I love it. There's literally nothing any trolls or naysayers can spew that doesn't have an obvious answer. I don't mean literally as in figuratively, as it's so often inexplicably used, I mean literally literally. Seriously, any criticism of this Iowa team or its accomplishments WITHOUT knowing...

Why are people agreeing with the post bashing early season officiating while at the same time taking shots at the Hawks for their early season shooting woes?? If the first one is real, the other one can't be taken for much as evidence for future performance. And the first one was backed up with...

As in my reply above, he does not know that and it would've been asinine for him to turn around to get a look in the area and situation he was in. Your worst case is inbounding under our basket and they catch it cleanly instead of it getting tipped and draining the clock.

I believe that mark was isolated to the Roy Williams era alone. On a similar note, he led a Kansas team against Iowa with a national-best winning streak at home one cold night. You know where this is going, obviously. But of COURSE it wasn't on December 3rd, ranked 12th, by 5 points! It on on...

Absolutely. Also he had his back to literally everything on the floor with his toes practically touching the sideline. Nothing good can happen there if he decides to turn around to see what's up.

NO! Heck no. Way too much time remaining and they were shooting with no effectiveness and less confidence. The time you want to foul in those situation is when the ball is being inbounded at the time he loaded up for that shot. Otherwise you give them two automatic points and good odds of them...

Honestly, tonight wasn't his breakout party. It started last year, I forget exactly starting at which point but I posted all the stats and info. It was something to the effect of his stats since B1G play started or since January being 14 points 6 assists. I really wish I knew what it was but...

First and foremost: Anthony Clemmons starting and getting big minutes makes 2-2 a reach more than a disappointing start. Now with the obvious out of the way, people are forgetting just what pre-season means. We're using last year's team and dropping Dickerson where Marble used to be...

Visited on 10/9 but didn't commit until three months before the visit? I'm skeptical. Though I am puzzled to see him that year. I don't know why I forgot the class we just now graduated, but the year after that Aaron White is going to be the strongest recruit, so I was off a little on the...

This is the part that's going to make people cringe, though I'm refusing to accept that as to why Reggie Evans suddenly became Darryl Moore. Nothing to sneeze at, but extremely guardable. Five 20-point games that season, four 15+ the rest of the career. I wonder if Cartwright was better than we...

Absolutely, if not for the little setback of being slightly wrong, though I see where the confusion comes in with Texas. They aren't *listed* as having an official offer, and although obviously having the offer is not one in the same as having interest, he wasn't "recruited hard". Texas had five...

No, they actually were not low seeds, not any other time they won it. Just this year. And again, in a year where this kind of outlandish anomaly is possible I find it no accident those teams getting through happened to own 6 of the last 18 titles.

Don't let the fact we win a battle like this every year sway anyone's opinion that we can't win a battle like this. Starting with Dickerson and dating back to day one with Marble, there isn't a high profile player missing from a single class, all cover the criteria that Huff falls under...

Awfully short memory there. We've already dismissed a BCS season, which could be important since it's the entire basis of how disappointing 2010 was, while we're only counting a single dismal season, which could be important since it's the entire basis of how we have a losing B1G record. Nothing...

Kentucky was in the Bracket of Death. Every team who had to advance in said Bracket of Death to make it the toughest on them advanced. They were the outlier; zero breaks handed to them. The biggest break they got was playing a scorching Wisconsin team who qualified under every category you spoke...

And seriously ISU fans trying to evaluate a guy like Jok, stop it. You know nothing about developing talent. You do not know what this looks like. You build off of other programs and then you storm the court after winning a home game against us. You don't know the first thing about Jok in...

Gesell cannot be held to some unfair standard that this season set. With the baffling depth this roster had as well as Senior and overall upperclassman depth, our true natural talents were left without a chance to truly develop or take a visible next step. Our true natural talents, of course...

Guys don't commit like Dickerson does. He made up his mind before the visit. When it's not a situation like that and you're followed by other schools on the list it will never feel like a good situation. In the past, he has said he wanted to play with Dickerson. In the past, he expressed concern...

I'm serious enough to drop the Purdue game as well if it means Atwood following suit. Without blinking. Obviously that's not happening and if it did it would be purely coincidental. Hmmmm, but on the off chance let me try something: BASKETBALL GODS, LISTEN UP!! GIVE US ATWOOD, TAKE PURDUE GAME...

Actually I'm so excited I put in several ways of looking at it, lol. My intention was to only have the TD angle. I could be wrong about whether or not this type of loss is good for us but we are certain of one thing: Zero bad losses did nothing for us. That one is a moral certainty.
