Nice win. 1st half til the last 2 mins of it felt a tad dicey. We gotta play smarter and not commit early/dumb fouls. That 2nd on Hannah was terrible. To commit that out on the wing hedging was so not necessary at all. Lucy has to as well she got herself in foul trouble too. Beyond that we...

Once she gets her legs a little stronger and can give herself a strong base so she doesn't get knocked off balance when posting up & playing defense look the hell out... She can score with either hand around the rim. She didn't show it today but she can hit that 15 ft elbow J like O'Grady. Ava...

How many will be playing their 1st yr at Iowa next yr?

Gross... No thanks to hiring that retread. I'd hire Gatens before him. To me Gatens is literally the last resort to me. If we swing and miss on Ben M and anyone else that might be worth a shit then give me Gatens. Not a Pitino or that MS State guy either.

Yup yup yup. Not totally certain about the failing part. But I'd say based on the last 10-15 yrs of recent history that if he doesn't get off to a hot start that his leash will be very short. He probably wouldn't get a 3rd yr if they aren't dancing either of the next 2 yrs. Those are some tough...

There's a handful of reasons for coaches to leave 1 job for another and often times those reasons bleed together 1. More $ 2. More prestige/bigger school 3 Get out ahead of the posse (Alford leaving Iowa for NM) 4 Going home People prioritize those differently sometimes. Had IU hit on any of...

Isn't Iowa pretty saturated with casinos as it is? I'm all about outside the box thinking and maybe this sort of thing could fly with the right folks behind it. We need something that's for sure.

Yeah... I don't think people realize how rough it's probably gonna be for hoops for the next few yrs. There's a better chance of Iowa being the doormat for the next 2-3 yrs then being in top 10 of the BIG during that same time. Till they have solid coach and NIL $ to some sort of reasonable...

Yes you do. Fran had to go. He couldn't be brought back and have CHA 2/3ds empty again. The transfers that we are seeing now most of them were all going to be doing that regardless of Fran staying or not. Freeman, Harding and Dix were all gonzo anyway. Would it have been a home run to have...

Yeah that'd sure keep lawyers busy.. The players all come and go too fast. NFL running backs have longer careers then the good d1 athletes all do. The first order of business after signing LOIs will be to sit down for CBA talks. I don't see how that's a feasible thing at all. Just too many kids...

Yeah I never looked at that being any kind of field leveler either because of what you'd wrote and kids are always going to just want more NIL above and beyond too. The Swarm isn't going to not have a place. There's no such thing as 'enough' for these players so long as they can get more they'll...

Yes to every word of this. The ADs coaches are all just mad at one another... Because they can't control themselves. The NCAA coulda shoulda read the tea leaves back when Ed O'Bannon started up his suit. Had they just done obvious things back then this would all be old news. But that NCAA had...

If that kid that left IL for KSU got 2 milly I'd say Josh is worth not a penny less then that. But that NIL world is insane. Will he stay local and go to ISU or Creighton? Or to highest bidder? He's gonna have options

Yeah that'd sure be wild. He's not even close to 40 yet is he? Wouldn't be the craziest thing ever but it probably wouldn't be ideal for awhile that's for sure.

Butler totally sucked this yr so yeah every star is aligned. All I know is Fran isn't going to take another gig until he knows that isn't a possibility. One way to make that happen if say it's just Fran and his former OSU coach buddy Matta colluding would be for him to not step down till like...

Good question. They are aways off from that though I'd think. I'd bet we'll have a coach before the final 4 gets here. And that's what 3 weeks out or so? I'd say that's worse case scenario... If it takes longer then that just make Matt Gatens the coach

That'd be just too slick if Fran were to just slide into that job. He'd keep Connor on staff and coach Jack. Probably give Patrick a cushy GA job. So slick I'd accuse it of being orchestrated.

BTN really drops the ball on these. They need to show em all. Maybe not all can be live since some overlap. But my gosh what the hell else do they have to show? Softball? Give me a break. Absolutely nothing gets more ratings then football. Send BTN folks out to interview coaches & players and...

Had Fran been back everyone pretty much assumed we were losing Freeman & Harding anyway right? Obviously Sandfort and Thelwell graduated. Dix hasn't gotten in portal yet so he's a question mark at this point. But regardless that's a lot of holes needing to be fixed and it woulda remained to be...

What a total tool he is. There's some in Indiana still wishing they'd have gotten him at any point these last 20 yrs. It's pretty wild. He's still toiling away at Nevada stealing $ pretty much. That'll probably be his last major stop. He just had a pretty bad yr and they won't fire him I bet...
