Completely agree. I only picked ISU to win 1 game because I didn't expect Purdue to lose. ISU struggles with big men and defensive teams and Purdue would have had their number instead it was Virginia. And Look what players played big against them the big guys.

I agree on Baer coming off the bench early. I just was putting out what positions I had each in. I think he will be the 6th or 7th man next year. But I want him or Jones in the starting lineup over Uhl as I have mellowed a lot on what he will be able to do. I think Baer is best off the bench...

#3 is very wrong. Motion offense is a misnomer as most teams use motion offense as very few only use sets. There are also multiple types of motion offenses. Kentucky and Calipari use what is called the dribble drive motion. UNC under Roy Williams uses a motion offense. Wisconsin this year...

I have a lineup that I think will possibly be how it ends up. I am not sold on Uhl being a starter. I am also going to label positions different as I think the roster sets up differently. Point Guard - Williams/Bohannon Shooting Guard - Jok/Flemming/Ellingson/Williams Attack Guard/Small...

The problem is simple and not what people think. The team is deferring to uthoff and jok too much and they are playing too much one on one hero ball. They are dribbling to jump shots and not attacking the rim enough and they are not moving without the ball for catch and shoot situations. Gesell...

The way you tackle in rugby is actually better than how most teach tackling in football. NO helmet in rugby means you can't use your head in the tackle. I coach my football players to tackle like rugby players because it takes the head out of it.

What does that make the top 5 then? 1) Maryland 2) Iowa State 3) Notre Dame 4) Dayton 5) Iowa Since those are the 4 that beat Iowa I guess those are the top 4. Yet Kansas and Texas A & M and Baylor beat ISU so they should be ahead of ISU which pushes Iowa back even further. Maryland lost...

Mike is on pace to be the first hawkeye to get 200 assists in a season. With all the great pgs iowa has had and it has never happened. I very much want him to get there as he is my favorite type of pg...a pass first, defensive guy. Watch the last few games and he should have had a bunch of...

I would like to see them run a 2 man game of pick and roll/pop with gesell and uthoff and run jok off a double screen for an outlet three.

I get what you are saying but how is that any different than Uthoff or Haluska who each only had 3 yrs at Iowa because they went to other schools first. Just because they didn't play their whole career at Iowa doesn't mean you can't put them in the top.

I like that Fran is finding times to get Wagner and Ellingson in more, want him to do that with Williams too. Get them each a 2 or 3 min a half.

I am not concerned with Mike but I agree I don't like their late game choices. I think they should just run their regular offense with about 10 to 12 sec left because they have so many players who can hit a shot. That or run a two man game of pick and roll with gesell and uthoff...gives lots...

PG - Gesell (great pure pg and this year we are finally seeing what he is capable after having the ball taken from him more than he should have earlier in his career, underrated defense) SG - Gatens (pure shooter and solid defense, played within the flow of the offense and was lights out in his...

He is on pace for more than 200 assists for the season...I could be wrong but I think he would be the first hawk to do it, if he can keep it up. And to think there are people who think he isn't very good.

This is exactly what I thought. In iowa's scheme cohesion is important to the line and the switches that were made seemed to me to cause the problems as the line didn't trade off or know where each other would be.
