Muckslinger --TUESDAY 13* ((GET IN EARLY))

[Muckslinger]

This is a early post for one Tuesday Game. I want you to get it early before it moves. This game will be at 4 to 4.5 at tip.

I'm from Iowa and have watched everyone of Iowa basketball game this year.

This team is one of the worst in Iowa Basketball History.

Please see my past big posts over 10*

Iowa struggles with athletic teams. There past game was against north carolina central and they struggled badly.

I see Malcolm Delaney having a big game.

VT is 0-4 ATS

Iowa is 1-5 ATS


13* -- V. TECH -2

Hey Muck. I'm from Iowa also and a huge hawk fan but I totally agree with you ... my line is at Va Tech -3 ... Alllll over that ... hawks might hang around for a bit but just have to many turnovers and can't get the ball in the hole .. Va Tech big eventhough I would love to see the hawks play well they just arent good enough

[TNell]

Got V.Tech at -3 myself Muck. Thanks for the insite. I love the Big Ten, and I agree that Iowa is a pretty poor team. Good luck to all of us.

Starting 2-4 overall, the 2009-10 season has been full of lapses, but none
more prominent — and consistent — than the Hawkeyes’ lack of shooting touch
beyond the 3-point line.

For the year, Lickliter’s squad is 41-of-154 (27 percent) from long
distance, including a 3-for-20 output against North Carolina Central on Nov.
28.

Tonight, Iowa’s 3-point shooters will again be tested — this time, by a wiry
Virginia Tech backcourt.

Only a week after playing Texas and Wichita State on back-to-back nights,
the Hawkeyes (2-4) will host Seth Greenberg’s Hokies (4-1) in Carver-Hawkeye
Arena as a part of the Big Ten/ACC Challenge beginning at 8:35 p.m.
“It’s another part of this schedule that’s very demanding,” Lickliter said

*Virginia Tech, which has defended the 3-pointer well this year (opponents
are 21-of-71, 29.5 percent), brings a defense that is only giving up 58
points per game*
**

That’s especially crucial tonight, when one of the premier scorers in the
ACC, junior Malcolm Delaney, comes to town. The 6-3 guard has scored 56
points in his last two games; he is averaging 21.8 points per game.

When asked about Delaney, Lickliter’s reaction was simply, “Oh, my.”

VT sucks too, but somebody has to win! GL

Hawk fan here too, and yes they are tough to watch again this year, BUT, they are playing quicker than in the past , and IF , they hit some threes they could contend in some games - they do play decent defense.

I am on VT as well but I don't feel real ' automatic' about that choice as I did when Ia played Texas .

Goodluck muck I'm tailing you. Iowa needs to slow down they got off to a good start... Let's go vtech!
