    What's with Uhl?

    Over the past 2 months, it seems Uhl has been an invisible, non-contributing player. When he does get on the floor, he just dribbles around a little, sometimes stationary while bouncing the ball, sometimes drives the lane, then stops and dishes outside. Wastes a lot of time, never looking for a...

    Beautiful assist by Gesell; artful pushoff by Woodbury

    Fran drew it up and saved it for the final play of Game 1 of the Dance. I'm cool with it.

    Aaron White is pure class

    He gives a lot of credit to his teammates and coaching staff. He's a great teammate. Determined, strong, dedicated, tough, and a humble winner. He's my favorite Hawks player since Chris Street.

    McCaffery and staff really coach defense

    And the players are really executing. I love the way they switch and disguise their defensive schemes. I love the 3/4 court pressure with White hounding the ball handler. I've seen Indiana abuse quite a few teams this year with their dribble penetration. Not tonight. The Hawkeyes shut...

    Minutes distribution for starters and bench players last 4 games

    Average minutes per game: White - 34.5 Uthoff - 31.5 Gesell - 25.8 Clemmons - 24.0 Olaseni - 20.3 Jok - 18.5 Woodbury - 18.3 Oglesby - 15.5 Uhl - 10.0 Clemmons is getting the 4th most minutes, not far behind Gesell, and is getting more minutes than either post player. Sappy is...

    Give Purdue some credit

    I believe Lundardi has them OUT of The Dance right now. The Boilermakers are man-handling Ohio St in Coumbus, and lead by 12 at halftime. The two big guys are really shutting down the paint shots. Purdue has a great defensive team. Ohio St has been inconsistent in Big Ten games...

    I don't care what Lunardi says

    Wisconsin deserves a #1 seed. They've played 75% of their Big Ten games without their starting PG and Kaminsky missed the Rutgers game. The committee considers those factors, and Lunardi should too. Actually, I think the Badgers should be on the second line of the top 4, even if they don't...

    Sappy

    I normally don't complain about officiating

    But how does Olaf commit about 8 fouls and be called for 4? And the phantom call on Oglesby in regulation was a H-S call. Sorry, but that's how I saw it.

    Josh Oglesby's refusal to take shots confounds McCaffery

    Gabe O. really needs to step up down the stretch

    He's a senior, and the team is playing for a lot. I don't like Gabe's body language lately. He is putting his head down after turning the ball over, committing fouls, or missing shots. He is getting handled pretty well in the post, fumbling the ball a lot, missing offensive rebound...

    Watch out for the Gophers

    It's a revenge game for them. Of course, a huge border rivalry game. They are playing well and playing hard and hungry. They are playing very tight D and forcing tons of turnovers. Hollins is starting to get in a 'senior playing for pride' groove as well as their post players. They want...

    Any interesting stuff from McCaffery's radio show Monday night?

    I missed it. Any thing interesting come out of it?

    Slowly but surely, Peter Jok is improving on defense

    I noticed that Fran had Jok guarding Maryland's best player, Dez Wells, when Iowa opened up Sunday's game with their man-to-man. I thought Jok did quite well on D -- in all the schemes. Wells was very frustrated and he didn't get many shot attempts, and I think Jok had a lot to do with it...

    "He runs like a gazelle and leaps like a leopard"

    Mikey G. is ballin' I really like his aggressiveness, leadership, and management of the team. 9 assists, 3 turnovers, 4 of 5 shooting today.

    Purdue now holds sole possession of second place in the B1G

    And will be tied for second place with Maryland at 7-3 if the Terps win later tonight. Iowa's loss at Mackey is not a bad loss.

    Aaron White to play today!

    Iowa's defense will be key against Wisky

    I expect Fran will throw all kinds of defensive schemes against the Badgers. I would like to see them press more, and use more man to man and disguise zones. I would also like to see them avoid a double-team on Kaminsky. Let him get his 20 points. The guy is too much of a skilled big guy...

    Purdue is crushing the Hoosiers

    They look like they have a bunch of 4-rated stars on the court tonight. Anyway, they are playing with very high emotion, something I'd like to see from Iowa this Saturday.
