Looks like Ben has changed in the last 20 years.

You didn't answer Dean's question. Ben also stated in his original tweet the shoes were paid by tax payers/booster/ tv rev, which was incorrect. Why is there no ethical duty from the media to research before publicly shaming? Ben also admitted to not watching the game. He's entitled to his own...

Yes. It was a close game, down to the free throws in the last few minutes of the game.

Classless?

Watched the last couple minutes of regulation. Burke hit some big shots down the stretch. Teams are inconsistent, to say the least.

I'll be that guy. I stuck up for Connor last year, but I think he's pushing it beyond his ability this year. He drove the lane 3 times that I can recall against the gophers (1) drove into 3 defenders, turnover (2) shot blocked deep in the lane (3) airball fade away. I think he has a high ball IQ...

I've attended 90% of the home games the last 4 years & several away games. There are better stadiums (Nebraska) in the B10 but there are also a lot worse places (Barn and RAC) to visit. As a basketball junkie, I love Carver. I don't blame the team, fans or the students. It's an Iowa admin issue...

Mich & SDSU. Our close losses.

Like someone else said, Toussaint should be seeing the court 30 min game. Especially in close games. He brings a new speed the defense isn't expecting, causing the defender to foul when T blows by them. He's going to be really dangerous when he starts making his shots.

In both halfs, Toussaint got pulled (at least against Mich) as soon as he turned the ball over. The guy is a freshman playing in a true road game. Leave him in. Iowa was within 7 points in the 2nd half with Toussaint in the game. Mich went on a 6 or 8 pt run as soon as Toussaint sat. Iowa never...

Rewatch the last 2 games. This isn't true.

I feel as though you are arguing just to argue. I understand keeping the defense honest but Connor's shots are not all wide open from the outside. My previous points still stand, we just disagree about his shooting. Who would you have shooting the 3-ball on the last play of the game for the...

Disagree. I'd choose any other player on Iowa to shoot from outside, especially early in the shot clock. This thread is about the SDSU game. A miss in a close game early in the shot clock could have cost the game. I thought Connor played too many minutes late in the game. T played well in 1st...

You need to read my response again. I never said Connor can't play because he's the coaches son. I really liked Connor last year when he wasn't shooting. He has a lot of strong qualities, shooting from the outside isn't one of them.

Connor will *always* play more then he should & will be allowed to make more dumb decisions due to Fran. When Toussaint & Evelyn played together in the first half, Iowa grew the lead. Why did it take so long for them to check back in the 2nd half? Because Connor is Fran's son. Seems like fans...

This was the 1st close game of the season. That's when every posession counts. I have no problem with other proven shooters taking that shot early in the clock. I question it when its Connor & Fran won't pull him for the bad shots.

Points aren't the total story for a player. I thought Toussaint should have gotten more of Connors minutes last night. SDSU wasn't prepared for T.

Looks like to me that Connor is out to prove that he can shoot. He's taking too many bad shots early in the shot clock and the ball is staying in his hands too long. He has a toughness that iowa needs but needs to pass more & less thinking on offense. Give the ball to Garza! Go hawks.

I can't say anything about Finn but FS1 is hard to listen to if you aren't cheering for the favorite. Saw a lot of good about hawks. Glad to see that we weren't 100% tonight. Hope Connor gets less minutes in future games. T needs more court time.
