NC - that may very well be true but you forget the adjustment to "College Life" whether it be in terms of tougher classes requiring more study time, dorm life, and traveling a couple hundred miles prior to hitting the court in some cases and sleeping in a hotel room which can all add up to a...

I know Jon will be using a few shots from last night here for articles and such but given the performance I thought perhaps others might like to see a larger gallery which you can find over on facebook at: https://www.facebook.com/IowaSportsPictures Enjoy :)

The dilemma is this..."Don't play tomorrow and he gets another full week to ensure he comes back 100%" or "Play him tomorrow and risk the chance he re-tweaks or perhaps makes it even worse and it potentially lingers the entire season." Considering the Hawks should have upset MSU without him...

I believe it really comes down to conditioning which is something that has baffled me for the past couple of years. I love White's effort when he goes all out but if he truly looks to Gatens for advice perhaps the greatest lesson he could learn is how to play his butt off for a full 38min on...

I still contend the extra weight and muscle that he has put on has messed him up and then if you factor in a coach raves about how pure his shooting stroke is only to later begin "tweaking it" in hopes of getting a quicker release has served to also mess with his head. I would not be surprised...

I believe Woody is still adjusting to finishing after contact and may have been hurt a bit by the softer non-conference schedule where the Hawks seemed to get bailed out by the officials on the slightest bit of contact. It's not just him though as I believe White and Marble are expecting the...

Mel's FG% is down mainly due to shot selection as he has taken a lot more mid-range jumpers to date this year.

Additional observations from the past couple of games: * Iowa press not nearly as effective in conference play. I'd say partially due to opposing guard skill-level but also noticed at times our guys aren't quite as aggressive as they were on trapping in pre-season almost like they are trying...

Let's first just hope they make it through the regular season without any major injuries.

For those of you that may have missed the game, I've uploaded a few of tonight's game pics over on Facebook for some of the players and their fans :) http://www.facebook.com/iowasportspictures

Let's not forget to give kuddos to Fran & Co for not hesitating to start Clemmons & Gesell instead of being married to the idea of Mike as THE point guard with Anthony serving as the backup. Also, keep in mind that Mike has only been learning the #2 spot in this offense for a couple of weeks as...

Wasn't paying attention last night but I can say that both Aaron and Gabe have been warned at least a couple of times for this very thing during previous home games, especially for reaching forward with their arms.

I still don't know what to think about the viability of this "read offense" but I can say one thing. Yesterday I took my family to the game so of course I took along my camera. Even though I did not have a lot of "keepers" (mainly due to sitting in Row 65) I can tell you that I was able to...

Re: Does anyone else feel like we are less up-tempo than we were Fran's first two yea I believe the tempo will be dictated by whatever the staff feels is needed to get the win. There will be nights where they win by outscoring an opponent 84-78 and there may be games like tonight where the...

There will be nights where Gabe will see more time. Unfortunately, the biggest weakness to his overall game is on the offensive side of the ball and with the kind of hole that was dug in that first half they needed to put as many scorers as possible on the floor. I'd say that was also the...

I think the key will be on defense, especially using the press to force tempo. I really liked what I saw out of Aaron & Gabe at the point of the press combined with the added depth to help keep players fresh. My biggest concern remains the perimeter defense and their ability to shut down an...

Gesell had the best vertical according to their strength & conditioning coach during fall workouts which is what was also mentioned on the pre-game show yesterday. Of course minutes later they referred to May as the best "athlete" on the team and how Eric is hoping to stay healthy this season...

Purple halos are only when they take on those pesky wildcats from NW :)

For those wanting to get a little better idea and couldn't make the scrimmage last night, you can find images from the blowout on my facebook. To help kick-start the season, I included shots from the women's, men's bball along with even a few of the Dance & Spirit Squads...

bumpity bumpin' this post in case folks haven't seen it but still want to catch the action tomorrow night
