    Officiating really hurt Iowa in this game.

    Officiating did not cost us the game. i agreed with the charging calls. We were trying to hard to initiate contact and get to the free throw line (probably based on how season has been called) instead of just playing. FT's, Off Reb, and some late game execution is what did us in. Very good...

    Bad performance. Disappointed

    A lot of coaches do not even teach boxing out anymore. It's more of check your man and go get the ball. I have a hard time with Big taking the ball down the floor. Get it to your guards, better handlers, quicker, and make better decisions on the other end

    Bad performance. Disappointed

    That South Dakota State team made it to back to back NCAA tournaments and the PG is now starting for the Milwaukee Bucks. They had a nice couple of years

    Bad performance. Disappointed

    No need to be concerned. This was great for us. Get tested a bit, but come off with a W. Expectations have been much higher, a lot of excitement around the program. Hopefully, this was enough of a scare to get everyone focused. Nothing is going to be given, go out and earn it

    Iowa B-Ball Exhibition Game Thread

    not a lot of flow to the game. I am thinking the entire month of November will be like this as teams adjust to the refs calling things tighter. I like it and down the road the game will be more enjoyable not watching people beat the tar out of each other

    Do you think

    11 guys is too many. Lots of variables here to decide minutes? Does white play just the 4? Both woody and Gabe play together? Both secenarios limit McCabe and Basabe minutes. Marble just playing the point? Gesel playing both guard spots? Then Clemons minutes go down. I think Jok will take...

    Black and gold blowout

    Is there a press release anywhere with info for the night. Haven't been able to locate it. We will be in town for the weekend and I am quite ready for my strawberry ice cream cone. Honestly, i am more excited for basketball on Friday night than the football on Saturday

    Player by Player Iowa Hoops Review

    I dont think every big 10 coach defends him like a big ten player. He is 1 dimensional and they play him that way. Force him to put the ball on the floor to score and he can't against Big Ten teams. So they play him dribble used all the time. Do coaches ever put their top perimeter defender...

    Not a Slump!

    These are my frustrations with JO. 1) He can not create his own shot. So teams play him dribble used all the time. Force him to put the ball on the floor and he can't. 2) He struggles coming off screens to get 3's off. IA runs him off those baseline screens and he struggles to get that shot...

    Dakich is growing on me

    I like him as well. Some nights he has a bit of a 'tude' and just cracks me up. His homer-ism of Indiana gets a bit much.

    I believe Oglesby may have just won a game for Iowa?

    So only Josh' 2 3 pointers were the only 2 possessions that mattered for the game? those 2 shots did not win the game, they may have put a nail in the coffin. Essentially ending the game, but not winning it. Gabe's 6 blocked shots may have had something to do with winning, or the other 6...

    Basabe on the Block

    I've been thinking this as well. Throw a couple of plays to get him some touches in the block, especially when we are in a scoring drought or late in the game when we need a basket. We struggle with creating our own look.

    All the hawks are contributing

    Woody is contributing more than I anticipated as a true frosh and watching him in high school. All I want out of him is defense and rebounding. When he can adjust to the speed of the game and it slows down for him he will start finishing in the offensive end.

    Oglebys' 3 Point Shot

    His shot I so slow! I can't believe how often I yell at the tv screen to get a bleeping shot off.

    Chris Street: Young or Old, A Hero to Us All (My Thoughts)

    Great job Stormin! It felt as if you were writing the story of my life at that time. Everything about it is similar to my experience. I am sure this can be said about a lot of other people who grew up Hawkeye fans in Iowa

    Do you like the motion offense we run?

    Motion offense is always a work in process. You don't "put it in one day" and go with it. A great motion has a lot of reads to it. Typically, you see improvement in motion throughout the year. Our young guys should get better with consistent practice/games reps going through cuts and reads with...

    Josh Oglesby

    when he comes off screens he needs to take 2 slow steps to get his feet under him and square his shoulders up. Great shooters can square their shoulders in the air. Josh needs approximately 8 feet of room to get a shot off

    Today's boxscore and observations

    Michigan is the real deal. They are a potential national championship team. It's not like Coppin State beat us this bad. A combined 37 minutes for Ogelsby and May is way to many. I'd rather see Ingram out there making mistakes because he has a much higher ceiling than the other 2. JO only...

    Timeout after Turnover???

    I'm torn on this. Usually, I would say look for something quick off TO. If nothing call timeout and run a great set. But, Indiana's defense is so good you are then allowing them to set up vs a scramble off a turnover

    A lack of team speed and team defense was the difference tonight

    Fran needs to hire an assistant who is an absolute defensive guru. IA half court Def is not good.
