When my wife's checkbook was stolen and the thief used a check to withdrawal money from our account, it took the bank (BOA) 3 1/2 days to provide the police a picture of the thief. Granted, it wasn't an armed robbery, but you'd be surprised at how slow banks move at all levels.

Hawk fans you have just witnessed back to back seasons into the round of 32 for the first time since the 1996 and 1997 NCAA Tournaments. As frustrating as our end of game offense can be, you have to tip your cap to this staff and group of players (particularly the seniors). That's 19 years...

I was thinking Luke Recker in BiG Tourney... I was wrong.

Do we even have an offense... Or do we just take turns shooting difficult shots and hope they go in?

I hope Villanova is getting this good basketball out of their system today!!! Their post player could be a handful... fade away base line jumpers from a big is tough to stop. Of course, that only matters if we can win today.

Thought it was interesting to look at the odds of all of the 7-10 match ups in the NCAA Tournament (all 4 games on Friday). Odds according to ESPN's score page. #7 Iowa (-7.5) vs. #10 Temple #7 Wisconsin (-2.0) vs. #10 Pittsburgh #7 Dayton (-1.0) vs. #10 Syracuse #7 Oregon State (+4.5) vs...

Hey. Look at that, we called a time out.

Yuck. And now we have to sit on that loss for a week. There is still a path to Championship. Let's try and get back on it next week and hope for upsets during our week off. 4 games remaining for 7 more eliminations. None of the below scenarios are likely, but they do illustrate that many of...

Do you have any links to these studies? I'm not trying to be a smart**s, I genuinely would like to know what the research says. All I hear in the media are the sad stories and other anecdotal evidence. I would like some more comprehensive information? I'm still holding my breath for ESPN or...

Finally, someone asked the question that I've been wondering for several months now.

Not to take anything away from Fran.... but that set play was absolutely called by one of the assistant's. While Mike was dribbling, you could see the assistant get up and walk toward Fran suggesting the play. Fran gave a slight nod and then both coaches started yelling the play to the...

An ugly win is still a win. Expect all games to be tough from here on in. 5 games remaining for 8 more eliminations February 14, 2016 Iowa 75 Minnesota 71 Iowa 11-2 Current Eliminations: Illinois 3-9 Penn State 3-9 Northwestern 5-8 Previous Eliminations: Minnesota 0-10 Feb. 3 Rutgers 0-10...

Last night did not turn out like we all hoped. On the bright side, if at the beginning of the season you would have offered a tie for first place after 12 conference games, we all would have taken it. 6 games to go and 11 teams left to eliminate. Let's get started this weekend. February 11...

Penn St's win over Indiana prevented an elimination for the time being, but Indiana's loss helps Iowa's long-term chance of winning the BIG regular season title. Here is the math from today's win until Iowa's next game at Indiana on Thursday. February 7, 2016 Iowa 77 Illinois 65 Iowa 10-1...

You are correct that with a win tomorrow, Illinois could only tie Iowa. Iowa would have the tie-breaker in a head to head tiebreaker. However, it's theoretically possible that Iowa, Illinois and another team could end up in a three way tie. In that case, it's too early to say with...

What a great season our Hawks are having!!! To add to the fun and anticipation of what we might accomplish, I thought I'd start and update a thread that marks each time the Hawks mathematically eliminate an opponent in the BIG standings and provide the possible scenarios for the next game...

2 things: 1) Not very classy by Stanford to keep throwing. 2) If Wadley isn't #1 on the next released depth chart, then I'm convinced we are trying to lose.

Uhhh, did I miss the Lamar game this year???

You have it backwards. It's the Kreiger's who actually had 10 girls. The story is pretty remarkable. Worth the short read. http://archive.hawkcentral.com/2013/09/19/bryce-miller-what-are-the-odds-two-cousins-could-play-tight-end-for-the-hawkeyes/

Uhhh.... For those of us in Kansas City, the broadcast started at 5:38 remaining in the 4th Quarter thanks to the Royals rain delayed 14-6 thriller!!! Talk about frustrating!!!
