    All in all, I thought the redshirt freshman played pretty well in his first collegiate start in a very hostile environment.

    Is CC funding WBB NIL?

    Saw the below on Facebook posted under a group called WNBA Today: THE NIL GAME IS OVER: CAITLIN CLARK IS REPORTEDLY PULLING UP TO RECRUITS' LIVING ROOMS AND OUTBIDDING BLUE BLOODS, MAKING IOWA THE NEW COLLEGE BASKETBALL MONSTER. Forget traditional recruiting pitches; imagine the impossible...

    Don't know how valid this is but it's out there in the matrix: https://www.sportfiles2.com/2025/10/14/5-star-addison-bjorn-formally-selects-iowa/

    Is CC funding WBB NIL?

    Read an article online suggesting that Caitlin has been 'anonymously' funding at least some of the WBB NIL, helping us go after these 5-star recruits. It seems lately that half the stuff I read online is AI generated where you can only believe about half of what you read. Still, this is a...

    Minnesota vs #25 Nebraska in FOX

    I found myself rooting for both of them to lose........... Both teams were playing hard early, they both wanted it, but Minny held home field and eventually started pulling away.

    Predict your starting 5 for the starting game

    I looked and didn't see anyone I knew on their roster.

    Predict your starting 5 for the starting game

    Didn't one of last year's Hawks end up at St Louis?

    Iowa basketball frosh stayed loyal despite blue bloods’ pursuit

    Hard to imagine a 17-year-old being is this situation.

    Predict your starting 5 for the starting game

    Hard to argue with your 5. Stirtz, Hausen and Folgueiras seem like locks. I agree Manyawu over Jirak at the 5 although I'd like a 5 taller than 6'8". A case can be made for Koch although I'm intrigued about the positive press Trey Thompson is getting. Seeing the wings on this team develop...

    Keegan Murray...

    Most of the players in the W are really jealous of CC and her endorsement money. They want some. CC has put fans in the stands, increased TV ratings, she has generated a lot of cash and good will for the W. I hope they get a good CBA that works well for everyone.

    Keegan Murray...

    It will be interesting to see what happens with Kris Murray next when it's extension time for him. He hasn't had the success his twin has had but he's still in the Portland rotation. Gets about 10-15 minutes/game and he never seems to fill up the stat sheet. There must be something about him...

    Keegan Murray...

    The W just needs to be careful and not get ahead of itself. In the beginning there were lots of W teams and they were going to be on equal terms with the men. Problem was revenue wouldn't support it and many of the teams went belly uup. I still can't believe Houston won 4 straight W titles and...

    Keegan Murray...

    Good for Keegan! I'm surprised to see him get his, I thought his game had gone a bit stale last year. But the Kings evidently like what they see in him so more power to him. I see Russell Westbrook has joined the Kings. They want to win in the worst way.

    Hecklinski at Bucky

    I'd think Hecklinski is Ruggiero's guy, wonder if that makes any difference. Ruggiero did bring him along from Wake Forest. I'm always wishing our backups got more snaps than they do. I was wishing they would pull Gronkowski earlier than they did. I understand the need for snaps but why take a...
