It was exactly as I remember. Lute had the good luck to have Ronnie Lester, the best point guard I've ever seen, and a bunch of decent role players. I was inferring that his time in Iowa was very good, but I think it had peaked. He was able to recruit better players to Arizona.

Lute is always brought up as the coach who made Iowa a national contender. He did make the Final Four once, but he also lost a couple of first round games as a big favorite. His overall record at Iowa wasn't great, but much better than his predecessor, Schultz. Lute, like Ralph Miller, went on...

I want to be there when you walk up to Jbo at the bar and tell him he's not a point guard. I hope you have a strong jaw. I don't know, but just maybe the player that started for three years and holds the Hawkeye assist record should be considered a point guard. But that's just me.

In what world is Ash's scholarship a big deal? What, you think we could have used it to get some stud? Everybody is always saying that McCaffrey needs to late down the number of players he uses. Why not give an unused schollie to someone who has put in their time?

How about everybody take a breath and see how Iowa's QBs play with a little better O-line. Just possibly, with more than a second and a half to make a read and get rid of the ball, QB play will improve.

The Hawks swept three games against Bucky last year and are 6-2 in the last eight games. But then, that was with Luka Garza...

I. Wish. People. Would. Stop. Doing. This.

Tracy caught the ball, tucked it in his arm, took a stutter step (which established possession), then braced himself for the hit he was about to take. He went to the ground, the ball touched the ground and he bobbled it slightly then regained control. The replay official evidently didn't think...

I like your sentiment here, but Lester went down with that knee on a no-contact play in the Louisville game. Unless you were referring to when he was originally injured. I don't recall the circumstances there.

I'll take Ronnie Lester and any other 6 players from the guys you have all brought up. Lester was, hands down, the best college point guard I've ever watched. Picking the rest of my team would be too difficult.

That was Jim Bain. Lute got in trouble for saying he should be hung for a terrible call that cost the Hawks a win at Purdue.

I'm with you there. Downtown Freddy Brown, John Johnson, the Stick Vidnovic... what a team! Undefeated in the Big 10 and scored over 100 in every game. Jacksonville had a front line of 7'2" Artis Gillmore and 7' Pembroke Burrows. Gilmore averaged 26 points and 22 rebounds that year. Holy...

That was a sad time to be a Hawkeye BB fan. A great team with a lot of Iowans starting. But then there was Alfraud. I too hated him passionately. I wanted the team to do well, but if they did it helped that rat bastard. Aaargh!

IMO Fran's recruits are similar to what Mr. Davis brought in. He had some nice teams. Garza's development is what makes Fran look better.

I believe they avoid putting a 1 and 2 seed from the same conference in the same region. With two 1 seeds from the B1G, there aren't that many options.

Michigan has been fortunate to have a fairly easy schedule so far. Remember, they lost to the Gophers by 20. Have the Hawks lost to anyone by 20? (OK, I guess they lost by about that to the Zags, but that's not the same thing) They beat the Buckeyes Saturday, but then, the Hawks barely lost to...

I've watched Michigan and OSU play several times this year. Neither is the juggernaut people are making them out to be. Remember, Michigan lost by 20 to the Gophers. Beating the Buckeyes is about the only feather in the Wolverines' cap. And remember, the Buckeyes barely beat the Hawks without...

Or maybe you can't see the irony in a moderator on an internet forum using childish nicknames. I don't remember Rob ever doing that.

If you want to be taken seriously, lose the childish nicknames for Iowa's head coach.

Connor actually is very good at that shot. If I had to guess I would say he makes over 50% if them.
