Net Rankings as of 3-1-2025 I've been following the Net Rankings and before today's game with Wisconsin Iowa is at 27. What I have a problem with is UConn being ranked #1. UConn has an 11 - 3 record against Q1 and Q2 teams. It is 5 and 3 against Q1 teams. It has only played 14 games against Q1...

Here is the ugly. It is going to get more ugly, which I hate to say, but it is. Michigan State and then @Nebraska.

DiX, PA Sandfort, Dembele, Harding are a combined 4 of 20. Someone earlier described Iowa as ragged. It sure fits. Iowa can find no chemistry in this game.

Tonight is why McCaffrey's offensive philosophy doesn't work. Illinois can more than match Iowa in running up and down the court. Iowa's defense is really struggling with Illinois quickness. Illinois has owned the paint and tonight they are making 3s.Payton out of game as I write this. He was...

I checked the box score for a reason Iowa loss. One standout stat was Feuerbach was 2 of 8 and most of those shots were not 3 pointers. I wasn't able to watch the game due to not having Peacock. Playing Ohio State to overtime and UCLA by one point is though.

I didn't get to watch the entire game, but I did see Fran getting on the refs in the first half. The charge that Mulvey took, took some courage. The referees missed some travel calls. I usually don't complain about the refs, but this wasn't the best crew. Overall, I think the team held up...

It will be difficult to even make the Big Ten Tournament. They are 6 and 10 and tied with two other teams. They have three road games and one home game. @Ill, @NW, @Neb, MSU at home. They have been hanging in there but the close lost to Oregon was a killer. If they do survive they probably have...

Thankfully the season is almost over, six conference games left and they won't be favored in any of them. Fran did nothing in the second half to correct the poor play. Iowa often used little clock time before firing up difficult shots. It is why Maryland got so many easy baskets. Fran looks...

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.
