I have been wrong about Iowa and supporting Fran for as long as I did. I didn’t see a coach like this coming along. Long ways to go and we’re going to discover flaws, but man, what an upgrade Iowa basketball made this off season.

For any of the degenerates who rarely need an excuse to watch hoops, Xavier plays tonight at 730 on Fox Sports 1.

Yeah, I thought that even if his pt total wasn't better than OF the other night, he showed way more value and rebounded well, played good D and played within the offense. I don't know why I am watching this shit tho lol

Yeah, there was less than 8k at that game, we could have sat anywhere we wanted and again, it was a Saturday early afternoon. As someone who's been going to at least a few games a year since the early 90's it was quite clear how badly Fran needed to go. I was one of Fran's biggest cheerleaders...

I feel like the defense was scheme philosophy, coaching and effort. You should read how upset Creighton fans are RN about how South Dakota just attacked the shit out of the rim and destroyed Owen Freeman a couple nights ago. After having Kalkbrenner there for 5 years, it was eye opening, even...

right, but Fran's teams didn't look very athletic against the Robert Morris's of the world either. We're all trying to think of a PG that could dunk.

I've said this on like 5 different posts. How did we get 8 Drake guys and somehow become way more athletic? I don't remember an Iowa team dunking the ball as much as I saw the other night. Maybe they were just fired up.

Too early to tell and IMO, comparing apples to oranges when you look at NIL and talent. These 2 coaches aren't playing on the same court, so it's going to take some brilliant x's and o's and team chemistry to top Indiana.

While obviously I hope Katz is wrong....he WASN'T wrong on Fran's last 2 teams and I was pretty vocal on his twitter that he was wrong and an idiot. I was wrong, I was the idiot.

OABCIG, I’ve seen Jaxx play hoops and football against my nephew (Tri Center) a few times. Coop showed up to the BB playoff game in Harlan.

Saw him in Omaha recruiting on Friday, that's a long drive for nothing.

Seriously, I don't remember seeing an Iowa team dunk as many times as they did last night. I'm not sure that's a stat that's tracked, it was just noticeable for me.

We'll see if he even starts at Creighton tonight.

I went to the WI game at Carver last year in February. WI was ranked, there wasn't 9k or even close to 9k there that day. It was on a Saturday and WI was ranked, tons of red in stands. Last night's crowd looked as good as it has in some time at Carver sans a couple of big games with rivals...

It was under 5k for some B1G opponents, last night seemed like an entire culture overhaul

I was also overall impressed with just how many dunks we had last night. How did Iowa become more athletic bringing in 8 guys from Drake?

I was quite impressed by not only the student section, but the overall attendance. Most people I can remember seeing at Iowa for a season opener in a decade.

weak opponent or not, you have to like the way they went and just dominated RM on defense. 49-26 at the half. Fran's Iowa teams would been up big too but it would have been like 49-39 at the half.

I think he’s leaning on known to start the year, surprised he came in so late. New sheriff in town, whole new game now
