The game is at 8pm and the surgery is in the morning. He will have plenty of time to be with his family and then get to the site for the game. Not going to be an issue so lets stop with the "Fran having to choose" stuff. End of thread.

I do think that this needs to be the last year that the RPI is used though. It is a dated system and does not factor in a lot of important things that Pomeroy and BPI factor in. I also think that we will get a break because of Oglesby being out for 2 non-conference losses (ISU and Villanova,)...

I am not a big fan of ESPN and how they try to control/impose their analysts opinions on everyone for every sport, but after our current RPI of 54, I really wish the BPI was a major factor. BPI is a 22 as our RPI looks like it has fallen in the last few days.

Gesell or Olaseni would have to be the only 2 guys worth getting multiple votes. I would like to say White but his disappearing acts have hurt us. Mike and Gabe are always going 100% but sometimes they just don't get the results we would all like to see.

I would also like to think that "this" was their goal when they signed on to play for Coach McCaffery and join the Iowa program. Hopefully they understand that they have accomplished something good and maybe this will be a confidence booster for these guys despite everything that has happened...

Iowa has always held a private viewing for the unveiling of the brackets. The only times they had been shown on tv was after the Big Ten Conference Tourney Championships when CBS had them at their disposal.

I think Fred has more class than something like that. He isn't reaching for recruits like Rhoads. He will probably just let the kids celebrate and then talk to them when nobody is around.

Maybe Fran should man up and tell the team that he is going back to giving Mel his minutes, and Jarrod his like in the out of conference and that Josh, Zach, Gabe and Woody's are all going to be dependent on who is hot when they get their chance. When these guys play with great energy and are...

They might even fall to a 4 depending on what teams like Michigan State can do and with Kansas likely falling to a 3 from a 2.

N.C. State just punched their ticket after beating Syracuse 66-63. Bubble team that is probably in as a 9 seed now.

Thoughts and Prayers go out to Patrick, Fran, Margaret and the rest of the McCaffery family.

I think that he might go with Mike and the point, Trey at the 2, Oglesby at the 3, White at the 4 and Woody at the 5. Jok, Gabe and Utoff would be the 1st 3 off of the bench. If Clemmons transfers, then I think that Jok might be at the 2 and the point guard may be up in the air once the...

We go as Gessell goes. When he is able to hit the 15-18 foot jumpers we tend to be able to run much more successful ball-screen action which then leads to help by the defense and open looks for Dev and Josh. When he isn't getting into the lane and hitting those and dropping passes on the slip...

Of all of the teams to draw in a potential 2nd round match-up, I think that we drew the toughest one. I just don't know where we would have gotten points at on Thursday night if Dev wasn't hitting everything he shot. They came out hot too, but that was due to a lack of defense on our end. It...

I have been wanting to do this for awhile, as I have felt that certain officials have been "negligent" in how they call the games this year, compared to how they should be called based on the new rules. In Iowa's losses that have happened in the states (No Villanova game as those were not Big...

I think that our ability to run doesn't mean that we have to, especially on the road come this Thursday. Teams generally play better and shoot better at home, see Minnesota and Indiana. I think that come tourney time, it would be good for us to have played a game against a defensive minded...

This game was a must and I did not see anything different from our coaching staff. How does Utoff only play 8 minutes and Mel maybe 12? I think Clemmons should get more minutes as well so Marble can rest a bit. Basabe had our 1st 4 points and shoots ft's relatively well and we didn't use him...

Re: In the last 2 years, how often has the Marble isolation play worked at the end... With everyone knowing that Marble was going to be the guy, why not at least get him a ball screen where we force a switch, or where he can waive if off? Then he can just hit the pull-up jumper which is "in...

Did anybody hear Bilas say that Iowa fans (who were booing about 2 minutes after Fran's T) had a point to be mad, as Fran was T'd up for being "too far out of the coaches box" and then Izzo was past the box and on the floor towards Iowa's end? Double standard with officials in this league...

With all of the pressure D they are playing on the ball, a few backdoor cuts/lobs need to happen. Get their heads on a swivel. They currently don't respect our 3 point shooting.
