Not gonna lie, I dropped into this #Iowa game at 14-2 OSU and almost shut it right off.

Obviously glad I didn’t. This one may seal the NCAA bid. Best effort of the season, great game from Folgueiras, who is a catalyst for this team when he’s on. Great game from Manyawu too. On Iowa, go Hawks.

I could not have been happier with the #Scrubs revival. That’s all.

Just not enough offensive firepower to hang with Wisconsin. Nail biter turns into boat race.

My hope is only that a befuddled Nick Boyd fouls out in the first round of the tournament when his offensive arm bar finally gets called repeatedly.

Pretty good half for #Iowa leading Wisc. at break. Very similar teams - UW has a bit more firepower and has been able to slay giants on their schedule. Iowa a bit quicker defensively.
- Good minutes from Sage
- Stirtz getting help
- Interior passing emphasis
- Folgueiras may be the key today.

That is as good as Duke can play, credit to their defense for the win.

I thought Michigan a bit complacent on offense early — content to fire 3s instead of working inside.

You know you’re playing against 6 when you play Duke, maybe 7 if you count ESPN.

Also I want Iowa nowhere near 8/9 line.

As if by example

Remember how I complained about the officiating in the Nebraska v Iowa rock fight? I would be much, much, much angrier tonight if I was a Michigan fan. Egregious, even for Duke.

#IOWA

Love the fight. Love the defense. Biggest win in a while at CHA. Was gonna say I don’t love the court storming for a win v. Nebraska but WE NEEDED THIS. on #Iowa, go Hawks

About time on that. Mast should have 10 fouls and a T. Stirtz getting bloodied all game.

Review that should have taken ten seconds takes four hours.

It is not “offensive arm “ on Stirtz. Shut up

This crew should never work again. Fire into the sun.

Where is the foul MY GOD #iowa

Double foul. Why. Guys getting body blocked on the way to the hoop, more post-shot, post-sequence fouls than I’ve seen in any game ever.

Officiating is ridiculous both ways. This game should finish around midnight.

Good, the officials protecting Mast and Hoiberg, that’s what you love to see. 🙄

Here comes a couple make-good calls. Good on Stirtz for being aggressive and Hawks are all over the boards. #Iowa

Also LOVE never getting benefit of the home court doubt in Carver Hawkeye Arena. Favorite thing about the place except for the blue hairs who get mad if you stand.

Can this #B1G analyst stop trying to rationalize officials calls on blocking fouls? Three cases that should have been play-ons and he’s describing logic that doesn’t exist.

I choose to be happy about the #Cubs 2026 slogan: “[This.]”
It may mean they sunk so much more budget into real player acquisition that they couldn’t afford two more fancy marketing words! #dontforgetthebrackets

Update: this is incredible and how did the ASG not go to this in like 1995?

Also so far this is way better. Way better telecast. More effort. The looseness of open gym with high level basketball. John Tesh and Roundball Rock. Sarah McLachlan mic drop with a cappella O Canada. Deni Avdija 3. Probable MVP. We are entertained.

Can someone take notes that the NBA All-Star Game is way better starting in late afternoon? I can’t explain it, it just is. Thank you, Olympics.

Right, that is what I missed. The dunk and the two-ball take eternity. I do not remember the three point contest leading the show.

Add to that #Iowa insult is that I switched over to the All-Star nonsense and somehow missed the entire three-point contest, the third win for #Blazers legend Damian Lillard.

All-Star Saturday sucks. There is one event people care about, and they devote hours and energy to the other two.

Disgusting. I’m already so frustrated I’m just going to shut up. Credit Purdue for being aggressive.

These Purdue kids have to hit the deck. Cannot play soft. Get angry.

Call a fucking foul. JFC.

Oh good the usual reverse-Carver calls are in force.

12 has to hit the floor if you overplay him like that. Cannot let him roll. #Iowa
