    Best Iowa dunker of all time?

    It wasn't Iowa fans comparing them, it was national sportswriters. You evidently don't remember Jordan before he was Air Jordan and Marble before coke. And I go back to the mid 70's, Gerry Wright is the best I ever saw in an Iowa uniform. Marble was probably second with Davis a close 3rd...

    Our starting five is

    I've seen a couple of interviews with Fran where he has said they would "most likely" be starting 2 FR, a SO and 2 JR. That leads me to think - PG - Gesell SG - Marble SF - White PF - Mel/McCabe C - Woodbury I'd agree with those that say it doesn't really matter because of different...

    Alex Oriahki formerly of UCONN

    Only half. Seriously, my biggest problem with the transfers at ISU is the pure number of them, not that Fred is using them to build a team. One or two is one thing, half the team is a little different. And for the record, I don't care if they've been kicked off their old team if they stay...

    Looks like he just hit his head on the exit sign.

    First Glance Predictions for 12-13?

    Other than I think they get one fewer win in conference and a slightly lower seed in the NCAA, I agree. While the Gatens and Cartwright losses hurt, combine what they have back with what they are bringing in, there should be some improvement next year, though I think a bit less than this year...

    First Glance Predictions for 12-13?

    I'm thinking around 21 wins overall with a winning record in the Big Ten. They play the same conference schedule next year with the exception of the 4 one game teams, they flip those (OSU and Mich on the road, MSU and IL at home). They were close enoguh that even accounting for the upset wins I...

    they get no respect

    I agree. Speaking of which, did you see what the Tar Heels did to Georgetown today? Hmm, never see that mistake made, do you?

    Where the tourney gets it wrong...

    My bracket is still good. I have all 8 elite 8 teams left.

    Where the tourney gets it wrong...

    You people claiming the NBA gets it right and the NCAA gets it wrong do realize the NBA lets in a higher % of teams than the NCAA. And the higher seeds win the championship at a no higher rate than the NCAA. If Mizzou was truly deserving of a shot at the title they'd have beaten freaking...

    What if he hires who Iowa fans want as ISU coaches?

    Aaron White's season...

    That would at least somewhat make sense since AW is older than RDM.

    Last night's officials

    Yep, I DVR'd it and watched it after my kids concert, I already knew the outcome also, and the play where White went flying was the only truly bad call either way. There were a couple of non-calls that maybe should have been called, but nothing horrid. I said to my son at halftime that it was...

    Last night's officials

    There was a LOT of booing on calls that, when watched on TV, were actually the correct call. There were definitely calls missed, but nowhere near as many as the crowd reaction made it seem (the Gatens travel call in the second half being one).

    Tweeter, did you miss the "Valentine is an MSU commit" part?

    Woodbury Video

    Did anyone else notice, in both videos, how much he was getting fouled and still scoring or passing to a teammate? Being able to finish with either hand, in traffic and while being abused in the lane is much more impressive than being 7'1 and dunking once in a while. And to be honest...

    How will Iowa defend against the 7 footers on indiana and illinois?

    Don't shoot the ball unless you're under the basket all by yourself!

    ESPN down grades all 5 Iowa recruits

    When was Woodbury rated a 5* by ESPN? Last I saw he was 42 or so, and a 4*. Dropping 8 spots in the ESPN rankings will not cost you a spot in the McD AA game. A little more goes into it than that. And he probably wasn't highly likely to get in it anyway. Methinks you're overreacting a little...

    looking forward

    I'm not going to call Gabe the second coming of Hakeem, but he's better than you're giving him credit for. From what I saw of him in the PTL, he's got some decent low post moves, soft hands and great footwork. I don't see him ever being a go-to guy on the block, but it's not like the guy will...
