    HAILEY VAN LITH

    Agree with you that while Clark gets the recognition (and rightfully so) the team is 100% behind her and have bought into it. I read an article the other day talking about how Clark carries her teammates, but I think they've made a great deal of personal sacrifices to accept supporting roles...

    Run Iowa Run Against UConn??

    I agree about trying to run on them and the importance of a good game plan. That said Lisa's squaring off against Geno and I don't see him being outcoached. We benefitted a great deal from mistakes Kim made that we were able to exploit. If/when we win it's going to be about the players on the...

    HAILEY VAN LITH

    I'd take her in black and gold. She was not the player or person at LSU that she was at Louisville and I think transferring in to a National Champ trying to win another she did whatever she could to fit in, but never really did. I wanted her when she transferred out of Louisville and I'd take...

    Angel Reese

    My take is she's a fierce competitor who's game reminds me of Draymond Green's before everyone got tired of the antics. On your team you love her and tbh she may be a great teammate and person off the court, I'll take their word about her character because I don't know her and have only seen...

    Tony Perkins to the Portal

    I wish him the best but will truly feel a slap in the face if he chooses Indiana or Oregon.

    Payton Sandfort Going Through NBA Draft Process

    I think this day and age it's a no brainer to at least put your name in the ring to get evaluated. Absolutely no harm, whether good enough or not to get assessed and know where you currently are and where you need to improve. We'll see back in college ball next season and hopefully he'll still...

    O’Grady appreciation thread

    Maybe because of the men's team I find my standards are too low, but TBH I'm just enjoying the right and don't have that "they must win" mentality. I absolutely want them to continue to advance but at this point based on the level of competition don't feel as though I'd be disappointed with a...

    O’Grady appreciation thread

    They all stepped up and played huge. It's so easy to say that Caitlin carried the team, but TBH I think her teammates put her in a position to shine last night and they each perfectly complemented each other.

    UCONN

    I thought size would be an issue last night, but I'll be honest I had no idea we'd play our best game of the season last night. The girls were absolutely clicking on all cylinders. I'll be the first to admit that generally I'm anything but thrilled with CC's shot selection and where she pulls...

    Evolution of College Athletics

    Not sure I agree. (1) This assumes most future pros are there for an education and value a degree. (2) The window of opportunity is only so long for athletes before they find themselves on the downward spiral. Is it fair to mandate those that are ready have to give up those years playing...

    Iowa Season Ends with Loss at Utah

    Yeah, not sure what it was, but struggled remembering to watch games this year. Found myself watching a ton of the women's games, but men's were often a distance second or simply forgot about. Tbh last night was no different. Watched the USA vs. Mexico soccer game while totally forgetting the...

    NCAA

    Good point but Fran's sitting at 6-12 overall in the tourney with zero sweet 16s since he's been here. In that time Coach Cal's gone 32-11 with a NC, a loss in the championship, loss in the Final 4, 3 losses in the Elite 8 and one sweet 16 loss. Fran's got him in the last 5 years, but over...

    Hawkeye Hoops Advances in NIT

    Sorry but ISU men are already head and shoulders a better program then we are. They get a NC and forget about it. No way I want to see them win anything them doing so would have negative effects on us from more then just their annoying fan base.

    Better next year???

    My thought was those tall lengthy guys don't while lengthy often lack quickness or the physicality to really lock things down defensively. And while he's commented on it we've also seen time after time where the player who's a better shooter/scorer may see to court more then someone who's known...

    Better next year???

    We don't need another Garza, who was a generational talent. Purdue's figured things out. You need a big that can alter shots, rebound and score in the paint. Edey had no where the range that Garza did and is equally effective because he doesn't have to be a shooter. IMO Fran needs to quit...

    Better next year???

    I agree that our practice time is spent working on the offense and defense will always come in a distant second. However I also feel we struggle because Fran is set in his recruiting and is obsessed with tall lengthy wings that can shoot from the perimeter. Not saying we need to completely go...

    Better next year???

    Sorry I totally disagree. I think those 4 or 5 bad losses this year would simply be replaced by 4 or 5 new bad losses next year. The few dependable defenders we have on this team came in as dependable defenders until we can make a commitment from the coaches/returning players on the defensive...
