I'm not so sure Hoiberg to Nebraska is the done deal everyone thinks it is. Arkansas has better fan support and would be an easier draw for recruits than Lincoln where fans live for football 24/7/365 and basketball plays 2nd fiddle by alot. If Father Fred wanted to open up his incoming...

Likeability has never been a weakness of Miles. The man wears red and white argyle sweaters on the sideline for crying out loud. What we are seeing is someone who is secure in the job they have done. Nebraska has never won an NCAA tournament game and has and always will be in the shadow of...

I think we could lose Dailey, Cook, and Pemsl. Dailey as a transfer out for more playing time, Cook to play for pay somewhere or as a grad transfer depending on where he is with his degree, and Pemsl as a transfer out for a fresh start and more playing time. Dailey isn't going to get time at...

Alot left on the table this season. 23-12 when they started 20-5. That cannot be viewed as anything other than a disappointment.

It stinks at one position: PG. We have a solid front court and we have plenty of 2's but not one legit PG on this roster. 9 years and we haven't had one PG on this team who can run the show on offense, drive to the basket, or serve as a catalyst on defense. I hope Touissant is that guy but...

Yeah but they went 5-3 against Texas Tech, Kansas, and Kansas State, the three best teams in the Big 12. Iowa went 1-4 against Michigan State, Michigan, and Purdue and the losses were positively dreadful. Argue conference strength an head to head all you want, but one team did well against the...

Iowa likes to get out in transition and when it plays in half court it likes to get good spacing. Code for: Finesse. We are not built to be all that physical and if this game gets that way (typically does with Cincinnati) expect a similar result to the Michigan State games. If we don't make...

What are the programs Jans has been developing? Jans did not build the NMSU program. That has always been a great program. Jans' predecessor Paul Weir left for New Mexico and has yet to duplicate the one great season he had at NMSU. Marvin Menzies was just fired by UNLV three years after...

Cinci smokes Iowa. They will push Iowa off the 3 pt line and will have their best shooting game of the year...like everyone else has done against Iowa this year.

ISU plays better than Iowa every year when it counts most...in March. What is this 4 conference tournament titles now in 10 years for ISU? Iowa has 2 BTT wins TOTAL in 10 years. Stop griping about the tournament seeding. Both programs are where they deserve to be, ISU maybe got the shaft...

This season is vintage Fran. Hopes get raised by getting some quality non conference wins, being ranked in the middle of the season, but then comes the grind of late season and Iowa goes .500 or worse down the stretch. Exit early in BTT, get an 8-10 seed in NCAA tourney with a bad match-up in...

Glad to see about 7 years of irrelevance hasn't taken away that signature class Whini fans are known for showing.

It was a great win and I feel good for the players but the OP is correct. 9 years in and the ceiling certainly has been reached somewhere within those 9 years (certainly a separate debate as to excactly where that is). You aren't going to be average for 9 years and then all of a sudden take a...

Despite the putrid basketball of late Iowa will most likely be in the tournament. The only thing that might knock them out is Illinois kicking their ass tonight. Since Rutgers already did it in Iowa City this scenario is not out of the question. Also can't afford more bids being stolen by bad...

Iowa blew a 16 point lead in the 2nd half against Nebraska, that's a textbook choke job. There's no sugarcoating it, no rationalizing it. You can have stats paint a rosy picture if you want but in the end, it was a choke job.

Then stop reading them.

I thought that earlier in the season. But we lose Baer, we return the same roster otherwise that collapsed this season, and we still do not have a proven B1G PG on this team (not drawing any conclusions about Touissant until I see him play a full season). The upper classmen this year have won...

The only player we lost because of a coaching change that would come close to wishing we could have had for a couple more years was Tyler Smith. But he would have stayed to play with glorified high school players plus Gatens and Cole. He made the right decision.

And Jake Kelly was hardly a world beater when he went to Indiana State. Acceptable loss.

Those of you worried about Fran's kids and Joe Touissant: Connor: 2 years, 4.4 ppg, 20% from distance, less than 1 steal per game, 1.5 rpg Patrick: Hasn't arrived on campus yet Touissant: Hasn't arrived on campus yet Why are any of you worried about three players, 2 of which haven't even...
