    2014 Basketball Recruiting: Interests and Offers

    Dickerson on Iowa turf for the first of many occasions.

    Is it poor defense, hot teams, or both ...

    We're an exceptional rebounding club and we're guaranteed 70, even if we have a bad night offensively. I don't mind the idea of baiting opponents towards perimeter shots. There's simply bad luck and then there's awful luck. Ours has been something beyond both of those. But letting teams rely too...

    coaches working the refs

    We're 10th in the country and 1st in the B1G by a LONGSHOT in FT Attempts. Our entire gig relies on them doing their jobs. If they don't you best believe you're going to hear about it.

    The problem

    Marble and White both need bumped up a spot. Marble at the 3, White playing 4. That's what worked so well in the first half, when Oglesby was playing the 2. And YES, PLEASE have the Tourney called tighter! Again, that Butler game was all kinds of ridiculous and I wondered if that was a point...

    2nd half problems

    LOL, you really think Fran was distracted by what he might say to the refs and it cost him the game?? They closed their eyes and hit everything they threw up. We got great looks and didn't cash in. Unlike the first half, where Marble and Oglesby were dropping bombs on them. That was the...

    What the hell is wrong with people??

    Oh heck yes this could fall under disorderly conduct if the cops decided he deserved it. If he didn't calm down by the time he was in their hands you can bet he got hit with that, and obviously public intox if the obvious was indeed that obvious.

    Quit criticizing Zach for the body slam

    Ah sheesh, if only something had happened before this to warn us that McCabe has a poor temper and doesn't care how many people are watching. Perhaps we wouldn't have been so shocked by this incident...

    2nd half problems

    Neither is his point. If there's always some fix-all against Iowa sitting in the bag why wait until halftime to pull it out?? If you're correct, this wouldn't be something complex if everybody can do it just like that, certainly nothing needing a while 20 minutes to plan out. The biggest kink in...

    The problem

    You're right on all points except the ones about Woodbury, White, McCabe and McCaffery. Please tell us why Syracuse, Wisconsin, Ohio St., Michigan St., Kansas, Kentucky and Michigan are slow, soft, lazy and misguided. After all, they went through the exact same stretches that prompted you to...

    Need to get more athletic

    White, Uthoff and Olaseni all are star, primary player material. Marble averaged 8 points a game for the first half of B1G play last year, so it's not like he's been some star that we've been relying on forever. This year he took a big step to become a consistent threat. Jok will get that...

    How can some of you defend the actions of McCabe?

    There's nothing "wrong" with this team. We hit a tough stretch where we got cold right at the time we hit a road-heavy portion of our schedule. Syracuse and every B1G upper-tier team has experienced it. Michigan was lucky theirs hit before conference play. We're cold, that's it. Luckily we have...

    How can some of you defend the actions of McCabe?

    Trust me, it's already been said. One of my posts lobbying for Uthoff to get his minutes was several paragraphs long. There's a huge problem with the McCabe situation: If he finds his game he could be extremely valuable, as a banger and as a long range guy. That's Fran's problem, he knows how...

    Let the McCabe thing go - not like Luke Witte at Minny or ...

    I wouldn't call this game physical and we didn't shy away from any contact. "Grabby" would be a better way to describe it. They tugged, pushed and swatted but they didn't do anything as far as imposing superior strength onto us. Their game was made from the 3 point line, not the paint. That...

    What the hell is wrong with people??

    1. He set foot on the court 2. He stormed onto the court 3. He charged at the coach 4. He screamed obscenities in the coach's face 5. Nobody knocked him out Aside from literally everything he did, he didn't do anything wrong.

    What the hell is wrong with people??

    I've always thought that about California. That seems to be where the crazy wagon ran into the ocean and decided to set up camp.

    Let the McCabe thing go - not like Luke Witte at Minny or ...

    The problem is the refs knew that and swallowed their whistles. They did the same thing to us in the first half of the home game.

    The problem

    It simply makes sense. What games do we have a track record of struggling in? Close games and road games. Close games are notorious for having refs swallowing their whistles, and you don't get the calls on the road. When that gets taken away from us we lose a major, major part of our offense.

    Need to get more athletic

    It's not a matter of reloading, it's a matter of utilizing your other talent. Some would say that the load Marble carries takes the ball out of the hands of some really good players. We return some pretty insane shooting percentages with White, Uthoff, Woodbury and Olaseni. We also may be...

    The problem

    I was looking at our insane lead in Free Throw Attempts and it occurred to me that a HUGE part of our game is reliant on the refs blowing the whistle. I'm not taking digs at the refs here, but you never want such a key to your team's success to be in someone else's hands. QUESTION: Do you...
