Thanks for the updated info Rob. Dang it I was afraid of this, CJ has become a pivotal part of this team not only for his scoring but his defense as well! Really need Bakari to step up his level of play on both sides of the ball!! Dan Wemett

Thanks for sharing! That is really interesting,although I really don't care for the Badger's or their style of play I have always respected the toughness & heart that Kaminsky played with. I think Badger fan's would be surprised if they seen the similarities between Frank & Luka. rwtsracefan

Thanks for the info Rob! Danny W

Any body got any news on CJ's ankle? I'am hoping not to serious as the bench is really getting thin. Also think if he would have been on the floor late 2nd. half CJ would have helped with defense on Brockington who carried PSU late in the game. Any info appreciated! Danny W

Have not seen any numbers for attendance for Sundays NIT game at Carver. I was at game with my kids and it sure looked completely full to me. Just curious. Thanks for any info in advance.

During the Iowa vs Purdue basketball game broadcast on Sunday on the Big 10 network right before a commercial break one of the camera men had a shot of the student section and about 3 rows up from the bottom their was C.J. Bethard! Nice to see our Quarterback supporting the hoops program...

Ah yes, the honeymoon phase of Alford's tenure at UCLA is over and the real Steve Alford is exposed! I'm so glad that part of Hawkeye history is in the rear view mirror. Thank God for Franny!! rwtsracefan(Dan Wemett)

Your right Dawg, I just watched it 3 times and can't get enough! Great job runnin' the floor big fella!!! rwtsracefan(Dan Wemett)

Gesell & Clemmons have both really stepped up their play and are both doing a great job leading this team! I would also agree that Peter Jok has really improved his defense. To see him go from being a liability on defense to see him getting steals and hustling defensively is a testament too...

Great start up 11-0!! GO HAWKS!! rwtsracefan(Dan Wemett)

Wow what a start up 9-0!! GO HAWKS!!! rwtsracefan(Dan Wemett)

Just got done listening to Gary Dolphin and Bobby Hanson on the radio pre game show. Dolph said that the fan support from the U of I students was and I quote "Pathetic"!! Common U of I students get behind this basketball team and show them your support! Need great home court advantage!! GO...

Just checked Real time rpi & the Hawks are up to #9! Amazing what quality road wins do for your RPI and strength of schedule! Gotta keep it going Hawks, next up Michigan! GO HAWKS!! rwtsracefan(Dan Wemett)

Sapp thanked ISU for teaching the Hawks to not let up when you have a big lead. Very proud of this team for learning from adversity and being a better basketball team because of it. I also want to make note of the fact that the coaching staff did a great job with the 9 day lay off. The Hawks...

Well said, I really do like Clemmons on defense but he does make me a little nervous when running the point. I do think his(Clemmons) decision making seems to have really improved this season. When Gesell is running the point the offense definitely to runs smoother. rwtsracefan(Dan Wemett) .

I don't know that it works that way at the U of I, that is why I posted in question form. I do know that it does work that way at other universities. Again any help with this question would be appreciated. rwtsracefan(Dan Wemett)

I just don't understand how some fans can question Mikes play. I feel like he has really stepped up his play in all area's. One thing I really like is his willingness to be aggressive and go to the basket, Mike is quicker then most people think and can create his own shot. Great job Hawks the...

I never wish for Hawkeye losses but sometimes those tough close losses early in the season help to refocus and toughen a team too the point it pays off later in the season. Would have loved too have gotten the ISU game in particular but hey, if that loss makes us better later in the season I...

Correct me if I'm wrong but Fran's son's will be able to attend the U of I for free because of there Dad being a University employee correct? Which means that they can be walk on's without having to pay tuition or using up valuable scholarships. Again I don't know the rules or details in this...

My 13 yr. old daughter just sent me this TXT "Hey Dad, Hawks scored 20pts in first half and 50pts in second half, nice half time adjustments by Fran" couldn't have said it better myself!! That is 2 top 15 wins in a week! GO HAWKS rwtsracefan(Dan Wemett)
