I agree about Perkins. TP was a good player, easy guy to cheer, but very inconsistent down the stretch. Dix is a much better shooter and that will obvious next season. You have to wonder if Riley sticks around. Riley turning out to have improved significantly and getting real time next...

I share your optimism. TP and Ben had some big moments but were inconsistent. PMcC's absence is, well, it is productive. Better players (Pr, Koch) will take up that time. Dasonte means we have to reverse the priority and really do need to find a good combo guard in the portal.

How do you know he has done nothing?

Well the post play can be well handled by this season's freshman of the year. Py will be around the top scorer in the Big Ten. Ladji and the Tadjo (sp) guy are physical rebounders. Harding is going to become a legend. Dix is likely a volume scorer with more time and more shots. Riley and...

We kind of eecked into a ten seed in 2019, and then beat the 7 seed before losing to #2 by only 6 points in OT. That is really 5 qualifying results consecutively. Haven't seen that for more than 40 years, and a BTT Champ, which had not been seen for 16 years when that happened. Replace a...

Fran has probably 4 more years at Iowa. Outstanding recruiting classes for 3 consecutive years. I think he either goes when the Freeman/Harding/Pr and Ladji or maybe the next year

You'd have to think TP and Py get a lot more NIL love than PMcC. Py's ceiling is the first round so he should probably get a big bump in the off season.

The world has changed. KF needs to allow more public access and embrace more opportunities to expose Iowans to the team. Maybe a couple of days before the spring "open scrimmage", they could bus up to DSM and go through a scrimmage of some sort. That would sell out and generate a ton of local...

You fight with the weapons that you have. Somewhere in my basement there's a picture of a German soldier stabbed dead by the screw on the end of a mannequin's leg at Stalingrad.

Newt Gingrich is a great alternative history writer. Although I am a political fan of Newt's I'd never read anything non-political. Astounded that his alternative history novels would be so fascinating. Then I remembered he was a history professor before politics. His book on Pearl Harbor...

I almost said that. Since almost every culture has a flood story I think our ancestors might have had the good fortune to live in high ground or far away from water.

Where do you think Py will not be on the team next season? He's not going anywhere until he's pretty confident he's a first-round pick. That jump into the first round would probably require numbers more like Keegan Murray. I'm thinking Py is going to be like a 22/8/5. Love to see Py explode...

Well said (in bold). I think the guy on the video is conflating any common ancestors, which of course is thousands of generations of regression to the fourth power and likely to bring at least everyone from the Eurasian land mass within the range of at least one common ancestor, and all living...

The officiating will be awful but the boys can beat Illini. Really nice to see Py catch fire and drop about 30 on the Illini. Love the idea of seeing the boys in the BTT finals. That opens the door for a big Hawkeye invitation.

Just curious, what didn't you like about Conquering Tide? Toll can be a little tedious. Greatest irony of the war, the battleships that weren't destroyed at Pearl were raised, rebuilt and won the last battleship battle in history.

The CC phenomenon vs. the men reflect two facts. First-CC is really unparalleled in the history of WBB. Most of the credit goes to CC's simple greatness. However, MBB has had much more athletic parity for a much longer period of time. Notwithstanding, I am shocked that Roy or Dev Marble, Big...

If you like the Pacific naval war, a couple of books. Eagle Against the Sun, Ronald Spector and Neptune's Inferno, James Hornfischer. My two latest WW2 reads and they are great.

Thanks guys. Not a coffee drinker, just once. I've found this conversation every interesting.

I think Brock is much faster and quicker than Jordan Bo. He might get abused by taller guards 'cuz staying in front of them isn't all that helpful when the guy with the ball can just pound BH into the post and shoot over him. Owen is going to be a great shot blocker-he's well on his way...
