    Games you just can't lose

    .....Ray Thompson ruled academically ineligible; Settles numerous back injuries; Chris Street killed; blowing a 16 point halftime lead in the Elite 8; losing Lester to a knee injury; going undefeated in B1G and losing in 1st round to Jacksonville St; etc, etc, etc.....

    Wieskamp needs a Bohannon blood transfusion

    And if JW was tougher physically, he'd be a huge mistmatch in the post and could get so many easy baskets by either backing his guy down there with the dribble or when he cuts, setting up shop in the post and taking the pass from the top of the key (ala Wisky's swing offense). Alas, he's a one...

    Wieskamp needs a Bohannon blood transfusion

    This. It's obvious as all get out that JW is bound and determined to show scouts his dribble drive game because that's the feedback he got. Unfortunately, he's such a terrible ball handler on top of being physically weak inside that he just get's his ass kicked every time he tries to drive...

    Wieskamp needs a Bohannon blood transfusion

    The worst shot in basketball (other than the one with a toe on the line) is one where you've hesitated for a second or two and then launch. It never goes in because it's not in rhythm. Either take it in rhythm or keep the ball moving, but don't sit there for 2 seconds with the ball in your...

    Games you just can't lose

    Every team looks bigger and more athletic than us....that's not a new revelation. But we can typically beat those teams because we're so damn efficient on offense. We are one of the best cutting and screening teams in the country which is why we are so efficient. Where it bogs down, though...

    Wow, one loss away from

    Yes, we're one loss from ninth and we're also one win from 4th and the double bye. Not sure it says much other than the league is tremendously balanced outside of the bottom 2.

    The Hopefully Not Garza’s Last Home Game Thread

    This is where I'm at. Given the injuries and departures, this has been as surprised as I've been by a season. There are things that still drive me batshit crazy, but I'll take the bad with the good because I've seen up close and personal just how bad it can get (*cough* Lickliter *cough*)...

    Wieskamp needs a Bohannon blood transfusion

    This isn't meant to denigrate Joe because he's seems like a nice kid and, at the end of the day, it's basketball, not life and death.... With that being said, I've paid particular attention to him while he's on the court and have noticed the following: 1. More often than not he jogs back on...

    The Hopefully Not Garza’s Last Home Game Thread

    Overall, I like Fran, but his entire 10 year career here is marked with way too many WTF games that just make no sense. This year it was DePaul, Nebraska, and the 2 Purdue games. Just no reason whatsoever to perform that poorly.

    When a team misses 38 shots and gets offensive rebounds on 20 of those misses, then yeah, you’re gonna lose.

    That fat ref with the shirt 3 sizes too small is easily the worst ref in the conference and it’s not even close

    If JW had any handles whatsoever he could be breaking these double teams down with ease. But he doesn’t, so he either gets stripped or falls down. Pretty tired of his overall lack of effort.

    Garza possible career scoring and rebound leader...if he stays

    According to the roster, he’s a junior. I know, I was surprised too!

    Garza possible career scoring and rebound leader...if he stays

    No doubt! I'd dislike it as well! :)

    Epenesa- Combine

    I'm sticking with my original pick of #27 to the Seahawks, especially given his combine performance.

    Garza possible career scoring and rebound leader...if he stays

    The one team that I could see that'd have a case as well is (and I hate to say it because I hate those f'ers) Wisconsin. Their whole team is essentially juniors except for Pritzl, who is the only one graduating. Given the fact that it seems to be addition by subtraction regarding Kobe King and...

    Monday Interviews: Fran and Hawkeye Players

    Gotta love a kid who's living out his dream playing for the team he rooted for growing up. Doesn't get much better than that. Seems to have a good head on his shoulders so I imagine he'll be successful in whatever he chooses.

    Geno Stone combine

    I don't think he gets drafted. He was either the worst or near worst in virtually every single drill. He'll certainly get picked up as an UFA, but I don't see anyway he gets drafted.

    Garza possible career scoring and rebound leader...if he stays

    He's probably got about 38 total games left to do it between what's left this year and what he'll have next year. That means he'll need to average 16.1 points and 9.3 rebounds to own both records. The points record should be a no brainer. The rebounds one would be pretty close. I hope he...

    Big Ten Bracket Simulator

    I wasn't insinuating that there was a cause and effect relationship. What I was saying is that, we can't really look at just losses that should have been wins without also looking at wins that could very easily have been losses. At the end of the day, we definitely won some games that should...
