A quick search shows Maryland and USC are very interested in landing Dauda. Cannot see the Iowa staff forcing Ava Jones to go medical and forego ever playing at Iowa. They really are like a family, and family doesn't do that to a family member, no matter what. Wish we knew how much Swarm $$...

At 6'4" Maryam Dauda would add needed depth at the 4 and 5 spots. But, unless i misunderstand the status of the current roster, aren't all the scholarships committed to current and incoming players?

uh, quarter century, actually. But point made.

Iowa men’s basketball averaged 5,742 fans per game over the course of the 2023-24 season, according to tickets scanned data obtained by The Gazette via a public records request. Iowa women’s basketball nearly doubled that, averaging 10,779 tickets scanned per game in the regular season. That...

It's the off season for the Iowa women, so here's a bit of trivia just shared with me in an email from a classmate at Iowa a very long time ago. This is a copy and paste from his email: "I just found out from my former fellow teacher at Preston, Iowa, that Kylie Feuerbach of the Iowa...

The latest story in the CR Gazette today about the outstanding success the champion Iowa women's wrestling team has had makes one wonder about the future of NCAA women's wrestling Apparently there are 3 D-1 women's wrestling teams right now. Are other D-1 universities adding women's wrestling...

Couldn't be happier for CC. No one deserves it more than she does. As a complete aside, how much of a markup on hers and other shoes and products must there be by Nike in order to turn a profit? Clark's $28M is but one of many athletes with whom they have mega-bucks contracts, plus the money...

Couldn't agree with you more! This move it completely wrong. Still ticks me off that Pete Carroll scurried out of USC before he could be punished, and instead became a multi-millionaire with Seattle, which accepted him, warts and all. To a lesser degree, while the Gander staff left behind...

Totally agree that Hill played far too much last season without giving a backup playing time, and a chance to win the starting spot. With that said, and Hill fortunately "over the hill", a doff of the cap to how KF handled the transfer announcement. After the final practice, KF commented about...

Just watched the Kings bury the Golden State Warriors in an elimination game, 118 to 94. What a treat to watch Keegan Murray be "the man" for Sacramento. 32 points and 9 boards!

Since there are 32 NIT teams, and 4 brackets, each with the 1 through 4 seed listed, that almost certainly means 1 plays 8, 2 plays 7, 3 plays 6 and 4 plays 5. So, K State is the 6 seed in the Iowa's bracket since the Hawks are the 3 seed.

When she's healthy Molly Davis is a starter, so Caitlin, Kate, Gabby and Molly will all be gone. Obviously, Syd's all-tournament team performance makes her an awesome starter, along with Hannah. Kylie, Taylor and Addison will all have shots at starting--and 4 top notch recruits, 3 with 4 stars...

Now she just needs to add "led her team to the 2024 National Title" to her unparalleled list of accomplishments! GO HAWKS!!!!

ISU is #2 in KenPom Defense rating ... Iowa is #272. While Iowa is #24 in offense efficiency, ISU is #57. That hurts to type, as the Clowns are among my most disliked teams. With his longevity, Fran is indeed Iowa's winningest coach. But before he reached that mark, he became Iowa's...

Howard had a lot more issues than just having the worst Gander team since the late 1960's. Fun read if you are not a big fan of him or his team...
