You gotta be kidding me. Frozen at his same salary as 2024?!!

I'm tired of hearing people describe Carver as "old, beat up, tired", etc. Makes me wonder if you folks have ever visited any other BTen arenas? Been to Williams Arena? Been to Mackey Arena? Been to Assembly Hall where the roof is literally falling into the stands? Geez. Carver is in solid...

10,000 seats would tie Washington for the 16th smallest arena in the BTen.

I'm an old man and have watched lots of mens and womens hoops over the decades, but I don't think I've ever seen a team go on a 9-1 run in 15 seconds at the end of a close game. Home or away. In a Power 5 game. Ever. That was nothing short of miraculous. Now, UNI lost a 9 pt lead with 1...

I agree with this post, with the caveat that the brand of ball Mr. Davis played would probably not be as successful in the modern BTen. Back in the day, Iowa could count on a handful of BTen wins because of their press alone. Northwestern would literally have trouble crossing midcourt vs the...

I don't think so. Geez, just in their most recent game on the road at Rutgers he had 26 points and carried the team on his back to victory! I just thought he looked flat-out sick yesterday -- nose was running and he looked like hell. And his shots were all coming up short, which is unusual for him.

I was wondering about him. Flashed some strong offense earlier this season and I thought he was gonna be the answer at 141, then if I remember correctly he got teched in a match, and it seems like it's been Shriever ever since. Shriever seems like a good defensive wrestler, but Block seemed to...

Trust me, you didn't miss much. May have been the worst college women's game I've ever seen. (BTN+ came through clearly on Mediacom.) Iowa turned the ball over, had several shots rim out early, and scored only 10 pts the entire 1st quarter...trailed 10-14. Rutgers struggled to score the rest...

Certainly not a coincidence that Iowa's win streak has coincided with Lucy getting her groove on. If the Hawks run into a team that can shut her down defensively, it will be an uphill battle, but until then her game is a thing of beauty when she's hitting shots. Impressed with Coach Jensen's...

Yeah, I'd put the 2016 Rose Bowl and the recent loss to the Maize & Blue in the BTen title game as the two worst -- because they were the two largest stages.

True. But Spencer has always been stronger at the beginning of matches compared to the end. If you're gonna get him, you're gonna get him in the 2nd period.

My goodness -- Middle School meets in Iowa have more fans in the stands than that tourney! Thanks for posting. Really appreciate it.

This is a funny post. I've been unimpressed with Indiana's current coach for a few years, and recently asked my friend in Indiana why the Hoosiers haven't fired him. He replied that Indiana folks seem to have realized that they're not going to get the top recruits anymore, and figure he's as...

...either in-person or on TV -- missed a doozy! Hawks down 16-9 with just two matches to go; got a Fall and Major Decision to win 19-16. When Buchanan got a Fall late in the 3rd period to pull Iowa within one point -- BOOM! I literally propelled off the couch. And I ain't a young man! Damn.

Heck, growing up in Waterloo we were cutting weight in Jr. High! But by the time my sons were in Middle School in the early 2000s, they'd eliminated weight classes and just matched guys up according to whatever weight they weighed in at that day. A good change.

That was a gutsy win vs an 18-5 team on the road. You can tell that the USC game has re-instilled the confidence to win games like this -- I say 're-instilled' because Affolter, Feuerbach, Stuelke, et all have experience winning close games, just not with this group of gals. Now, you can tell...

Agreed...Kylie is sort of the team's defensive specialist.

I get your point, but would disagree with the 'inexperienced' label. Kylie started 24 of 28 games as a Freshman when at Iowa St., and by the last half of the 2023-24 season was usually playing 15-23 min/game for the Hawks. That's more than a 'bit role player'. As you point out, Syd played...

I'm a little baffled by all the references to the Iowa women's team being "so young". Holy cow, their starting lineup consists of: Senior, Senior, Senior, Senior, Junior. In what universe does that qualify as "really young"? Of course the backups are young, but geez, folks, keep it real.

Just read that Freeman is out for the remainder of this season. Ouch. Time to see what Mulvey can do -- doubt that he'll average 16 pts/game like Freeman, but I can see him averaging 10pts and 7 rebounds pretty easily if he gets all of Freeman's minutes.
