College game should go to 4 refs, like NHL did a few years ago. Cleaned up the game, more excitement, movement, crowds are great. Put a ref on each baseline, 2 in the middle work up and down. No more missed break away calls. Eliminate the 3pt line until 9th grade. Coached since 1985. So many...

While 20 conference games is good for BTN & Fox Sports, the beating up on each other, does knock teams down a seed or two. Big10 had an a large number of 7-10 seeds. Bump everyone up 1-2 seed lines and higher probability of more tourney wins. Candice Parker made a good point that the Big10 is...

might be strangest conference season ever. 0-3 and down 28-7 at home to Indiana. Then 7-5 with road games coming up. Most were hoping for 10-10 or 11-9 gets you in the tourney. Then 2 ugly shooting road losses. Now it's "need to go 2-1, the last 3 games". Hawks go 2-1 the last 3 games to...

Iowa 2-6 against the teams playing on Wed at BTT. 9-3 v. those who are not. I'm sure coaches talk their ear off about 'respect everybody'. Record shows that they are still college kids and still think they can 'show up and win'. TP & KM looked pissed off v. Indiana on Tuesday and cruise control...

Iowa 11-37 shooting, 3-16 3ptrs 2nd half. PMac = +7 KrisM = -10

Solid article, thanks!! Connor deserves a "C" on his jersey - perfect example of a Captain.

After being in CHA for CClark buzzer beater, looked at Friday session tickets in Mpls Women's General Admission - $18 ticket (fair) + $18.16 (3 separate fees) = $36.16 Total Men's GA - Thurs night session (Hawks current place) - $23 for nose bleed + $14.50 = $37.50 Would like to take 4 of us...

He was getting taking to the rim by 'men' guards in Big10 play..... just has to get 10-15 lbs on him

Just take the "30" off of CMac's jersey and replace it with " C ". He is Ding up on Sensibaugh, rebounding, assists, organizes.... just what a CAPTAIN does!!!

BF would be an NFL asst/analyst now except for this hanging over his head. He is currently unable to be hired at that level with these circumstances. Otherwise there would have been change. Every NFL team now has 22-26 'coaches'.

For us of a certain age & time, we can say exactly where we were, who we were with, etc. when the news broke. Much like my 84 yr old mom talks about when JFK was killed. I remember we had a moment of silence the next night before a high school game in east central Iowa.

They always outlet as far and as fast up the floor as possible, whether after a FGM or Def Reb. They usually have a low number of turnovers, therefore more chances to score/possession. Quick pace gives them a couple easy hoops every half, wears teams out later in the half, leads to more fouling...

MLand was suppose to be a very tough defensive team. They had a week to prepare and get healthy. Unreal, how many easy layups Iowa got, especially in the 1st half. Shocked how soft the turtles were at the rim.

Gotta give Fran credit. Rides with group that is working. Plays the 'first to 80' game, not necessarily the best defensive group. The pace got to UM just enough. UM has some 1 & done guys. They will continue to get better, glad Hawks don't go to Ann Arbor later. That was so entertaining...

Wis loss in OT (and their 1-10 guy hits a 3 in OT.) Penn St loss with last possession opportunity. Ind comeback ...... this league is brutal, again. Not much difference between 1-3 & 3-1. E. Illinois gets trucked by Tenn Tech.
