Big Ten has always played thug ball.Hoping the assigned crew will not let Richmond play defense the way Rutgers, Wisconsin or Michigan State are allowed to in the league. Grabs, holds, moving screens constantly with no calls. That being allowed is what costs the Big Ten during tourney time.
Big ten plays the worst style of basketball possible. Iowa plays a lot faster than the rest of the league but most others in there just play how many times can we foul the other team and then don’t get me started on the officiating. Serious question for iowa fans; have y’all noticed that the refs seem to call the game way to tight in the final minute and also go to the monitor to review as many plays as possible? They do this in like 7-9 point games under a minute to go and it’s honestly kind of ridiculous, let the game end. Must be a league rule to make the final minute go as slow as possible.Big Ten has always played thug ball.
FYI......This IS NOT the November Iowa team.My Hoo son, a season ticket holder and a very good judge of basketball, saw Iowa take down UVA by a point in late November. Sees a lot of Spider games too. He believes we are easily capable of beating Iowa.
I'm going with my family and my Spider family. We will get this done! (He believes we win the second game too).
Iowa is the only state in North America sharing its entire east and west border with the two biggest waterways in the U.S.A.! (Missouri River and Mighty Mississippi.) Does that count for looking at large bodies of water? Just watch how the Hawkeyes BOAT RACE the Spiders......Go shove some corn up your ass! You would be elated to probably see the frickin ocean for once in your life. Must be rough living in iowa.
Virginia is home to the most important waterways in the US. Without settlers first sailing up the Chesapeake bay, James river and York river your joke of a state wouldn’t exist.Iowa is the only state in North America sharing its entire east and west border with the two biggest waterways in the U.S.A.!

At first, I hated this draw. I am slowly liking it more and more. I love the fact that nobody is talking about us as the upset and rather that Iowa is going to the championship or whatnot. There are countless upsets in March madness of teams nobody expects. I also came across this stat today. Team ranked in the top ten offensively and outside the top 100 defensively have gone 1 and 9 in the first round since 2000. Iowa 4th offensively and according to basketball stats and references 158 in defense. I am starting to like this more and more.
Victory was so close, he could smell it.
I agree, to its detriment.Big Ten has always played thug ball.
Go Spiders!!With the most experienced team in NCAA history, anything can happen. I thought they gave up before the A10 tourney but they proved me wrong. I don’t think they have much of a chance against Iowa, but they like proving me wrong.
That’s right! Virginia corn>iowa cornVirginia grows its own corn, go Spiders!!
Iowa is literally the greenest place I’ve ever seen. Driving from Mass to Colorado, it’s basically just Soy and Corn the whole way. But then you get to Iowa and it’s just brighter and greener.That’s right! Virginia corn>iowa corn
Not I. I know you were thinking it was me! 😂Did any of us spiders go over to the Iowa board? I have no desire to do it and I like trash talk more than most. Interesting how many of them are lurking here.
I have had 10 ID's on the Iowa board going back 20 years. Just in case.Did any of us spiders go over to the Iowa board
That’s Kansas for me. I can’t wait to we have our vengeance this year.I have had 10 ID's on the Iowa board going back 20 years. Just in case.
I understand but one thing I hope more than anything is that the team doesnt have that sentiment. The happy just to be here sentiment spells an embarrassing blowout loss.We’re a pretty friendly bunch. Honestly it’s about making it here to me. This was an underwhelming season with the team we had. They just flipped a switch at the right time. I don’t know what to make of this going forward. Hope for the best, expect the worst.
Hopefully Gilyard is calling the plays in this game too.I understand but one thing I hope more than anything is that the team doesnt have that sentiment. The happy just to be here sentiment spells an embarrassing blowout loss.

Me. I’ve mainly been interested in how you see your team and the matchups. I’m not much for trash talk though. I could work on it however. Ummmm. Keegan Murray is a big can of Raid. Take it spiders!!!Did any of us spiders go over to the Iowa board? I have no desire to do it and I like trash talk more than most. Interesting how many of them are lurking here.
Didn't realize Iowa has a coastline .. great pics
...and one from my hometown (not me on the bench).
Wow this is horrendous. Plydog!! Where are you? Save us!!I’ll take our scenery over yalls. We’ve got mountains, rolling hills, flatlands, swamps in southeast Va and even something called a beach, not sure if y’all have ever heard of that. https://www.planetware.com/pictures/virginia-usva.htm
True but it isn’t really how we like to play. Usually if we lose a head scratcher it’s when the refs let the game be super physical. We like to play a wide open offense with a lot of movement.Big Ten has always played thug ball.
That's similar to how we play. Just not as wide open. Big physical teams we struggle with the most. If we can hit a few threes. We'll be in the game.True but it isn’t really how we like to play.

Yes, actually I would.So you won't be back to congratulate us on the win over Providence?
Keegan Murray is their biggest threat. He is 6-8 and he is a threat from both inside and outside. He is their best scorer. We should rotate either Goose, Burton or Dji on him to limit his input.
We are going to need our best defensive effort to win.
Yeah, but you don't want him to get his and somebody else's.It won't matter who you put on him, he'll get his.
