Beside the back court deficiencies, I would like to see Fran experiment with starting Jack Nunge..He's actually active on defense and can get his hands on passes and is a willing rebounder. Since none of them are good defenders I'll take an almost 7 footer who at least tries.

I was never a huge fan but this team would benefit from a point guard like Mike Gesell..the back court is going to get eaten alive all year long

They've made the tournament 7 of the last 13 years with one sweet 16 and an all time collapse away from another. Offense was terrible today but their pace caters to lower scores. If Fran and Jake could exchange ideas on offense and defense both programs would be better off. But to insist they're...

Ben Jacobson is a hell of a coach. After getting killed by Wisky and UNC they look good now. Rebound, play D, and have a quick pg. Best team in the state at the moment

I'm curious as to how many players Fran played during the meaningful minutes? Also how did the defense look from a rotation/team defense standpoint? Can't get a lot from Chicago State I know but those were my question marks for this game

I think the expectations should be the NCAA tournament, but will depend on their seed if I think they'll win a game. Next year my expectation would be 2nd weekend, but this year it will be them getting their feet wet. Even though this group I think has some individuals with a killer instinct...

With Stanley being better than expected and the run game being worse than expected I think it's time for Iowa to start going a little against the grain (for Iowa) and start passing to open up the run. I think BF started to do that a little last game, and it's not like he has to start calling...

Not surprising at all, but still a good get and will be a great fit in Fran's system. In this case people will have to go more off his AAU highlights than high school highlights. I've seen West play multiple times, and they're excellent defensively but the offense/pace they run at sets the...

I don't see us stopping them on defense so I don't think it'll be like the Michigan game last year. Penn St. is much more talented offensively than Michigan was, and our defense has looked suspect/too inconsistent at best the last couple games. I do think we can score on them though but we need...

I'm not saying don't play the other D ends but I'd like to see role expand as the season goes on, as far as positions you can pick up on quickly I think you could argue DE is the easiest. We'll need him on more than 3rd down when we play the conference schedule...it would be extremely...

I understand he's a true freshman and probably doesn't have a full grasp of his responsibilities on every situation but that dude wreaks havoc when he's in there. I like our d line but I'd like to see AJE play more on 1st and 2nd down, he seems like he's physically gifted enough to hold off...
