Yeah Emely when she gets a rebound has that bull in a china shop mentality of being a 1 player fast break. Sometimes it works out awesome and sometimes she'll put up a tough forced shot. But I agree she's been way more good then bad and I'm excited for what she brings. I'd like to see her get...

Had em stuck on 30 forever it seemed like... I was just glad Molly got her moment/day. I'm still bummed about how her career ended. To not get to play in the BIG or NCAA tournys that yr was criminal. Life isn't fair and sports isn't either I suppose. I'm glad she's so well appreciated by the...

Fran would mix defenses he had them play man to man and then some different zone concepts and 3 quarter court trapping. I liked how he'd shake things up sometimes by doing that but he just never got the guys bought in or taught to emphasis it as much. On paper they should've been better then...

MG was strong and sneaky athletic. Just didn't have great touch shooting outside. As good of a defender we've had at the PG position besides his running mate Clemens who like him was a bit of a limited offensive player. But he's still playing pro hoops over seas btw.

Truest words I've seen put out there on this whole transition of coaches & players. Dix is pretty much the only one I wish we woulda moved heaven and earth to have tried to keep. Freeman as good as he is is still a limited player inside. No range not a good FT shooter seemed almost lazy at times...

Yeah it's sad for us old heads that the Rose Bowl is what it is now. Nostalgia just doesn't mean anything. A part of that is on our generation for not doing a good job of passing that sort of thing down. If anything it's too bad UCLA was in the middle of such a crazy long lease with them to...

Brutal.... The difference between being 10-2 and 8-4 isn't very damn much... I don't have much faith in beating USC on the road. And I hope we beat Neb but who even knows how we'll do against them I wouldn't bet the farm on it either way. The air has been taken completely out of the sails for me...

Yeah Caseys is where it's at to me. CiCis is another of those cheap places that I used to love going to in DSM when I lived there. They had brownies and cinnamon rolls to die for and pizza was that thin kind you could eat a bunch of. I ate way too much of it in my 20s at the one on the southside...

Was it that high? I'd have to look back but I seem to remember it being well below that. Like 5-6 k tops with tickets sold with less then that showing up. Either way if attendance and overall apathy wasn't as bad as it was Fran woulda got a 16th yr. Fran didn't seem to want to acknowledge that...

On ESPNs site he has his top 68 teams ranked and guess what? He doesn't have Iowa as one of em. He's got a whole lotta other BIG 10 teams in there but none of them are Iowa.. I hope someone lets Ben know. Whatever chip on shoulder motivation they can get I'm sure it wouldn't hurt to put that up...

Oh it's safe from JuJu for sure. USC has been landing stud recruits left and right I think they got the #1 recruit for this yr and next yrs class. Even when JuJu comes back next yr the team she's going to be on will be totally different then last yrs. They won't use her the same way as a one...

Yeah that Milkey has their finger on the pulse they are usually pretty on it. I kinda thought ND was our biggest competition for her. That'll be a bummer if true no way around it. But if we land Bjorn that'll more then make up for it.

6 dudes in double figures with 2 others a bucket away from it. Yeah that's a coaches dream pretty much. Too bad that won't be maintainable. But hey it's a roster of guys that can put the ball in the basket and seem to know their roles and what's a good shot for them. Shot selection is so huge...

For shits and giggles I was curious when Penn gets started which is Friday and then I was wondering about who on Frans staff may have followed him out there cause all I knew for sure was that Gatens didn't and he went to Auburn. Well turns out Spurlock is the only Fran holdover from Iowa that...

9k I think is what I heard... I was hoping for north of 10k but it's a start. Was never going to be a snap of the fingers fix. What were some of last Fran games? 5k or less? it was pretty damn bad

Yeah getting up 17-2 or whatever it was right out of the gate was awesome. Just put a stranglehold on them. I agree Frans teams could build a lead like that but they'd have a 4 min plus complete laps on D and let em make a run. I don't think Bens teams will give up such things very often.

Overall it was a great start. Plenty to nitpick over but the vibe and how the guys played hard was fantastic. For those that thought we were going to be getting Lickliter ball 2.0 I hope that game may have put those thoughts to rest. Did Lickliter ever hit 100 in a game? And don't get me wrong...

I'm not sure about everything he did and the context of it but one of the things he did was he was getting into it with the staff at the bar... So to me I'd have sat him at least 1 game. That's just it. Cause say he has a strike 2 then what?

Heiden and Stuelke are going to be the leaders of this team. They are who can put the ball in the basket consistently regardless of the opponents. Those two need to stay healthy and out of out of early foul trouble at all costs. How well this team will end up being will be decided by how well...

Evidently he's getting an in house slap on the wrist for his fighting at the bar deal.... I woulda thought he'd get a 1 or even 2 games for that sort of thing but whatever all Ben is doing it's all behind the scenes and in house. So there's a precedent being set. Hopefully we won't find out what...
