Maybe he has a future as a student manager. They players they brought in and are bringing in next year suggest he doesnt have much of one as a B1G caliber player.

Among other events, Blake Shelton is playing at the TaxSlayer on March 26 or 27. That might take the Quad Cities out of the running for a second round game. Remember the year the women had to play an NCAA game on the road because Carver had a Guns N Roses concert booked. It was one of the...

Wisconsin made a nice NIT run last year, added Storr in the portal, and parlayed that into a return to the NCAA'S this season. And darn near stole the automatic bid.

Reminds me of 1987 when Iowa drew the winner of the Arizona/UTEP 7 vs 10 game. They got either a team playing on their home floor or a severely underseeded UTEP team. UTEP advanced and then gave Iowa all they could handle. If not for the energy UTEP had to expend surviving Arizona in OT Iowa...

Not only did ISU not get a 1 seed, they got about as tough a draw as could have been handed to them. Isn't their first round opponent TJ's former school? Then a potential second round matchup with a severely underrated and underseeded Drake team? Wisconsin got a tremendous break with the...

Oh they will get in. But it's not a slam dunk. Alford's last team had a similar record and didn't get an NIT bid. Iowa is in a group of about two dozen teams where the difference between them is basically splitting hairs. And some of those teams are going to get screwed. Minnesota being...

Show me where this team is even a lock for the NIT. In our league alone you're competing with OSU, Indiana and Minnesota. Teams like Kansas State and Providence are out there, VA Tech, Seton Hall, Washington, Boston College, Butler, Georgia, LSU, a bunch of A-10 teams, on and on.

They preferred the hockey game between LSU and and South Carolina instead.

Didn't bother them vs Wisconsin a few weeks ago. Illinois defense and effort had a lot to do with this performance. If what you're suggesting is true (and I don't think it is) that these players are nervous in front of sellout home crowds and would rather play in front of 8-9,000 in a morgue...

Illinois is a bad matchup for us. Stellar free throw shooting carried the day for us versus them last year. This year we fell behind, settled for the perimeter, and haven't gotten to the line enough.

Getting annihilated on the boards.

Another rotten egg on senior night. Iowa has had their share of those with Rutgers and Indiana a few years ago and definitely the last two years.

I'm still leery even if we beat Illinois. The B1G is probably a six bid league this year. We kicked golden opportunities away in November and December. And losing three of four to the bottom two teams in the league is a NET killer. On the positive side beating Sparty was massive. We need to...

And as good a clutch shooter as any of us have ever seen in an Iowa uniform.

How about Hoerner, Brunner, Haluska? Perhaps Adam didn't get there til his final year after the other two graduated.

Perkins could probably use those seven days. He appeared to be favoring his lower back or hip late in the game. I wonder if it occurred on the missed dunk.

Best thing about the PMac dagger was that it came in the same building we were absolutely blown to smithereens in last year and the student chants were downright vicious toward Fran and Patrick. Mac got a nice measure of revenge yesterday. I said this a week or so ago. I've been watching Iowa...

We still have a punchers chance at a double bye! Wisconsin finishes at Purdue-not easy. Nebraska seems to have an easy road however.

If it's the shot I think you're talking about that was all onions and ice water in the veins. There aren't 20 players in the country who make that shot in that situation.

Most complete team win of the season-considering how tough a place that has been to play. Not a bad time to be playing the best basketball of the season. Late in the game I was screaming for them to get the ball inside. After a foolish turnover they finally did. This game reminded me of the...
