5) (O/U 152)

Hogfan58 · Mar 28, 2026, 08:22 PM

Amazingingly, Arizona isn't shooting 60%

Hogfan58 · Mar 28, 2026, 08:49 PM

Arizona down 7 at half. Getting out rebounded and can't make shots.

Son of Spam · Mar 28, 2026, 08:55 PM

Saw something earlier where Arizona has shot more FTs than the three teams they have played combined. Refs will take over the second half.

Painter plays a lot of guys. They can absorb a lot of it but unless Arizona decides to start getting on the boards they ain't advancing.

Show-Me Hog · Mar 28, 2026, 09:06 PM

Not the same Arizona from Thursday. Probably because they're not facing our defense, I suppose.

2 1/2 minutes into the 2nd half 3 fouls Purdue, 1 Arizona

Mike Gminski Jr. Jr. doing some work for Purdue.

3/2 now. Not much to write about there but I figured this would be a zona blowout based on my hogs bias. Looks like we just had a bad matchup and we are desperate for bigs that can bang. Purdue has them, we don't.
