His buffoonery could be the key to an Iowa victory!

It kind of feels like you're making light of the murder of a young Black man. Not a great look, for you.

What is dead may never die.

Legitimately was wondering why this wasn't on the basketball forum. "Coach Fred Hoiberg has added 6'11" center Bok Bok to his 2022 recruiting class. Bok, a native of Senegal..."

Hawks are drawing dead in any game that's officiated like this.

Iowa could lose every remaining regular season game, get bounced in the first round of the B1G tournament, then lose in the First Four, and Fran would still not be fired. Do people not remember how awful this program was when Fran took over? It would take multiple losing seasons for him to be...

This game?

Small sample size alert, but it would seem that adjustments have been made following the Ohio State loss.

I'd guess they'd be around where Michigan State is, 3-7 or so. Better than Northwestern, not as good as Maryland.

Looking back 10 seasons, here are the best comps to this year's Iowa team, strictly from efficiency rankings: 2017 Oklahoma State 1st in OEff, 155th in DEff, 20-13 record, 10 seed, lost in first round to 7 Michigan 2015 Notre Dame 2nd in OEff, 99th in DEff, 32-6 record, 3 seed, lost in Elite...

Looking at the entire KenPom era (back to 2002, total of 18 completed seasons), among the 72 Final Four teams, only three were outside the top 50 in defensive efficiency: 2012 VCU (78th) 2003 Texas (58th) 2003 Marquette (109th) Iowa is currently 134th in defensive efficiency. To make the Final...

I thought it was really well done. Nate Burleson in particular was fantastic in explaining the game in a way that kids could understand.

And Kittle

I guess it's not surprising that someone who thinks Col. Jessup was the hero of A Few Good Men has these terrible opinions...

Thank you. This has nagged at me for years, seeing the disparities in the racial makeup of the starting lineups between Iowa and other programs at or above their level. The walk-ons who play, while the highly-touted recruits sit or transfer out. It may not be outward racism, like Doyle's...

Hot take alert: If Glen Worley had gone to any of his other final college choices, he would have been an All-American and had a 10+ year NBA career. One of several players who legitimately got worse under Alford's tutelage.

Definitely need Seth Tuttle on the list.

I'll use this post to complain about UNI not being in the new top 25. Beat a top 25 team, on the road, last week. Only loss is to a current top 25 team under extremely questionable circumstances. Makes no sense.

Someone should start a thread about him...
