Given how the bubble played out, they needed to get to the B1G tourney championship game and probably needed to win it. However, your overall point is correct and I agree with it.

Do you think the 50-100 million dollar renovation is coming to Carver in the next 5 years? We all know Carver ain’t going anywhere, anytime soon. IMO, the capacity goes from 15500 to 12500. They double up on the “HawkNest” thing that Alford tried to create. Personally, I think that it is...

I thought Harding was under 6 foot. Don’t trust my judgment on this stuff I had Braden Smith at 6’3.;)

optics IMO, Pryce Sandfort can step into the Pmac role and actually may end up being better. It is just the perception and how it looks which is the killer. A coach’s kid that doesn’t want to play his final year for his Dad is a bad look.

Fair Braden Smith is 6’0 175 lbs. and Harding is 5’10 150 lbs. In my head I had Brandon Smith at 6’2 or 6’3, but he really isn’t that much bigger than Harding. Braden Smith is the obvious comp, but it is the size thing with Harding that make people like me hesitant on him. Now that I know BS...

Sarcasm? I can’t really tell if you are being a smart ass or not. It is a message board so I am just throwing out thoughts and/or opinions.

When he was healthy, at best, he was an average on-the-ball defender, when he wasn’t, he sucked. His best attribute was getting into the lane and getting buckets or getting to the the free throw line. I’m not throwing shade at Perk because Iowa doesn’t have anyone on their current roster that...

Which makes me cringe a little…yes, there are other factors at play here, but it feels like an element of this… is that both dudes want to get out of Dodge.

It always feels like Fran is getting off to a slow start in B1G play. Every year, it is like he has to overcome a 0-2, 0-3 start. I actually need to do the homework, to see if that is actually true, but man, it feels that way.

I think Pryce slides into the Pmac role and is actually better. Harding is the one where I struggle with. I don’t know if he is a starter, getting 25+ minutes a game or a good role player getting 10 minutes a game.

The comp is Duncan Robinson. Am I guilty of the white guy comparison thing? Yeah, a little bit. If I am Payton I am looking at DR on how he got to the league and how he stuck. DR has made nearly 100 million dollars in the NBA by being a 6’7 guy that can shoot. If you are Payton that is the...

They were one player short all year long. Bluder and Co. did a great job of masking that. It only caught up with them until the very end. Amazing job by Bluder and her entire coaching staff.

Missing out on Morrow was the key, this is the ONE game where she would have been the difference maker. I totally get why she chose LSU, not going to throw shade on that. This is the one freaking game where you needed someone who could automatically get you 15 and 12.

kudos to Raven Johnson that straight up got embarrassed last year. Perfect example of putting your head down and putting the work in the following year.
