Message: [QUOTE="undersized, post: 4588681, member: 11260"] Sorry, I'm just now seeing this post! I'm from Iowa originally, have attended both UI (University of Iowa) and IU (Indiana University), and live now in Indiana. Iowa will always be my #1 team but Indiana has become my fond #2. It's fun to root for two teams that have different styles of play because it helps you appreciate the many ways to approach the game of basketball. It is a bit awkward when they play each other, mainly because Caitlin Clark is [I]fantastic[/I] at at making opposing fans hate her lolol. Back in the Gustafson years my sense was that Iowa was more likable, and fans around the Big Ten were happy to root for literally any team that could beat Maryland. But the increased national press that Clark has brought has put a larger target on Iowa's back. Indiana is still salty that Iowa beat them 3 times in the 2022 season and mostly chalked it up to Holmes being less than 100%, which isn't unfair IMO. So they were happy to feel like they were finally the better team this season. Overall they were... but Clark got the last word with her buzzer beater in Iowa City. :cool: [/QUOTE]
