To answer the thread's title question -- in the immortal words of MLK, Jr.: "How long? Not long."

This is a long-shot, but Beth has already shown she's not afraid to make such a move. She could dictate to Fran in a similar way she dictated to Ferentz. She could inform Fran that "X" coach on his staff is fired, and he has 30 days to hire a defensive specialist coach or consultant; if he...

Amen to that...how this team shoots the 3s determines Ws and Ls more than any Iowa team I remember.

I noticed that too...either that, or they watched an old Groucho Marx movie last night!

The suggestion that Iowa "should be a clear #2" now and into the future, considering the resources that Okie St. has along with new coach David Taylor, is not realistic, IMO.

I'm just saying the sky isn't falling. Iowa actually scored more points at this year's BTen tourney and finished one spot higher this year than an last year's tourney. Iowa's best guys got beat by guys they've beaten before. Are they capable of turning the tables and beating them again? Yep...

Love your optimism, Huck! The Huskers gotta be in shock.

Take a deep breath, everybody. Yes, Nebraska had a nice tourney and overperformed their seeds. Will they do that again in 2 weeks? No one knows -- they're the same guys that got thumped by UNI earlier this season in Cedar Falls. This was a disappointing tourney for the Hawks, but it doesn't...

Got home in time to watch the final 16 minutes. Thrilled for the Hawkeye players (and coach), but boy, those were two subpar teams out there. Even in the win, Iowa's offense was SO stagnant -- basically standing around looking at the guy with the ball. Nebraska is really undertalented for the...

Perhaps it would be legal if they just picked up a small player and threw them over the LOS, without having that player launch off another player. You're right, that type of thing is the next logical step as long as they allow 'pushing' of your own teammate. I hated it when college ball...

That 1st quarter was a thing of beauty: 25-9. Dang. It took awhile for this group to jell, but really impressed with how Coach Jensen has melded the veterans with the Fr this season. I've also REALLY liked her substitute patterns these last 11 games. Each player is not necessarily sharp or...

I don't know about the pros, but in college ball you're not allowed to use anything other than the ground as a launching pad. For example, to block a FG, you can't run, and then jump off the back of your own player to launch over the OLinemen or block the FG.

I don't agree with your use of the term "extra rights". Civil rights don't give 'extra rights' -- they simply exist to guarantee minorities that have a history of being discriminated against THE SAME rights that those of us in the majority enjoy. Do you think transgender Iowans encounter...

1: I don't know if it's 'corruption', but it's definitely an inappropriate Conflict of Interest. 2: If the consumer protection cases were investigating potential criminal conduct, then common sense would say interfering with or stifling those investigations creates at least a Conflict of...

The Supreme Court has ruled that how an individual spends their money is 'free speech'. Given that, surely how an individual chooses to dress (as long as they don't act in an illegal way) is 'free speech'. Since Iowa Republican legislators -- most of whom self-identify as MAGA -- voted last week...

Just wondering.

After tonight, my guess would be they'll both be in the 7 range. That was an impressive win by the Hawks. You can bet members of the tourney committee were watching that game -- and the USC and UCLA games too.

People can complain about the refs all you want, but the ultimate gift by the refs in this game was giving Olson 3 FTs at the end on a shot where she was off balance, was not touched by the defender, and was given plenty of room to land after the shot. The questionable calls went both ways.

After hearing from Fran postgame, suspect it was a bit of all those things.

Agreed. He's played well enough this year to probably be recruited by D-1 mid-majors like UNI if he wants more playing time. I'd sure recruit him at this point: smart, usually in the right place, a decent defender, can score around the rim, hustles his ass off.
