Why do people think we have so much depth at his position. He is a center, the only other centers we have are Cole, a SR next year, and Cougs who really has shown a lot more from 3 than in the paint. From everything I have heard, Larson and Archie are forwards, and McCabe will definitely be a...

This group may still make some kind of post season- great coaching job by Bluder. I've never been a big fan of her recruiting; but it has really improved in the last 2 years. If she can get Greg Stoke's daughter; lady hawks will be a force to contend with.

Jon seems to be a pretty level headed objective guy to me. I see improvement in this team, and last night was probably best effort in Lick's 3 years. But, objectively, we are still 9th/10th place with a 25% winning percentage in B10, and in the worst 3 year stretch in Iowa BB history. We will be...

Spank, do you mean .500 overall or in B10. To me, .500 overall should never be acceptable for a major conference team with the patsies played in non conference. Now .500 in the B10 would totally change my opinion of Lick's ability to succeed at Iowa.

I think the star ratings for BB are pretty accurate- far more than FB because of the exposure to the players playing against each other in AAU and less impotance to the additional physical development you see with college FB players. The only team that I can remember making the final 4 without...

Some might ask IF Lick has a recruiting strategy?

If it is Lick's intention to not play Tucker the rest of the season; that is in essence showing him the door. In that case a real disservice to Tucke and the team; he should have just booted him, and let him find a new start. And at the same time bring in a point guard for next year while a lot...

Id trade for either one of those guys; they actually win games.

I've followed Iowa BB since the 50's. For the almost all of that period(other than a few Sharm/ Schultz years); the program has always been relevant until the last 3 years. Even Alford kept us relevant despite being mediocre because of the B10 tornament wins and his status as a famous player...

Agree with Freddy; Cole is clearly a leader on this team, and real leaders don't make excuses.

If I were Barta, this has to be my major concern. The thing that I would really fear is that with Lick's lack of real chaisma/excitement and the style of play; I think it is going to take a lot more than a middle of the pack B10 performance to get the fan base back. I think we'll have to see a...

I think there are still a lot of fans that care; but there are a lot who no longer pay much attention, or don't care nearly as much. So, I would say Deace is fairly accurate with his opinion.

I agree taht NW is really in our craw in both FB and BB; would love to beat them. But, it is going to be tough. They are a good team, would be higher in standings if they adn't played such a tough 1st half schedule in B10. They really looked good this weekend.

Why does this always go back to Alford who is long gone? He was pretty average, but it's pretty easy to name some positive things he did in his 8 years; how about these 3 off top of my head, probably could come up with several more if I spent 2 minutes thinking about it: !. Beat the #1 team in...

I think we have beeb playing real hard on defense for the last several games- that, to me, is the reason for improvement.

I am not high on Lick's ability to turn this around; but I don't think next year's class is suspect, it's pretty good. Problem is that other than Michigan; everyone else in the league has virtually all their top players back and/or great classes coming in. We could be a lot better next year, and...

The only positve is the road unis- they are great. otherwise being a 3 year bottom feeder really sucks.

Agree. Jon; those were the days. The old barn was awful, but great. Much better location for students to get to than Carver when it's 10 below. There was excitement, noise and intimidation there. God, we had more stud players then -Freddy, JJ, Super Sam, Pervall, Peeples, Calabria, The Stick...

i think the Lauterbur/ Lick analsis is right on. Not sure whhich one could put me to sleep faster. Big difference though between Bump and Barta in experience and balls.

Spank-we are in year 3 and you say this system needs experience? College players only get 4 years last time I checked(and if they are good, less than that). This appears to be a very long road to get from horrible to mediocre.
