Who cares? May played more meaningful minutes. Some guys respond better to coming off the bench. I assume Fran is trying to build JO's confidence by starting him. It really makes no difference who starts as long as you get the group on the floor playing the best. Basabe and May are great...

He is f"ing horrible....Indiana was in the penalty 7:30 minutes into the 1st half...Iowa played well enough to keep it close but every call went against them....Woodbury will be a pretty good player if the refs ever give him a little bit of respect...touch fouls bs

There have been several threads critical of the coaching staff throughout the season....the switch to zone was a huge part of the comeback today and their lineup adjustments in the 2nd half were exactly what the Hawks needed to pull away. The lineup of Gesell, Marble, May, White/McCabe and...

Clemmons' man to man defense is pretty solid and he is worth having on the floor at times just for that aspect of his game....Iowa played a lot of zone today and I think the lineup with Gesell, Marble and May is more effective in the zone....Clemmons' offensive game needs work but his ball...

I agree. Starting 2 freshman guards in the Big Ten this year is going to be tough. They will be better players because of it but some of their decisions are maddening. Gesell had 3 terrible turnovers that I can think of where it lead directly to a dunk for MSU. Two of them should have been...

Marble has got to make some shots.....he is absolutely not ready for the next level after watching a half of bball like we just saw. Oladipo makes Marble look so slow and even uncoordinated. Marble needs to stay aggressive and keep getting to the line. White, Basabe and Woodbury have been...

Maybe Carl Davis should play pg he's taller than Gesell by 2" and outweighs him by 140 lbs

No offense but I thought the exact same thing about gesell when Iowa played VTech and Wich St. Freshman pg playing against experienced and athletic guards. Both are going to get better as they gain confidence. I guarantee Paige is doing something in practice that RW likes or he wouldn't be...

This....Gatens' release got much quicker as a senior and he looked much more comfortable working without the ball as a senior. JO will be fine; the nice thing is Iowa is more balanced right now than they were with about any team Gatens ever played for.

He was doubled every time he got the ball and he passed the ball well out of it and Iowa got some easy baskets. He has been better than what I expected this early in the season. (especially free throws) A few observations I have made thus far: Eric May is still lost on the court and a...

They lost to lipscomb by 4 and north carolina by 17. They beat depaul by 12. I agree with sports talent's prediction.

9 may not be the magic number but the Big Ten definitely gets 6 teams in the dance this year and maybe 7. Indiana, Mich, Mich St, Ohio St are definites and then I say Minnesota, Wisconsin, Purdue and Iowa will all have a chance to get in. I think .500 in the toughest conference this year will...

As long as Iowa doesn't lose any of those "easy" non-con games, it shouldn't matter. Iowa's conference schedule is tough enough that at the end of the year their SOS will be pretty solid. If Iowa can go 9-9 in conference and take care of the non-con schedule they will be dancing no, no...

It's the job of the coaches to adapt to their players and put them in the best position to win. If JVB is not executing their game plan because it doesn't fit his particular skill set, they need to make that adjustment and put him in a position to succeed. This far into the season and it's...

My point was that what the announcers were saying holds true in the NFL and even moreso in college because the clock stops on first downs. NFL teams can control the clock somewhat on offense but college teams can moreso. It was a poor decision to not use the timeouts, but again I don't think...

The announcers were talking about this last night on Sunday night football. One of them agreed that it is best to use them on defense because otherwise you have no control over the clock. At least on offense you can somewhat control the clock and the tempo. I agree 100% that you cannot sit by...

There were 3 personal foul calls that were all bs. College football has now become college bball where flopping dictates the outcome of games. yes, Iowa a 17 pt favorite but C. Mich was "granted" 3 first downs on bogus calls. Watch the game again and tell me those are personal fouls...

He's got a nice looking shot but he shot 37.3% as a junior from 3 pt range. He is not athletic by Big Ten standards. He could be another Glen Worley but Worley was bigger and a better defender (even though he fouled a ton). I guess I was just hoping that Fran would have more of a "sure...

I'd like to hear Jeff's thoughts on the situation. Of course he isn't going to throw his own player under the bus, but I'm curious if Fran and Jeff have really talked about Jok. ISU withdrew their offer I believe based on what they have seen since his injuries. I'm not sold that he will ever...

Davis was getting his a$$ kicked all over the field. The only time he got into the backfield was because NIU designed it that way. I watched the replay and he was consistently pushed back off the los.
