Let's remember the situation after the game as well as going into it. This one has the potential to be ugly for the Hawks. We're going to need some help - most likely from the bench with someone getting hot and taking on a larger role.

I still feel good about this team and it's potential. As usual we have our typical overreaction after a loss, but there are definitely some things we need to work on to get better and areas where guys have stepped up. Getting the ball off the defensive boards continues to be a work in...

Pump him full of Gatorade and banana's and let's hope he's ready tomorrow.

Did not watch the game. What happened to Dev?

Bo, No transfer. We don't want YOU at Iowa.

Hesse reportedly gave a verbal Monday.

Ball security will determine the outcome........as is almost always the case in a pick 'em game. Really cold weather is an unknown for both teams. A couple of fumbles in the wrong place on the field and you can stick a fork in either team.

From the game tonight it looks like McGary doesn't work to post up and doesn't demand the ball. It also looks like there isn't any emphasis on trying to get him established or get the ball to him. With the new rules I think he can be a force and that the coach will work on getting him the...

I'm not ready to jump off a ledge, but it does raise a red flag when your three has more then double the turnovers of anyone else on the team. If it was Jok or JU we'd say he's just adjusting to college game. AW is a returning 2 year starter. He's been killing teams in every other area but...

Aaron has had a great start to the year shooting 71% from the field to lead the team, 85% from the line and is leading the team in rebounding. One stat that did blow my mind was that he's had 10 turnovers - 6 more than several Hawks who are next in line with 4. I think we know what we get from...

I think I'd rather have Paine and Dawson if I could only have two, but my point was we have great depth and depending on how the fouls play out this year we could wind up with the most production out of the forward spots of any team. I understand your concern about JU's strength, but he strikes...

Much like last year when we needed to have a softer schedule early to build some confidence in Mike, Woody and Sappy I think there's some positives in getting Jok some extra minutes, allowing Mike to come back at a slower pace, getting JU worked into the closing group before a game is on the...

Educate me Jonny. What Big Ten teams have the forward depth the Hawks do. Help me out with the names of the forwards you're thinking of. Thanks. Just using your ranking I'm wondering who the 4th forwards are for these teams that are more proven and better than McCabe. I'm guessing you...

I watch a lot of basketball, but without doing any research I have to believe that our depth at forward is right at the top. White, Uthoff, McCabe, and Basabe have all shown that they can play at a high level. The amount of production and the different looks and skill sets that we can throw...

Depends on what you consider fair compensation for all the crap he takes on internet boards. ;) Do we deduct the $500K donation he just made to the university?

Woody's help defense is light years ahead of Gabe's. IMO one of the big changes in the Hawks going from very poor to pretty darn good last year was that Woody was there to help out when the guards got beat off the dribble and was still able to get back to his man without giving up a layup or a...

There's something to be said for shot selection shooter or not. The problem with Jok IMO at free throw time is turnovers at this point in his career. I don't think he's strong enough with the ball yet and is not disciplined enough with his passing to have him on the court at crunch time. He's...

In a word, no.

Fran stuck with the man to man in the first half to have a teaching tool IMO. I expect us to zone a lot of the time this year and show more of the 3/4 token press as we get into the league. There's plenty of work to do in our man to man and Fran has plenty of tape to teach from now. Shooting...

Utoff will help in the half court game. It won't cure all our ills, but we're better off this year then last.
