Its funny cause those 87-88 and 88-89 teams would easily beat the pants off this years team. Not understanding how good we are, is a personality trait.

For what the expectations were. In my opinion, it was a disappointing season for what the expectations were. I just think we did not have the athleticism and the quickness of other top teams. We still managed to have some good wins and kept our #5 ranking. I think the greatest accomplishment we...

I disagree. This thing just finally blew up. It has been brewing for years. Marble's jersey should be retired just like B.J. Armstrong's is. Devyn is right to be pissed.

At least he would have been point blank honest. I still think he should have his jersey retired and hung from the rafters.

Ray Thompson was averaging around 22 points a game as a sophmore before he was declared academically ineligible. Man what could have been...

The eighties were a great, great time to be a Hawkeye. The football team, the men's basketball team and the women's basketball team. Never a better time to be a Hawkeye fan!

I agree completely. There are a lot of current Hawkeye fans that don't care. Its ridiculous and shameful. There are even some people on here that saw that amazing era in Iowa Basketball history and still find reasons to criticize Roy Marble from having his jersey retired. One commenter said he...

BJ Armstrong was no All American, no All Big Ten, just one honorable AA mention. Roy Marble was no All American, no All Big Ten with one honorable AA mention. BJ's jersey is retired. Roy's is not. Stats and accolades are pretty much the same. Roy's jersey should have been retired. The only...

Marbles number should have been retired YEARS ago. It is a bit ridiculous and shameful that it hasn't. His son Devyn has a valid point.

He can shoot the three. I am sure he will be able to shoot the mid ranger. The kid has a lot of natural basketball talent probably learned from his father.

Great write up!

Well with your kind of thinking we would never win anything. Ever. We'd just be stuck as a perpetually average team that wins nothing. Coaching change won't change recruiting? How so? The buck stops with Fran even if its not him doing the scouting. Fran kept the Hawkeyes a top 5 team...

I think McCaffrey is not a very good coach. I don't see adjustments being made during games and doesn't use timeouts effectively to regroup or refocus the team. Best example of McCaffrey seeming a bit lackadaisical with in game coaching, which is glaring, a game a few weeks ago at the end of the...

After the game today we have two huge match ups 3 days apart. Michigan on the 25th and Ohio State on the 28th. I am excited for these two games and have a lot of optimism going in. We have been playing much better the last few games making me think "Where has this team been?". We saw them play...

Great memories from those teams and Roy in the late eighties. Thank you for this great article.

Fran making sure we all heard this correctly: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cnXaKuzSw6c (Incidentally is there a way to title a url?)

Nothing is going to change unless Fran makes the change. I don't see the players being able to do it alone. A sweet sixteen would be very satisfying right now. Lets hope they can get it together.

Neither, just bad coaching.

One thing that stuck out to me today was the last possession of the 1st half. We had the ball with the shot clock turned off and with around 10 seconds to go our point guard just dribbles around and doing nothing while the 4 others stand just waiting around doing nothing. No screens for a shot...

Thanks for that. I was waiting for someone to chime in about getting stops.
