OK I'll ask... is it OK to root for the Hawkeyes tonite?

Hi Huskers,

I just popped in to say congrats on the sweet 16 appearance. I am over here on the east side of Iowa as a Hawkeye fan, and most of us on this side of the state don't have the hate for Nebraska that those closer to your border do. We reserve our hate for the Gophers, the Badgers and the Illini. I wish Sanford has stayed, but he made the right choice to go to a place and a coach that will bring out the best in his ability. As far as my Hawks go, we already know that we're not going to beat Florida. Just hoping to keep it somewhat close. I do however, think that if Florida plays the Huskers, the Huskers will win. Also, a shout out to the Husker faithful for that showing yesterday. Extremely impressive! Good luck to your boys as they go forward!

Great post.
Better luck next year.

The Gators are throwing up bricks and missing layups and free throws. They look very beatable.
I want us to be the ones to do it. We just beat the team that knocked Florida out of the SEC Tourney winning 91-74.

Let’s not get too far ahead of yourself.

I'm not saying McCollum will win a National Championship like Cignetti did, more so that their careers have had similar trajectories....they've both done nothing but win at every level.

I think I'd rather play Florida simply because Iowa knows us very well and McCollum will have them well-prepared. Meanwhile, Todd Golden will probably spend the next few days stalking girls on Instagram instead of watching film. In all seriousness, it would suck if Iowa is the team that ends our season.

Man since you mentioned it I had to check out the last time they made the sweet 16.

Not since the 1998-1999 season the last season with Tom Davis and they finish tied for 3rd in the Big 10.
Bet they have a banner hanging commerating the achievement though.....

Iowa is simultaneously not good enough to be considered our rival, but also the subject of obsession for many "fans" here.

Just started watching Florida and Iowa from the beginning. Good grief. Will the refs ever tell Iowa coach to stay off the dang floor

Wish I could find the other one with Sandfort getting absolutely trucked while setting a screen for a Mast 3.

It would appear that Iowas playing style frustrates everyone.

Up on Fl 55-45 with 12:00 remaining
