    Clowns also tanking...make you feel any better?

    Their NET ratings remain higher bc they aren’t getting blown out. Losing at home to a top 10 team by 8 isn’t the same as losing by 15 to Rutgers at home.

    This program is kind of a disaster....

    I’ve been a Fran supporter since the beginning but I’m afraid this is all we will ever get from his teams. We have reached peak Fran. Why should we expect any more after 9 years? He refuses to make necessary adjustments or wholesale changes to his system. His teams don’t play complimentary...

    Fran All Time Starting 5

    It’s an exercise in economics/value. A White is the best all around player FMac has had and the other PF options have glaring weaknesses so he’s worth $5. Gatens with his D, size and elite shooting is a steal at $3. BC led the B1G is assist his Jr year and is one of the better defenders at the 1...

    Cartwright Gatens Wieskamp A White J Cole That’s a team that would defend and rebound, has 2 elite shooters, and 2 guards and a SF that can penetrate.

    *THE Iowa Hawkeyes vs Ohio $tate Buckeyes Official Game Thread*

    OSU makes 2 desperation late shot clock 3s, Cook can’t make a 3 foot shot, Cook w an awful TO that led to one of the worst plays in Baer’s career, JBo missed 2 open transition 3s (one led to a 3 for OSU), Iowa is 2/3 at the line AND only down 3 at half. Hawks by 9.

    Need to get JBo shooting much earlier in games

    JBo is the best w the lights the brightest. He garners so much attention and defensive energy earlier in games that it makes it hard for him to even get shots up. Later in games the defenders are tired. That may give him that little bit of extra space.

    Nunge Update

    Kid is a shot blocker. He had a couple blocks on jumpers last year that reminded me of Uthoff.

    Nunge Update

    If TC decides (likely) to go pro, I could see Nunge sliding into his spot. 5 guys that can spot up a 3 with 3 of them among the league’s best. Fun. I’m busy enjoying the ride of this season, however.

    STORY: Baer Sustained Concussion, How & When A Mystery

    When a moving object impacts the stationary head, coup injuries are typical,[3] while contrecoup injuries are produced when the moving head strikes a stationary object.[1] As is often the case the answer is that it depends. Coup injury is near the site of impact. Contrecoup is opposite the...

    PG Joe Toussaint ranked number 2 player in New York City

    I think many including myself saw the passion he had vs ISU. If he can play with that energy and fills Baer’s Role off the bench, he will be an important player next season.

    Has Iowa Turned The Corner?

    Bottom line is some of the reverence for Tom Davis is nostalgic memory. He wasn’t as good as he is now remembered and FM isn’t as bad compared to Tom Davis as many are reporting that he is. The buzz on campus in the 1990s when I was there was that Davis got out worked by Roy Williams for the...

    The BAER block

    The worst is when one of the IN players drove w his head down into a double team, bowled over I think Baer, then kicked to a guy in the corner for a 3. It was a terrible obvious offensive foul that happened right in front of the baseline ref. To win a game like that on the road with so much not...

    Has Iowa Turned The Corner?

    Davis got run out of town because he was a lazy recruiter that got outworked for in state talent by Roy Williams. Getting beat by Roy as a coach at KU is acceptable. Getting outworked is not, period. It’s a fireable offense. Davis is fondly remembered because of the great 8 Raveling team (that...

    Has Iowa Turned The Corner?

    When they (hopefully eventually) make the sweet 16, he will have done everything Tom Davis did when he didn’t have a tailor made superstar roster not of his making waiting for him. Thus far FM has been 1 win short twice. Davis taught defense and had his teams really hit the boards. FMs teams...

    Tyler Cook

    He needs to never again shoot a face up jump shot. Maybe that’s what is meant. His horrible jump shooting cost Iowa vs WI. He missed one badly again last night at a critical time in the game. Turn around jumpshot, go for it. Love it if he got more opportunities close to the bucket bc he is a...

    Ok, Iowa's good.

    This team went from good to very good when they BOTH started locking in on defense AND stopped turning the ball over. They were great vs MI and again vs IN. This team could run the regular season table. If they continue to lock in on D, they just might. Toughest part of the schedule is behind...
