I was curious why shortening games was deemed necessary. Honest answer. Haven't seen the data reflecting that viewership as a whole is overwhelming in favor of shortening games. My home is in Texas and the only game I would be interested in attending would be the Hawkeyes but the distance is...

The article didn't divulge the perceived need to shorten the game. Thought it might be corporate pressure (Sports Networks) minimizing games running over into another games time slot. Then found this article released by CBS Sports that appears to answer the question, to wit: 'A convergence of...

Ostensibly because NCAA games are taking too long. Here is LINK

Have been watching Matt Gatens during time outs. Often he is seen in one-on-one conversations with Tony Perkins, Ahron Ulis, and Payton Sandfort. Either by direction or on his own, I believe he has taken on responsibility for development of the guards. By the way, development of the guards...

Critically, Dix was on the floor at the end of the Rutgers game. One, because he is dependable at the stripe, and two he plays excellent defense. Was not surprised to see him get so many minutes against Michigan. He is steady.

I'm not a 'bud.' That was an ad hominem hung on me by okeefe4prez. Sorry my post appeared that I was embarrassed. Far from it. I have been a fan of the Hawkeyes since the 1940's. And a graduate of the University of Iowa. Apparently not well formed, my point was that shots were not falling for...

I saw your screaming post in huge font in all caps and bold but my eyes focused more on the tags below. It appears you pin Jon's critique as a badge of honor. There was a time when players weren't singled out. JBO didn't single-handily lose this game. There was a surrounding cast--starters and...

Actually 3 starters are grad + 1 sr. And first four off bench include 1 grad, 1 sr, and 1 rsjr.

Do not believe Kris has a body of work to impress the NBA. Overseas: I don't know their criteria. It is a minority view, but I have been thinking that the twins have been together for a long time. So, Keegan comes back for one more year with Kris and then they both declare for the draft in...

The +/- stat is telling. In this game Hawkeye guards had a collective net +24; IU guards net -57. As you know this stat measures a player's impact on the game. Also, Hawks won the rebounding battle which has been a problem this season. And look at where points came from: +16 turnovers; +2...

When Josh O was in, Cockburn pivoted into him and was stopped cold. The camera caught the astonishment on Kofi's face. Except Josh O does not have the conditioning for long minutes and running the floor. The press does not work if the 5 doesn't get down the floor quickly and set up D under...

FWIW have seen Xavier Williams listed as a cornerback on depth chart. If any credence can be given to depth charts.

SF is desperate. After dumping 8 offensive coaches might be good idea to wait until game is over before counting AM out.

In the depth chart released ahead of Wisconsin game Lachey is listed. At right corner Roberts and Harris are listed. Moss apparently out...

Purdue entered the game with the RB cupboard nearly bare. Repeatedly, facing 3 and long, and an obvious passing down the center and a guard would double team a DT and force to sideline direction. The opposite guard would fade to the inside finessing the DT to take path of least resistance to...
