Looks like he's going to have knee surgery. Terrible news for IU and Crean's future. http://iuhoosiers.com/news/2016/1/5/MBB_0105160456.aspx

It was a great game from Woody and all our frontcourt players. Worked like hell to deny the ball from getting inside. There was also really good weakside support from the guards so Purdue couldn't lob the ball into their bigs. It was a really well designed defensive gameplan and the players...

Re: Quick glance at Big Ten schedule again, after these 2 wins I could see Iowa now a If Iowa wants to win the B1G, they can only afford at most 4 losses. Michigan State will be there with Valentine and no one it seems can freaking beat Maryland. We're going to have to win at least one game on...

What a comeback! Huge props to everybody that played their hearts out in the 2nd half. In the first half, I thought that we played like we were afraid of their big men defensively. We would beat their guards off the dribble only to stop going and let their guards recover which lead to bad...

Whenever there's a contrast in style the game is generally won by the team that dictates the style of play. The key matchup in this game is Swanigan vs Uthoff. Swanigan likes to step outside, but that shouldn't bother Jarrod as he's used to guarding outside before. Swanigan is not used to...

Oh I'm not opposed to criticism just the bad ones. I also like how I acknowledged one of his weaknesses and somehow get called a homer. I though Uthoff was going to struggle in this game because of Clark/Bess for MSU and I thought Iowa would lose. It was a great performance by the rest of the...

Uthoff is not a leader. Quit criticizing players for not being something they will never be. Jarrod struggles with defenders who move their feet and are physical. Not every team is built like MSU where they have players who can do that.

I thought Clemmons was a monster. There were a couple of times when the MSU players got the ball where I already started looking up to see if the shot went in, but Clemmons closed the gap so quickly every time. He kept his man in front of him and played possessed defensively.

It was pretty obvious from the first game on that Baer is a quick thinker and knows where he needs to be and what to do. Besides his skill, what separates him from other walkons is that he believes he should be out there with the scholarship guys. He's not afraid to make a play. I don't think...

Cook has said that the Iowa coaches have emphasized that he expand his shooting range for next year. If he or Wagner can start knocking down at least some mid range jumpers then I am behind this lineup 1000%. If that doesn't happen one of our shooters would need to be put in there.

Every college basketball team has weaknesses. Iowa is no different. Folks will probably do what they did before last year and this year. They will hype up what every single opponent we play brings back. It's a defense mechanism to guard against getting angry after we lose at some point in the...

Yes he can, he is probably our best player at getting to the rim. Might not always be able to finish cuz he's smallish but he can get there.

I don't remember the exact quote, but I do remember that Doc Rivers had something to say about coaching in the last minute one time. The coach can draw up any great play he wants, but it doesn't matter if the players don't believe in themselves, the play, or the coach... the play won't work.

After ISU pulled to within 1, Mike went 2-3 with 2 free throws plus an assist to put us up 8... When you're trying to kill time you're going to have your point guard hold the ball a little while... Iowa ran some downscreen action with Jok and Uthoff involved late. Jok missed one shot and made...

MSU - L, @Pur - L, Neb - W, @MSU - L, Mich - W, @Rut - W, Pur - W, @Mary - W, NW - W, PSU - W, @Ill - L, @IU - W, Minn - W, @ PSU - L, Wis - W, @OSU - L, IU - W, Mich - W (12 - 6) 21 - 9 Best wins @ Maryland Purdue @ IU I think this should be enough to make it in comfortably as a 6-8 seed.

I've always been skeptical of Peter, but he has finally earned 100% of my trust. I don't know if the eye poke effected him at all late but he was huge in the beginning of the 2nd half.

Ok so they were booing the officials for doing what they're told to do. Seems about right.

Don't really care that they stormed the court afterwards. The glory of youth and all. Could've done without the booing/foul language towards an injured player tho.

After rewatching the game a 2nd time Starters: Both Mike and Sapp had moments where they were able to get into the teeth of the defense. They made some good plays, but also made errant plays because they got flustered,picked up their dribble, etc. Jok still goes through his lazy moments...

Yep, we all definitely have low expectations. Or it could be that the season is long and everything is still in front of the team.
