Fran has not come close to Mr. Davis's level. Not even scratching the surface.

I read that she said, "pro ball". She did not say, "NBA". After reading this I am of the opinion that he will not be back at Iowa. He's not an NBA player at this point. Not even close. It's debatable whether another 1-2 years at Iowa will help or if he's better served playing overseas/G-League...

HawkGold, what have you published? I'm an avid reader (English teacher) of American history. I'd love to read your work. bp

I love basketball. I love Iowa basketball. I grew up watching Lute and Mr. Davis. The anniversary of the passing of Chris Street brings a tear to my eye each year. I love that Coach Fran brought us back from the depths of apathy. That said, Iowa basketball is tough to watch right now. I didn't...

It's maybe a different scenario but I coached a kid who went this route. He played college ball in the U.S., was drafted 2nd round, signed with a team in Spain, and now he plays in the League. I would bet that Jok returns. Everything will run through him next year. He will be grabbed...

It's strange to say, but I actually think it's a bad thing if we start off hot from 3. We then fall in love with the 3 ball and don't run offense/move the ball. I'd like to see us run a lot more high/low with Woody and JU. Fran also runs some nice screen-the-screener action inside to get JU the...

This is the best thing. Ever. @bpiercehawks

Jok played some good offensive ball this year. That said, he played 15 mins vs the Zags b/c he was worse than atrocious on defense. I see Clemmons staying in his coming off the bench role. I think our team knew their respective roles better than last year. That's one of the reasons why I...

Yeah, it's best to try to keep their guards from getting it with momentum going toward the basket. Keep them in front of you. Easier said than done. Once he beat our defender to the sideline I thought, oh crap. Thankfully we contested the shot at the rim, otherwise he doesn't double clutch...

For me all signs point to the Goofers breaking out in a big way against us. I hope the squad proves me wrong. Go Hawks!

The Gophers have been in games/leading games but they haven't finished this year. Their guards, who I like a lot, have been struggling. Please, someone, tell me that they won't shoot the lights out. Career night for whom? I think I'm a little negative/bitter about Hawkeye sports lately. Our...

This is spot on in my opinion. The best I have read. Well done.

I dislike the Clowns. That said, Fred seems like a great guy and he's a doing an amazing job. My guess is that he could have most any job he wants with a few exceptions, both in college and the pros. Go Hawks!

No. Let me know if you have any other questions.

Everyone is entitled to his/her opinion. Thankfully, many people don't know much about basketball.

I'm a bit surprised that many have been down on this squad. Yes, it would have been nice to win a game in the Garden, but I feel very good about this group. We are getting excellent production out of White, Uthoff, and Woody. In my opinion, Woody has really stepped up this year. He does so...

How about you go with too...? Is that asking too much?

The Hawkeyes take on North Dakota State tonight at Carver. NDSU is coming off an 85-50 loss to #10 Texas. It's always nice to compare the results of mutual opponents. The big thing I'm looking for is the field goal percentage the Hawks allow vs NDSU. Instead of comparing points allowed...

I wrote the following for a blog. I basically wanted to learn how to post a blog. Go Hawks! http://eclectichawkeye.weebly.com/ Iowa Basketball – Thoughts Iowa will need to have a few players step up to help with the loss of Roy Devyn Marble. I think that Gesell and Uthoff will both...

Good win. That said, there were a few bad things. Hopefully it was because of the number of games we played, travel, etc... This team does not have a defensive stopper on the perimeter. May did a great job last year, Gatens the year before (how someone could say player development isn't...
