    BIG 10 WREST TOURNEY: PREDICTIONS

    Unfortunately, the Nationals should be called the Big12/B1G tournament... I used to go to the Nationals in the 70s and they used to be really interesting...seeing all the different colleges. Now it is almost exclusively B1G and Big12 with a few colleges thrown in... Good sport ruined to make...

    B1G race to the finish; BTN.com

    I would say Beilein has done a great job this year...When teams are loaded with tremendous talent, should that coach be the coach of the year? Would not Coach K and or the NC coach get coach of the year honors every year? Isn't it a little easier to win the conference title when you have...

    Tyler Sash to receive key to Oskaloosa

    Nice gesture on the part of Oskaloosa...they should be proud of Sash. On the other hand, it is kind of funny to get the key to the city when NYC gave you the key. Of course, in Oskaloosa, everyone but everyone will know Sash, whereas in NYC only a few...Of course the few in NYC will easily...

    Will there ever be a player that dominated his sport like Wilt did?

    The difference with Wilt is that yes he was way before his years as far as 7' centers are concerned. But it is WHAT he did whle he played and the records he set regardless of the opposition. For instance, Bill Russell was 6'10" and Abdul Jabbar was over 7'0" and they did not set records like...

    Cartwright to the rescue

    I like the fact that he pulls up and takes those 6 to 8 ft shots. Most times he will have clear wide-open shots just because the defense expects him to go to the rim. The 6 to 8 ft short jumper is a lost art in college ball. If he can start hitting those shots at a high percentage he becomes...

    Hubbard still waiting for chance to play

    Too bad, I think he would really have helped us this year... What is interesting is him saying he wanted to play closer to home. Somehow that had to be in his mind before he ever signed with Iowa, thus why did he sign with Iowa? Perhaps something happened that 'caused' him to want to play...

    Are there any advantages to a pay site for Hawkeye sports?

    I was a member of Hawkeye Report since its inception. If you like recruiting, then you would really like that site. Kakert has a lot about recruiting. I'm not that interested in guys that MIGHT play for Iowa; I usually don't get too interested in recruits until they are lock. I just couldn't see...

    Nice perspective from Longhorn fan on Greg Davis

    The problem with stats is that unless you set very strict limits, the stats can mean whatever you want them to mean...

    Satisfied with coaching staff?

    Time will tell whether the hires are good, great, or not so great. I just don't see the program changing much in the offense or defense. I think Iowa will still be very predictable and vanilla. That is the only thing KF will allow, much too risky to do anything else. Our win/loss seasons are not...

    7.5 games

    Davis will not have the talent to work with that he had in Texas, nor will he ever. Most of it depends on what KF allows the guy to do. If he ties his hands and expects a KOK clone, then probably not much is going to change. If he expects Davis to use the same 10-play playbook, be entirely...

    U of Iowa Refuses to Schedule North Dakota

    I don't think it is any of Iowa's business what a school is named, nor the NCAA. The team would not be playing the mascot. Besides if ND got a tribes permission to use the mascot, who is Iowa or the NCAA to say it is not correct. Takes PC to a whole new level. Too bad... Another case of the...

    transfers

    Can Iowa build a program with transfers? Isn't that what some were making fun of ISU about. Guess ISU got the last laugh because they are going to the tournament with all those transfers and Iowa is not. I never criticized ISU for recruiting transfers or taking them. Iowa has taken transfers...

    This one is on the staff

    Probably was due to Alford again? I would imagine if you presented those questions to the coach, he would have pretty good answers to each and every question. For instance, 17 turnovers are simply too many. If they make 8 turnovers the chances of winning go up tremendously. They played...

    I know it's the big ten

    This is the key, "The thing is, Iowa has to adjust to this type of play, but they don't have too many players that are that physical." Games are rarely called the same by refs. Inconsistency has been the trademark of refs ever since I started listening to and watching Iowa bb (in the 50s)...
