I am still pulling for all the Big 10 teams to win so as to give the league a better power look. It will also make Iowa's 12-8 record and tourney title look better. I think Rutgers, Iowa, and IU are out. We know at least 8 of the 9 Big teams will have a loss and maybe all 9 so it is just a...

And Baylor goes down, another upset, Iowa's poor game is a distant memory for most. St Pete's over Kentucky, Baylor, it could get wide open.

How does this war get prevented? Just curious when the whole thing came down to one person.

Was this overall record or just at Iowa? The team looked and acted and played tight Thursday. I think Fran's personality has done that to some of his teams before but I didnt think that would happen this year. But Perkins, PMac, JoeT, Sandfort, and both Murrays are still young and it was...

That could be that you think they are not the same thing but really I am pretty firmly taking the stance that one is equal to the other. Appeasement and 'not doing shit' in 1938 and 1939 didnt stop a maniac then and it wont now. So not helping Ukraine with tons of supplies, weapons, and...

Well one aspect of it is what would a really good man, as Keegan is described, do with some big bucks. I am sure he will be ok financially if the economy pretty much stays the same. But a young person who makes millions can parlay that into doing good work and helping a lot of people if that...

I agree with you and remember Keegan has been out of high school for 3 years, 3 seasons. He is the age and maturity of a college player who finished his junior year. Yes he has at least two years of hawkeye eligibility but by all reports he has proved he is a top draft pick. I think the only...

There is some interesting information in this op-ed by Jim Jones. It is a good read. "Vladimir Putin provides an eye-opener for his GOP fans in America" First some info about the author...

Yes and if u remember they got beat on a bunch of back door plays in that last regular season game against Mich. At least according to Zabel

This year's hawks won a few more games, finished 4th in the league iirc, and winning the tournament made them champs. That hardware and everything else makes them the better team. They lost about 4 really close league games. Then they had a stinker of a game where they were off in some major...

Correct, the last 50-60 years has seen some Big 10 titles and tourney titles, most times finishing in the top half of the Bball standings, making some post-season waves but also having a lot of NCAA fails under Lute, Alford and Fran. I didnt fall for the Final Four talk. Yes, Iowa had the...

And #5 UConn went down today. Three big upsets.

And remember the hawks were a top team a lot from 1956 to 1970 and then from the late 1970s through most of Mr. Davis's time into the early 2000's. Not every year but most years. Alford had a couple really good teams, Lick no, Fran has had a few really good teams but he needs to vary his offense...

Only 42, oh you missed the 1968 Coach Miller Sam Willilams led hawk Bball team play poorly at home to barely lose to Michigan to give up an outright Big 10 title, lose to Ohio St a few days later in a one game playoff to be the ONLY Big team to go to the NCAA's. Then just 2 years later watch...

Man you must have really been pissed after the early Mr. Davis team lost that big halftime lead against UNLV and barely missed out on the final four. I know back then I took all the loses pretty bad. Now I slightly expect the crap to happen like I did today (see my posts earlier this week saying...

Except for us Iowa fans. but at my old age I do not take these losses like I did 30-50 years ago. Oh the Jacksonville tip in that beat that great 1970 Iowa team was a gut wrencher. I was only half way pissed at Alford when he couldnt coach his 2006 team to a win with a 17 point lead and about...

If you remember the game started with Richmond making 3 quick fouls and we got to the bonus earlier than usual and they got in some foul trouble. But then in the 2nd half richmond was playing tough, physical man to man the whole half and they only had 4 fouls after about 15 minutes. Totally...

Yes, I agree with the timeouts. Did you notice when the hawks had their quick 11-0 run in the 2nd half to go up by 5 the richmond coach didnt wait for a tv timeout but took his own. He got his team to slow down a bit cuz Iowa was running them. He got them to work their offense, make a bucket...

Oh he is mad now and running the show

I understand whatever your anger is with all the screaming all caps bold font and I agree Fran just looked detached from the game today. He was calling any new plays but just let them run motion the whole game. And he needed to chew some butt and get mad after the first 4 minutes with a couple...
