I almost never criticize schedules. With the team he has next year I just dont get why Fran wouldnt be beating down doors to get into an early season showcase tournament. Thats all I went down to the Battle 4 Atlantis when Iowa was there. It was one of my top all-time sports experiences. It...

theres no sports going on. Im just hanging out, drinking heavily, and cutting my self slowly. miss you boo

It would really get college bball back to coaching and developing players rather than who can get the most one and dones. I think you'd see schools like Villanova and Gonzaga really excel while schools like Kentucky and Arizona really start to tank.

Right but if you went with the baseball model where college players had to stay for 3 years then the talent would likely thin out more as the top tier athletes went to other avenues (G League, overseas, etc). So the top high school studs wouldnt go to college and the 3-4 star guys that...

the NCAA will NEVER touch Coach K or Duke. Never. The biggest joke about NCAA basketball is that the NCAA profits from the NCAA tournament. So why the hell would the NCAA murder their primary revenue stream? They wouldnt. IMO if a "non-profit" pulls in over a billion dollars a year on a...

At first I thought maybe 3 players would redshirt but now I'm not so sure. Nunge is coming off an ACL tear and that can be a slow and complicated recovery. Patrick is coming off a really strange year. I assume Fran will start with JBo/CJ/Connor/Wieskamp/Garza and thats going to be a lethal...

Not to keep dwelling on this Rob, but was it Fran's decision not to do an exempt tournament this year or did most of them already fill up and Iowa was left out in the cold? Just trying to understand what happened here.

Because right now Iowa is the ONLY big ten team not involved in an exempt tournament. It's really strange. I'm not worried about the resume or anything of the sort. It's more about the exposure for the team being in a nationally televised tournament.

Hopefully Joe just had a bit of a sophomore slump. Still had a great year just didn't meet expectations.

I don't understand. Fran likely has his best team ever and will come into the season with a ton of hype....and instead of going to some destination tournament he wants to host Savannah state, Mercer and the citadel?

If only Melo Trimble had taken that advice o_O

Yes its dumb. Very dumb. However it also gives a decent barometer of where the national pundits think Iowa sits right now. Jerry Palm has Iowa as a 2-seed in the midwest. I'd assume being a 2 seed in the midwest over Kansas and Sparty might mean Iowa is the top 2 seed (again..means nothing...

Guess I don't really have a problem with this assuming they allowed the seniors to complete their academic semester this spring. It sorta sucks for the students, but not many college athletes go pro anyway. Not to mention the schools have already committed to the next incoming class of...

Not a brag but I've been calling this since about November. With garzas massive flex on the basketball world the writing was on the wall for Pemsl. He'd just be much better served at UNI or an MVC type school He showed some flashes but the injuries just kept him down. It's unfortunate but it...

Makes me puke to say it but ISU is probably the ideal fit for him. That team has an empty ass roster right now.

Lets at least all be glad that Iowa State was knocked out of the Big 12 tournament before it was cancelled. That somehow makes it all better.

yeah i dont get it...so Iowa wont end up winning the national title in wrestling? Pretty fucked up.

This is officially rock bottom

Thing is I dont see how you can postpone the NCAA tournament. All those locations have to be planned out and reserved. Not to mention the students graduate soon. Also, the NBA draft is in June and the combine is in May.

Charles Barkley and Dick Vitale have both called on the NCAA to cancel the tournament. Me thinks its only a matter of time.
