    Would you rather have had JBO been...

    I like the idea of connor dishing assists all over the court to Jbo, Garza, JW and CJF. On paper it sounds lethal AF.

    I hate to say it, but

    Said in the other thread I think the "non profit" NCAA is very dependent on the basketball tournament revenue. They get billions from CBS for broadcasting rights. They will do everything possible to keep the tournament going. Once a player or coach ends up with coronavirus though, its all over.

    Minnesota is hot

    I don't like this matchup at all. Bracing myself for massive disappointment. A rematch vs Illinois would be so awesome that there's no way the gods allow it

    No Posters Allowed On HN Boards Due To Coronavirus Concerns

    I've been bracing myself for the NCAA tournament to be cancelled. The hilarious thing is that the NCAA is so dependent on that money and cbs shells out billions to broadcast it that I think in this case money wins out and they will have it regardless

    Ivy League Cancels Men's & Women's Basketball Tournaments

    He's basically saying we should take the threat seriously and get ahead of it to prevent it from spreading. No, that doesn't mean to panic at all. But it does mean to try and avoid community spread if possible. BTW I'm flying to vegas next week for the NCAA tournament. I can't wait and have...

    Ivy League Cancels Men's & Women's Basketball Tournaments

    Fear and panic? Absolutely not. Those people are stupid. But these administrators cancelling school and events are in charge of protecting the people at their events. I think its wild, but I understand it.

    Ivy League Cancels Men's & Women's Basketball Tournaments

    That is NOT what he said. He said its currently 3% but he THINKS once the true numbers come in it will fall to something more in line with 1%. Also this isnt the flu. We know how the flu works, we can develop fairly-effective vaccines against the flu. We also know that the flu generally...

    Ivy League Cancels Men's & Women's Basketball Tournaments

    Faucci also said that we need to get ahead of this before it spreads out of control and to take it seriously. For the record, I'm not scared of the coronavirus at all and consider the panic to be pretty ridiculous. However, I'm also not a leader in charge of the protection of citizens...

    Ivy League Cancels Men's & Women's Basketball Tournaments

    I think fear is warranted for those with elderly or sick relatives. Seems to be very bad news if they contract it. Also the main doctor on the US coronavirus task force said today that while a lot of the panic is being overstated, its still at least 10 times more deadly than the flu...

    Would you rather have had JBO been...

    I dont even think thats the starting 5 fran would go with. I think he'd do JBo CJF JW CMac Garza Basically the starting lineup he has right now except substituting JBo for Toussaint. CMac has shown capable of playing the 4-ish.

    Ahron Ulis Commits to Iowa

    I do believe the redshirts will be used. How many I have no idea. But this is a big class and Fran will want to spread them out a bit. If one or both of the murrays would accept a redshirt and then maybe one of Perkins/Uhlis then Iowa should be stocked decently for the post-garza/bohannon era.

    Would you rather have had JBO been...

    True. I'm still trying to score cheap ass tickets as a result of the panic.

    Would you rather have had JBO been...

    If everyone returns, next season will be mega-hyped and potentially magical. However there are still going to be question marks all off-season on when Nunge will be back to 100%, what Patrick's status actually is, and if JBO is completely recovered. Its too bad Iowa's next Euro trip won't be...

    Ahron Ulis Commits to Iowa

    I still think Fran might have a sneaky good recruiting class coming in. Losing out on Foster sucks butts though
