All Tom Davis did was bow out early in the Tourney. You actually got it totally backwards. It was BEFORE Tom that we were making our most noise in the post-season, and he carried the torch to barely even challenging the high seeds those 90's teams got an opportunity to face. Lute and George...

If we don't fall behind 20-6, we don't make that binge with the crowd at top energy in front of a KEY recruit. Obviously can't say for sure that's exactly why Dickerson committed like that, but we got him without him even visiting Nebraska, Arkansas or UAB. That is a feat worth noting; he was...

MVP- Roy Devyn Marble His consistency has been stunning to a degree that made everybody forget how horrible he was for literally half the conference season last year. Even when he rebounded he never showed consistent 20PPG potential until the NIT. His scoring was so shockingly consistent that...

The team that can do anything offensively against any level of competition you throw at it. How do you know when this team is slumping? It loses by 8 to the great team it's facing instead of one possession. Nobody ever actually "beat" this Iowa team, they merely survived them. This team didn't...

My theory goes as such: We're not 1 for our last 4, we're 1-1 with this game part of a completely separate sequence of games from those 3 we lost in a row. Mind flooded with reasons as to how obvious it is that losing streak was a fluke beyond what flukes were supposed to describe, so no clue...

There's a current recruit named Jordan Lyles and another one named Myles Turner. Those names have been playing balls with my memory. I don't think I would have landed on that and been confident. THANKS!!

He went to Davenport North and somehow ended up at Olaseni's school. '16 prospect I believe. First to answer is the fastest to make me feel like a moron: Stakes are high.

That is absolutely false. For one thing, actual live playing time has proven the abilities of each player. That's the most important thing, that between the B1G's insane strength the last three years and post-season tournaments against teams that were better than the NCAA field through the 10...

Hey! I made a post just like this a couple weeks ago but people complained that they couldn't understand what I was saying! lol Seriously, first people said that and then decided the point I was making was that our recruiting is bad. But search rivals, scout, ESPN and 247 if you want to find...

You know what, I think I'm going to wait to post those. I need at least one other functioning person to vehemently demand sources regarding my knowledge about college basketball fans' opinion of DIRTY BASKETBALL. Spoiler alert: The college basketball fans in the sources were actually dead the...

The 3-games after the Indiana fiasco got me all worked up now. I totally gotta state our case in a new thread. Hint: We're actually not 1-4 like we think. Those games were absolute trash and we still almost won. But yeah, time for a long post about that.

Us getting cold to close the season isn't all that relevant. It's that we haven't been hot yet that interests me most. What is our absolute worst case scenario? Normal Iowa loses by 1-2 possessions no matter who the opponent is, COLD Iowa ups that margin all the way to 7ish. Zero bad losses. We...

LOL that's right! I think Marble was given an exception because somebody posted what Vitale said about him playing in the NBA last night. Even if they enjoy alcohol they would have to get totally plastered for it to have any effect on their games. I know it seems tacky given all the losing...

We saw them do this in the Iowa City game and didn't resort to the dirty tactic, no need to think we would start now. The problem I had with the refs is that they abruptly stopped calling them on Michigan St...when they had five players with 4 fouls. McCabe was the only one who fouled out that...

Neither of them made any tweets. If it's just some loudmouth who noticed them they have no way of knowing whether or not they're drinking liquor. It's a reasonable assumption if you see someone with a flavored beverage in a bar, but 20% of the people at the Summit right now aren't drinking...

LOL, physical. What was it, a lint transfer from one jersey to the other? That's one main difference between the men's and women's game, the finesse passing and shooting abilities decides who wins and who loses tenfold over mens games. That's probably why it stays popular, it'll always be...

I don't care if MSU players were stuffing live grenades down our shorts when we boxed out for rebounds. Last night McCabe yanked a guy down while wearing an IOWA jersey during the most widely visible game of the night. Anybody who hated us hates us more, anyone who likes us likes us a little bit...

Nobody knows more about what McCabe is going through than Basabe. He received national attention for the heads he was going to rip off as a Sophomore, and it fell apart for one full season and a large portion of another. Now here he is more confident than ever, our most toolsy forward utilizing...

You'd sit a guy coming off of a freshman year where he averaged 4.3PPG 2.8AST in an already thin backcourt? After that, you pull the plug on a Senior who is one of the few long range threats? Olaseni, Uthoff and Oglesby are the only ones seeing time off the bench, correct? Uthoff, the Sophomore...

Yep, I'm just soft I guess. It has NOTHING to do with the fact recruits listened to announcers bash Iowa's representation in what was already an ugly affair. The Twitter thing was discussed earlier in the game. This was ESPN, regular ESPN. The late game. It would be downright impossible to have...
