In 2019, a crack commando unit was sent to Iowa City by a Dilbert character looking Commissioner for a game they were forced to play. These men promptly escaped from a winter vortex stockade to the Greater Midwest underground. Today, still wanted by the rest of the B1G, they survive as soldiers of fortune. If you need a victory, if no one else can help, and if you can find them....maybe you can root for:
The M-Team.

Do we break the clock before every away game? That happened before right?
February 1st, 2019 at 7:03 PM ^
Hey other Big Ten arenas: FIX YOUR CLOCKS!
February 1st, 2019 at 7:05 PM ^
Wow, foul on Poole for....standing there.
February 1st, 2019 at 7:06 PM ^
Both teams cold...playing in the Polar Vortex?
February 1st, 2019 at 7:08 PM ^
Tight whistle tonight - I don't like it.
February 1st, 2019 at 7:09 PM ^
Beilein is a wizard but has two terrible traits. One is an inability to have successfull inbounds plays and the other is his foul rotation strategy. Sitting both teske and Poole in the first 2 minutes with 1 fouls is nuts
February 1st, 2019 at 7:13 PM ^
Agree about the inbounds, but I've come to understand his autobench strategy - especially with a team with little depth.
We need all our guys at the end, and the only way to ensure that is to really minimize fouls at the beginning.
I do agree it seems a bit extreme at times.
February 1st, 2019 at 7:20 PM ^
If you don’t play your guys it’s like they fouled out anyways
February 1st, 2019 at 7:09 PM ^
So many fouls already.
February 1st, 2019 at 7:09 PM ^
Also love Iggy but dude needs to learn you can pass on a drive
February 1st, 2019 at 7:09 PM ^
refs calling this game tight
February 1st, 2019 at 7:10 PM ^
Refs have absolutely no idea what they're doing. Not only that, their scattershot interventions are preventing any rhythm whatsoever developing in this game. Ham-handed.
February 1st, 2019 at 7:12 PM ^
They are just calling it really tight, it’s not favoring one team but it hurts us because we play defense a lot tighter
February 1st, 2019 at 7:14 PM ^
Except when Iggy drives to the basket. He got hit as much as the Iowa kid did on the putback. Why I hate basketball reffing. If you are calling them close, you’ve got to call them all.
February 1st, 2019 at 7:10 PM ^
make them pay for pressing
February 1st, 2019 at 7:10 PM ^
These refs are so foul-happy.
Le them play.
February 1st, 2019 at 7:11 PM ^
Jesus the fouls.
February 1st, 2019 at 7:11 PM ^
Refs calling it tight. Also, the rattle of the rims are annoying. Makes a miss seem all that more worse
February 1st, 2019 at 7:11 PM ^
This is going to be an absolute parade to the line. Favors Iowa, they're deeper.
February 1st, 2019 at 7:13 PM ^
Yeah, free throws not our strong suit.
February 1st, 2019 at 7:21 PM ^
Neither are jump shots at this point.
February 1st, 2019 at 7:13 PM ^
Refs completely ruined the first 4 minutes. Survive the half
February 1st, 2019 at 7:13 PM ^
Brooks has to start scoring...
February 1st, 2019 at 7:14 PM ^
He’s not that good
February 1st, 2019 at 7:14 PM ^
This is going to be a game that does not reflect how well or poorly a team plays. It's all going to be based on referee-roulette.
This is going to be a tough night. As we knew it would be.
February 1st, 2019 at 7:15 PM ^
Wow, didn't realize Purdue has only 2 conference losses. They're having a good season.
February 1st, 2019 at 7:16 PM ^
Dumb foul there Johns.
February 1st, 2019 at 7:16 PM ^
Iggy is on!
February 1st, 2019 at 7:16 PM ^
that was a dumb foul on Johns
February 1st, 2019 at 7:21 PM ^
Johns looked like a DB who was about to be torched for a touchdown - commit an obvious foul to avoid getting dunked on
February 1st, 2019 at 7:17 PM ^
We will have trouble with Garza
February 1st, 2019 at 7:17 PM ^
It’s going to be one of these games.
February 1st, 2019 at 7:17 PM ^
I thought Iowa didn't play defense, we can't get anything going besides Iggy.
February 1st, 2019 at 7:21 PM ^
Open shots galore. Brooks, Matthews, and Z just missing.
February 1st, 2019 at 7:18 PM ^
We're getting torched on the boards. Got lucky there.
February 1st, 2019 at 7:18 PM ^
Z!!! That kid is so much fun to watch
February 1st, 2019 at 7:20 PM ^
I was just thinking this
February 1st, 2019 at 7:20 PM ^
these missed layups hurt
February 1st, 2019 at 7:20 PM ^
Holy Ice cold from 3. Geez
February 1st, 2019 at 7:22 PM ^
Yikes, 1 for 6 to start the game from 3
February 1st, 2019 at 7:20 PM ^
The usual struggle on the road after getting acclaim from Lunardi.
February 1st, 2019 at 7:20 PM ^
Cook is a bad match for iggy
February 1st, 2019 at 7:20 PM ^
Man this team are terrible shooters. Eli has to sit. Adds zero on offense
February 1st, 2019 at 7:24 PM ^
Play Nunes or Dejulius! Those guys always seem ready to let it fly when they get in
February 1st, 2019 at 7:20 PM ^
Missing wide open threes. Yuck
February 1st, 2019 at 7:21 PM ^
Story as the other games. Getting open looks just need to finish
February 1st, 2019 at 7:21 PM ^
Here live...holy he'll that charge on Garza that Ziggy got was horrible. We'll take it though...got here late so I'm assuming Teske got a quick cheap one...my biggest fear
February 1st, 2019 at 7:25 PM ^
Everbody in the country knows about auto bench and the fact that we don't have a bench.
February 1st, 2019 at 7:22 PM ^
That’s one way to handle it. Garza sits down with two fouls.
