[Herky] Final Minnesota 102 Iowa 95 OT

[Jayant Rajgopal]

I think it's a bit too soon to panic - sometimes the better team loses
because it simply doesn't play as well as the other one :-)
This is one of the best offensive Iowa teams I've seen in a long time.
They also have depth, experience and that one thing you need to go far in
the tournament - a true superstar.
On the flip side, they often seem to play just AWFUL defense, and (other
than Touissant) they are painfully s-l-o-w.
That said, I still think - despite the fact that this year there are lots
of other very good teams - Iowa is one of the best teams in the country,
and they have as good a shot as any to make a deep run in the tournament.

Hmmm, Hawkeye-overexpectation syndrome?

P.S. Is it just me or does Coach Mac come across as perpetually angry? It
scares me because he always looks like he's inches away from a Technical...
