Great performance by Olsen. Affolder had a great line and was a steading influence on the floor. Iowa had very few turn overs. The foul situation was not good, but refs came up with some new ways to foul.

I tuned in with about 9 minutes left. I watched Iowa take the lead at 59 to 58, which lasted about 10 seconds. The game turned on free throws. Iowa could not seem to be able to guard Tonje, especially Payton. I think he fouled him twice. Sandfort going 2 for 11 and 1 of 7 from 3 point land...

I've posted multiple times that Iowa's Men Basketball Team biggest weakness is that it has no upper class compared to the competition they play. It really comes down to the senior class. Here are a few comments about the prominent players: 1. Payton Sandfort's overall field goal percentage made...

My criticism of IA vs Ohio State: Peyton is a George Costanzi chucker. His shot selection choices are ridiculous.

In the 2nd half up by 9 Iowa missed the front end of 3 (1 & 1 free throws ), Pryce missed two of two free throws, and Freeman made 1 of 2 free throws. Terrible!!! I don't think it was the best officiated game. That foul call on Peyton near the end was bad. There was an over and back on PSU not...

3 of 21 from the 3 point line as a team. Payton 1 of 9 from 3 and 7 of 19 in field goals. Iowa does not have an upper class to compete. I think we know where this season is headed.

The only team that could beat Ohio State is Ohio State. If they don't turn it over and avoid stupid penalties they are unbeatable.

If you are searching for answers for the men's basketball team it is going to take a long time to find them. This new college athletic environment makes it more challenging. What was possible years ago isn't possible now. I do not think it's possible to be a development program, which I feel is...

Probably, but not recently. It has to be the worst in the Fran era.

USC shot 10 of 15 from 3, outrebounded Iowa 37 to 20, and had more assist. Yet, won by 10. Iowa won the 2nd half 57 to 50. USC is mostly Seniors and Juniors. Iowa just couldn't get the lead under 5pts. Great effort, but USC was on fire from 3pt range to ice the game.

USC's 3 pt shooting was unconscious in the first half. Iowa's guards are so small compared to SC's. Iowa can't keep the SC guards out of the lane.

I looked at the NET ranking and Iowa is 54, they are still in the range to make it in . They have no Quad 1 wins so that is a negative. There a Jekyll and Hide team. from game to game and half to half. They need to find 9 more wins to make the NCAA tourney. I Fran will retire after the season...

I deliberately avoided watching the game other than to check the score. I looked at the box score at the half and saw that the offensive statistics were based more on special teams and MO penalties. Kirk has no creativity or doesn't allow it. I wish Dan Campbell for the Lions designed special...

Archaic offense and poor QB recruiting evaluation is my answer to your question. Offensively Iowa was near the bottom of the NCAA in passing yards.

The issues coming with world depopulation will impact society in massive economic terms. Western Civilization has been the major driver of developments leading to increased life expectancy and lower birth rates. It is expected the world population will decline by 2 billion people before the turn...

Rob hit on the fact that Fran can be enjoyable to be around when he is in the company of others. He doesn't come across that way on television during games or the the Q and A sessions afterward. It has affected his likeability. Another problem that I heard was complaints about playing his sons...

I didn't watch the game other than checking the score every so often. It appears the offensive rebounding was the critical difference. ISU had 7 more shots and 10 more offensive rebounds. Three point shooting was the same for both teams. ISU had 2 more steals, but turnovers ended up the same...

I wandered over to Cyclone Fanatic to read the comments about the game. They have a 39 page thread compared to this 4 page thread. There a lot of whining about the referees, their head coach, and the play of some of their team. It is suggested that the SWARM pumped a lot of NIL money into the...

There is no going back on NIL and the transfer options. The conferences and universities can set the rules for participation, but they won't. The dollars are too great for the universities to institute more stringent academic achievement levels. I'm sure some of the older audience here, remember...
