Can't believe the B1G scheduled this game for NFL Championship Sunday. Just stupid. Nobody will be watching this game after halftime other than hardcore fans. Why couldn't the game have been on Saturday? I am so sick of Sunday games.

Maybe that's a good thing. Our record for Sunday games is miserable.

because Iowa just played Thursday. There are 7 big 10 games to schedule, 4 are on Saturday, 3 on Sunday, 2 of them begin at noon. You have to show these games on tv

I dont see what the big deal is, the world does not stop for NFL playoffs

Looks like we have two more Sunday games after this one: at Penn State on 2/26 and home vs. Northwestern on 3/5. That NW one really stinks because it's a Sunday night game that puts us on shorter rest for the Big Ten tournament.

@bac2therac: like it or not, the sports world does largely stop for the NFL playoffs. Especially the championship games.

why would the sports world be interested in a regular season game between two unranked Big 10 schools. Its mainly a game watched by fans of Iowa and Rutgers. I do not see that changing with the playoffs on. This wasnt a game put on FOX or CBS anyhow

I agree it is not a big deal, but as for going to the RAC, I am not a fan of so many Sunday games. Seems like they have been increasing substantially in number for the last couple years.

Well - odds of Rutgers scoring exactly 65 points are eerily high.

We’ve played 9 BIG games and there cannot be a more consistent offense in the country.

63 (1)
64 (1)
65 (4)
66 (1)
68 (1) - OT game

Michigan State was an outlier at 57. Maybe we can finally have an outlier the other way?

Maybe the NFL conflict helps. People in Iowa like the NFL. Maybe the game isn't sold out. Maybe in the 2nd half, the crowd is looking down at their phones instead of getting into the basketball game.

Let's put it this way. The conflict certainly doesn't help Iowa's home court advantage. As far as who wins. It will likely come down to whether Iowa is above or below 33% from deep.

Fran has our number, and we can’t seem to score 70+ against anybody in the Big Ten.

On the bright side - we’re also not laying as many complete eggs on offense. By this time last year we had 4 games where we scored 51 or less. Just SHU so far this year. 57 vs Michigan State and 60+ in all other games.

You didn't check this but 12 teams will be playing that day. Ohio State and Michigan State play on Saturday 3/4, everyone else is on Sunday. Okay, we have a later start than most. If that makes a difference several days later... besides, get the double bye and we get more rest than the first opponent anyway.
