I'm definitely going to pay attention to the team that lands Tony. Will he propel that team to a title or a deep run in the tourney? I say no based on his ups and downs. Don't tell me I'm hating on TP because I'm not. Just calling it as I see it. There are games were he was great and there are...

So after looking over the Big Ten/ Big Twelve NIL stats for athletics, I've come to a few conclusions: Michigan has a ton of money available and one might conclude the bulk of it went to the football team and not their basketball team. Houston and Iowa State are relatively on the low end , but...

Thanks

I read your article and you stated Iowa lags behind in NIL/ and support from the athletic dept in the basketball area especially. Is there a site where the financial information is available to see how far we are behind other schools?

It will be interesting to see where he lands and if under a new coach if he can become more consistent. I think it was last season against Illinois he was unstoppable and then there was a few nights ago against Utah. Yikes.

Agree. Opposing coaches see if they don't have the players to run and gun with the Hawks or the post player to feed it to maybe our best chance is to rough it up and play up into the shooters. The risk of that of course is what we finally saw late in the game....foul trouble and a parade to the...

I see Connor E from Wisconsin is available. Fran should reach out to him...he would fit right in at Iowa. Good shooter who doesn't want or can't play defense.

Guys can have off nights offensively for sure. I have no problem with that. What I saw on the defensive side from Tony was 1 of 2 things: He's either hurt and he can't react or his heads not in it. Watch a replay and you can see it clearly.

Not sure what game your watching, but 3 trips down the court the ball went or a man went right past him and he just turned his head and watched. His feet were just stuck on the floor. Watch a replay film doesn't lie. As for the idiot and shut up crap. you can suck it.

Hustle has nothing to do with emotion. If he's hurt, he shouldn't be in there.

That's all on Fran for leaving Tony in there or Fran not recognizing the lack of effort. Disappointing and you wonder why they can't get people in the seats at Carver.

This has happened before with Tony. One game he plays out of his mind and the next game he's a no show.

I would say you can see we are poor defensively when Utah can dribble the ball anywhere they want, can pretty much pass it to anyone they want without much trouble. Leaning toward just not athletic enough with these players that even if Fran all of a sudden became a defensive genius we could do...

It's really disappointing to watch some teams in the big dance just smother the other team defensively and then have to watch the Hawks just look like they can't find the wide open guy on most trips down.

Doesn't really matter how quick you are if you can get open, but can't put the ball in the hoop.
