The answer has to be a stronger commitment to denying dribble penetration and/or easy entry passes to the deep post. Against athletic, high caliber teams, we consistently got killed by dribble penetration and easy baskets. They are back-breakers for flow and progression of our game. It leads to...

Maybe so. But I hope to encourage good conversation about where/how we choose to criticize the program. Iowa has a talent problem in hoops. We're losing our most talented player (to pro basketball... not a transfer/quitting, so this is kind of a good thing?). We need to get better recruits, and...

Yes and No. Yes for obvious reasons. And no, because he literally looked sleepy during many of our games and it's symbolic of how I view him as a player.

I think we're in agreement on these Iowa players. Even if you rank those 4 above Cook (most would...), that leaves Cook as one of the greatest Iowa players of the 21st century (fifth best). I don't really care about the advanced statistics as much as I care about Iowa basketball developing a...

We all have the right to be frustrated and I'm as guilty of that as anyone. But the season's over. This isn't some emotional night after a tough loss kind of moment anymore. This thread has a nasty vibe in the air and it reflects the stale feeling that many Iowa fans have towards the program...

I don't want my comments to be confused with complaining about star count, recruiting website rankings, etc. I think that's all a BS industry that's grown with the internet and doesn't serve much purpose (kind of like fan messageboards...?). Like everyone else, I'm simply curious to see how...

Here's to hoping you're right. His offer list didn't look that impressive.

During most "good" years, our defense seems to be near the top 20 nationally. So this would be totally feasible. But I don't foresee Iowa having enough depth, talent, or aggressiveness to be a top 5 total defense. The top 5 defenses in CFB have an extra layer of talent, speed, and aggressive...

Again, we're not the only one's saying this... So frustrating to think about how un-explosive Iowa's offense was this past year. QB with experience and a massively talented arm Two freak of nature (first round draft caliber) TEs Solid athletes and other pieces all around the offense Couldn't...

Ideally, you're not lying on your back while playing football.

I think I could ramble/complain about this for hours. Long story short, it's all about the $$$. Ticket sales might be down (for Iowa, for specific sports, or leagues in general..), but that doesn't necessarily mean total revenue is down. College FBall drives the college sports economy. The...

He's going to Michigan

I like his highlight tape! Tall, good hands, can get open, and fast with the ball in his hands.

What's the word on Xavier Foster lately?

Explosive might be the wrong word. My point is really centered around defense. Think about the talent level of Iowa big men and the type of recruits we typically sign. We REALLY need our big men to play early and often and get meaningful minutes in game. This is how they learn, develop, and get...

I always notice when Nunge walks out onto the floor during timeouts and pregame (in dress clothes) - he looks massive. Maybe legitimately 7' ? He also looks like a big, broad shouldered guy, and from what I've seen, he has really good athletic ability (jumping, explosiveness, etc.). I'm really...

Curious for the opinion of Iowa HS basketball fans and experts. These two are very similarly rated by the big recruiting services (247, ESPN), they seem to play somewhat similar positions, and have roughly the same physical stature. From watching Joe this year, and highlights of Pat, I would...

Was looking at the standings today and I also noticed... only 6 road games thus far? That seems crazy considering we've played 24 games. But looking at the conference, it actually seems pretty standard.

But Dad, I wanna feel special
