I think if close to home is a major motivator the Illinois will be tough to beat especially since they will have less of a logjam at PG to play. If he did end up at Iowa then most likely we would see a transfer of either Ulis or Toussaint. Probably would have to sit out a year which would...

Outbreak was #8 in the netflix trending top 10 this morning.

Bohannon probably takes Bakari's minutes and maybe some from Toussaint. Based on Nunge being a starter prior to his injury, I think Nunge gets most if not all of Kriener minutes. Also have to factor in potential minutes for PMac if he is able to get in proper conditioning shape to be able to...

Any 2021 basketball recruiting news? Who are the primary targets at this point?

Agreed. I haven't heard much talk about 2021 class yet outside of Sandfort. Biggest need will be a post player though. Nunge and Ogundale will be the only bigs after next year unless you include the Murray twins or PMac as a big.

I was a little disappointed that Toussaint hardly played in the second half after playing so well in the 1st half. I think Fran leans more toward good free throw shooting and conservative play late in games. And Evelyn is just a little more reliable in both areas. Toussaint just brings a...

Just looked at Big 10 career and season leaders. Alfraud had 749 points his senior year and 2438 career. I'd really like Garza to pass that guy for season total. Also Gustafson had 2800 career points and scored 1001 last year. As great as Garza has been, Gustafson still is probably the...

Sports Reference says 1531 total points and 652 rebounds. If he comes back he should top the list in both categories barring injury. Assuming averaging about 17 PPG and 9 RPG.

The lack of confident reliable shooters are the reason that teams are able to easily Double Garza at a low risk to giving up a basket. Purdue did well at quickly bringing the double. That's good execution of the gameplan. Also if Iowa doesn't give up 21 offensive rebounds which led to 20...

Wasn't that the year that the team plane crashed or something and they had to play the first game or 2 in their practice uniforms?

247 has him ranked as 10th best player. But he is having one of the best seasons of anyone in his state

I have been surprised in games where Iowa seems to be struggling to stop perimeter players defensively that Fran doesn't put Toussaint back in the game. I get that his offensive struggles at times hurt the team but he does seem to be one of our best perimeter defenders.

I'd like to see them at least make it to Saturday in the Big 10 tourney. It would probably lock them in as a 4 seed and the road to the sweet 16 would be easier as a 4 or 5 seed verse a 6 or 7.

Iowa was the only P5 offer that he got. I just checked 247 and Perkins is ranked as the 10th best player in Indiana. Those rankings are mostly based on when scouts see these kids at AAU tournaments. I see this kid as more of a slasher 3 position player that can hit the open 3 than a guard. And...

You could be right that I missed the sarcasm in the post. Its difficult to see, especially next year when we will potentially have 2 all Big 10 players, that there would be enough minutes for 11 players. To be happy with that role. These things do seem to always work themselves out though and we...

While Kentucky has had a few years where they went 10 deep in recent years. No team goes 13 deep. I challenge you to find one top 25 team that plays 13 players consistently more than 5 MPG. Granted I only looked at box scores of the teams that you mentioned but even a 10 man rotation is...

I wish basketball would get a similar rule to football where players can retain a redshirt if they only play 8 or 9 games. Then we wouldn't have this dilemma of whether we should redshirt a player and just deal with a short rotation or burn a redshirt for someone for 5 mins of spot duty in 10 games.

I could see Ogundale not redshirting with only 3 other post players on the roster and 2 of them being seniors. For sure if Pemsl doesn't come back. Only having 3 this year has been difficult when foul trouble hits.

Unless someone transfers or Wieskamp leaves early the rotation will already be about 10 guys with only returning players. Not a lot of minutes available for a true freshman backcourt player barring injuries. JBo, Connor, JoeT and CJ probably eat up all 80 minutes at the 1 and 2. Wieskamp will...

Do postseason stats count towards careerorseason totals in basketball?
