    OT: Flying Tush Push

    Perhaps it would be legal if they just picked up a small player and threw them over the LOS, without having that player launch off another player. You're right, that type of thing is the next logical step as long as they allow 'pushing' of your own teammate. I hated it when college ball...

    BTT

    That 1st quarter was a thing of beauty: 25-9. Dang. It took awhile for this group to jell, but really impressed with how Coach Jensen has melded the veterans with the Fr this season. I've also REALLY liked her substitute patterns these last 11 games. Each player is not necessarily sharp or...

    OT: Flying Tush Push

    I don't know about the pros, but in college ball you're not allowed to use anything other than the ground as a launching pad. For example, to block a FG, you can't run, and then jump off the back of your own player to launch over the OLinemen or block the FG.

    Is the Wash. State series on TV or streaming anywhere?

    Just wondering.

    Hawks Dancing With Wolves

    After tonight, my guess would be they'll both be in the 7 range. That was an impressive win by the Hawks. You can bet members of the tourney committee were watching that game -- and the USC and UCLA games too.

    L.A.Refs Screwing the Hawks vs Baby Blues

    People can complain about the refs all you want, but the ultimate gift by the refs in this game was giving Olson 3 FTs at the end on a shot where she was off balance, was not touched by the defender, and was given plenty of room to land after the shot. The questionable calls went both ways.

    Mulvey with a great game

    After hearing from Fran postgame, suspect it was a bit of all those things.

    Mulvey with a great game

    Agreed. He's played well enough this year to probably be recruited by D-1 mid-majors like UNI if he wants more playing time. I'd sure recruit him at this point: smart, usually in the right place, a decent defender, can score around the rim, hustles his ass off.

    Playoff Expansion and Play-in Games

    In what universe does it make sense to have a team that finished 6th in the BTen conference be in a playoff for the national title?

    Badgers

    Oh, I see that it was really just a 1-year extension. He was hired to a 7-year contract back in 2022, and it's been extended 1 year each of the 2 seasons he's been coach, so he continues on a 7-year contract. Paul Chryst never had a losing BTen season during his 7-year tenure as Wisky coach...

    Charred duck thread funner (more fun)

    Yeah, last night Peyton had every right to explode. I watched him exclusively a couple offensive possessions, and one time he was just standing still on the wing of the lane -- not setting a screen or anything -- and a guy just came up and literally body checked him HARD -- the guy didn't...

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

    Chad’s Hawk Central Article

    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.

    Hawks in the morning @ the Bucknuts

    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...

    Chad’s Hawk Central Article

    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...

    Hawks Vs Turtles!!!

    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.

    Where does Block fit in next year?

    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...

    Lucy vs the Red Knights

    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...

    Cornsuckers and refs vs Hawks game thread

    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...
