It's surprisingly not just the men as the women's squad was quite physical when they came to Carver.

I think the same or more could be said of Matt Gatens his senior season. You would start 3 scoring guards that also hold their own on the defensive end. You then also move White back to the 4 where I feel he plays his best and have Woody at the 5. That still theoretically leaves a bench with...

Props to the Hawks for knockin' down their free throws including a very impressive 11 of 12 by Gabe and Woody.

Don't forget the shot to the head Woody took. I know refs whistled a foul but it should have been a flagrant with IA getting the ball if I were to compare a similar call against IS in their game last night.

Michigan beat the Hawks by beating them in the transition game. Go back and count how many times their bigs were sprinting back for an easy bucket or mismatch. Every time Marble or White or anyone else hit the floor while driving and trying to draw a foul, the Wolves made them pay in transition.

It may very well come down to just how well both teams do at the free throw line. I'd love to see the Hawks get another quality one but I also think in terms of how Michigan is playing right now the Hawks are going to need their A game and they will need it from everyone the full 40min.

I wager to say the biggest contribution to Gabe's success has been the competition he gets each and every day of practice going against Woody and Melsahn over the past 2 years. Those guys are constantly pushing each other in a way that only a staff like Fran's can achieve. Perhaps one day it...

I don't recall exact words but let's just say they did not feel Woody should be on the floor after he missed the layup. What really got me was when I glanced over and then saw a couple of the MN folks actually laughing at the fact some of our own fans dislike him.

It's frustrating as a fan and even more so as a former coach to know one of your own who is busting his tale is perhaps getting jeered more IN CARVER than he does on the road. Some of the crap comments I heard on Sunday from the student section were simply uncalled for. Woody is still way...

Not to switch topics but if I was Aaron White I would be like "give me the ball" as he seemed poised to dominate in the second half and ciuld have forced tge 5th foul on 2 different players but the guards stopped giving him the ball.

Chauncey Leslie is another that comes to mind.

He resides in MN so I am not sure how many games he has been able to watch.

I would have liked to have made it down to Des Moines for the men's match-up but was equally glad to catch another women's game as Dixon continued to simply torch the nets from 3 with perhaps one of the quickest "catch-n-shoot" releases I have seen. Let's just hope they can stay deadly from...

My memory isn't what it used to be so I confess I had to check here to recall all of the various players available. Let me first just say how happy I am to see our current duo of Woody/Gabe after looking back at the overall lack of height. I would even include having Kyle Meyer in the wings...

I just keep reminding that although Cole played his junior season following the knee surgery it wasn't really until his senior or 2nd year afterwards that he truly regained his explosiveness. I am happy to see him on the team and fully expect a noticeable change from a pure physical standpoint...

I thought the fans overall helped keep the Hawks energized. That being said I have little respect for one "fan" in the student section who felt the need to openly taunt a couple of Iowa's own players.

Having the ability to leave one of your bigs in at the end of games is crucial so let's hope Gabe can keep it up and Woody continues to improve at the stripe.

Did folks notice they also had Fran coaching the Iowa Badgers when they showed his won/loss record.

just don't put the Hawks on any sort of sports magazine cover as I recall all too painfully well how that worked out for the football team a couple of years back :(

FYI - the photo being referenced was actually from the B&G Blowout evening which was very laid back all the way around. That was also the night Fran's intro included rolling out of the tunnel in a giant basketball which I think many fans, kids, and players alike enjoyed seeing. There is a time...
