    Not Sure What To Think Of This Team--Yet

    Yeah, this rhetoric needs to end. Uthoff B1G and Power 5 ranks Field Goal attempts per game T-2nd in B1G, T-5th in P5. Games with most field goal attempts Notre Dame - 16 West Illinois - 16 Dayton - 15 Wichita St - 15 Florida St - 14 Against Dayton, we had the ball with a chance to win and...

    Thoughts on where program is heading?

    If you have stability and the right coach in place then yes I do believe Iowa should make the tournament every year in the next 10 sans 1-3. That's the commonality between the schools you listed. Wisconsin - Ryan MSU - Izzo OSU - Matta Purdue - Painter So if Fran can stay here for the next...

    Thoughts on where program is heading?

    The goal for this year is to compete for a B1G title and try and get to the second weekend in the NCAA tournament. The goal every year for this program is to make the tournament. We might miss the tournament 1-3 times in the next 10 years or so but it's a watered down tournament. There are no...

    Maryland

    All I'm seeing are visions of Jake Layman standing in corners and Diamond Stone impersonating a statue. A one dimensional offense of Melo Trimble doing absolutely everything did them no good last year against us. They're a lot of road games I don't think we can win and this ain't one.

    Bad Defense

    For the most part the defense was mostly what I thought it'd be in the Dayton game that I saw and rewatched. There seemed to be a lot of players checking out defensively at the 3/4 positions sans Baer. Granted I saw most of this in the first couple of games as well, but I figured I might see a...

    We are back.....again

    Great game. It's going to be fun to see the team grow and continue to rise in the B1G. Starters were dominant tonight. Our backcourt struggled at time last year and it's nice to see players like Gesell/Jok/Clemmons starting to put the pieces together. I thought Gesell had a great floor game...

    Like Wagner/Fleming, not so high on Ellingson/Baer

    You could tell from interviews with Fleming that he wanted to prove that he could be more than just a shooter. These first two games he's played out of control and made poor decisions when to attack/pass even when there was an easy play to be made. He's been doing too much gambling on defense as...

    Hawkeyes Top Gardner-Webb in Season Opener

    Don't really care that Baer is a walkon... the dude has cemented himself in the rotation for me. I would not flinch one bit if Fran names Baer the starter in Jok's absence. Iowa's frontline has been full of long,lean players the last couple of years. It's nice to now have a player like Wagner...

    Small Ball

    I can't say that I know the situation fully and it's probably a little unfair to say anything without inside info, but I'm a little mad at Fran for how he treated not just Uhl, but all the other newcomers in this game. I'm a huge believer that most players at this level and beyond improve some...

    Small Ball

    I actually agree with your idea of putting Jones out there in place of Woody if you're going to play small ball. Jones might struggle defending, but at the very least when your lineup is on the floor there is something I can point to that will be tough for opponents to play against. That team...

    Small Ball

    I will state off the bat that I did not go to the game tonight. I've only seen the box score. This game doesn't change what our players are capable of... this team still has every opportunity to play big games in March. At first glance the stats on both sides seemed to be relatively even, but...

    Conference predictions

    1. Wisconsin - Nigel Hayes is life 2. Michigan State - Can Eron Harris produce like Trice did down the stretch? 3. Michigan - Getting their guards back is huge. Size inside is a question. 4. Maryland - There's only 1 ball.... Turgeon has to show that he can handle having more than 1 or 2 mouths...

    Where do you think Iowa will be ranked in the first CFP rankings?

    I can't speak for everyone here obviously, but I didn't really follow these committee rankings at all throughout last year because there was no reason to. Here's some info on how the committee votes and separates teams. http://www.collegefootballplayoff.com/selection-committee-protocol When...

    My thoughts from last night

    Went to the game last night. There were good and bad moments, but that's to be expected at this point. I don't think I saw much outside of 1 or 2 things that I wouldn't have expected going in. Some things to note Fleming- Looked the most comfortable of the newcomers on the floor offensively...

    Dom Uhl to backup the 5?

    This is weirdly a decision that I actually kind of agree with. It's not like this is a surprise.... somebody was going to have to play out of position at the five to spell Woody. With extreme exceptions (Purdue) notwithstanding, most teams that we play don't have skilled big men coming off...

    Tyler Cook Trims List to 6

    It's a possibility certainly. He'll be competing with Williams mainly for that spot. I wouldn't be opposed to starting both together depending on how things work out. With Woody leaving we needed more help in the front court.

    Tyler Cook Trims List to 6

    And Kriener. If/when Tyler commits, there will be no more scholarships for this class. There's 1 scholarship remaining for the next two classes with Joe Wieskamp and Connor McCaffrey already on board.
