    Howard fired at Michigan

    After last night with Indiana getting trounced by Nebraska and Woodsen getting kicked out you may still be right

    Iowa and Iowa State

    Clones took down a good Baylor team last night by double figures. I would guess they have to be considered one of the 7 or 8 teams capable of winning it all? they are really playing well The good thing about it is the fact that it can be done. There is always hope down the road

    Howard fired at Michigan

    Lets see he went to a sweet 16 won a Big Ten Championship and had a lousy year and is gone I guess the bar is just a bit higher at Michigan

    Better next year???

    Well we could be pretty good offensive team but the question is how good can you be when you don't know how to play defense? To be a great team you have to do it on both ends and McCaffrey teams have never been able to do that

    Iowa and Iowa State

    I think most on the board would agree that the Iowa program has been stuck in a long stretch of for lack of a better term mediocrity. Had some decent teams and some very good players (mostly sons of former players) without a lot of success in the tournament. Enthusiasm or lack thereof seems to...

    Hawks to NIT

    Just not an NCAA caliber team but not all bad. If they get a home game great time to take the kids as tickets will be plentiful and inexpensive

    Iowa vs ILL

    For sure May be a few empty seats with the crowd in Minneapolis

    Perkins

    Sure hope he comes back although I think earlier in year he said this would be his last at Iowa or something to that effect. In any event he would be a huge piece in a team that could be pretty good next year. I'm sure he will be a hot commodity if he enters the portal. Indiana is desperate for...

    Tournament time in Iowa

    Drake just won and will play Indiana State for championship. If they lose they have 27 wins. May be one of the teams going against Iowa for the spot in the tournament if we win tomorrow.

    Tournament time in Iowa

    Did not want to imply Iowa is not playing well as they are and if they were to play Michigan today at home they would win.. I just think they caught a very mediocre Michigan State team at the right time (they lost their next home game to Ohio State i believe) and clearly Northwestern had lost 2...

    Tournament time in Iowa

    Best time of the year in college basketball and Iowa has 3 teams in the hunt Iowa has played well the last couple weeks and put themselves in a position to get in the tournament which 2 weeks ago looked very unlikely. Big win at a struggling Michigan State and a banged up Northwestern made...

    Fran not retiring anytime soon

    Did not see it but apparently he revealed his intentions in some interview. He is not going to be fired so he will be coming back for at least another year. For those fans who have expressed optimism I hope you are right. I do look forward to Iowa basketball in the depth of an Iowa winter...

    It's Time

    Of course not Ohio State has big advantage in both The statement was made that all Big Ten teams would welcome Fran back for 15th year. That is just ridiculous the bar is higher at most Big Ten schools IMO

    It's Time

    No lets just stop Fran has missed the tournament 2 years in a row. Back in 17-18 (may be wrong year) he went to the NIT and next year was like 14-19 As far as players coming back next year Perkins is gone. I agree Freeman could be a very good player especially if he finds a 15 foot shot...

    It's Time

    I know I have not been a great McCaffrey supporter the past several years but it is not because I am not an Iowa fan. I have experienced the ups of JJ and Fred Brown, Lester and the final four and Marble and Armstrong. Also the downs of Dick Schultz and Lick. McCaffrey has proven to be a coach...

    As Dandy Don said Turn out the lights

    Fran is not going to get a chance to add to his 4 NCAA tournament wins in his 14th year. I guess they still have a shot at playing Western Michigan in the NIT in front of 2500 screaming fans. That may not even happen as the rest of he schedule is pretty tough. Bottom line is we just aren't a...
