Pretty stark contrast between schools like Iowa and others in / out of the big 10 and ISU, New Mexico, Oregon, etc. Seriously, do these programs troll for transfers? The odds seem long for some random player from (insert name of school) to suddenly decide to transfer to Eugene, OR, Ames, IA...

White and McCabe were huge, but Cartwright had 11 assists (career high) and only 2 to's and Basabe, despite being under the weather, came up big when we struggled to score in the second half. I didn't envision a scenario where we win with Gatens being held in check.

No more excuses about confidence, weight, injuries, getting enoug reps, etc. The team needs to man up Tuesday night and take care of business. I hope to see Iowa come out jacked up and be the aggressor without the 6:00+ minute mental lapses that result in turnovers and poor defense. Dayton...

Until today's game I was convinced we needed a scoring 3 for next season. After watching Green, Payne and Nix have their way down low, I wonder if McCaffrey is looking at any rent-a-post juco players. McCabe and White play their tails off, but both give up too much size / weight down low. We...

No doubt he is done at IL. --Commented about no free throws today (which is odd) and how a bad call cost them the MN game. --Said when Maniscalco got hurt they lost their leader and a freshman has been their leader since then. Said it's kind of sad when a freshman is your leader. --Said...

Just saw that Charlie Coles announced his retirement after the conference tourney loss. It would seem Lickliter was brought in to be the coach in waiting.

Did not sound like last scholie will be used. Said it would have to be the right fit/ compliment to existing / incoming players. Mentioned Olaseni may have a chance to play on British 20 and under national team this summer. (may be big surprise next year) Talked about getting on Marble for...

Received a couple emails from friends in KC about this rumor circulating on message boards and local radio. I hope it's not accurate, as Martin would tear it up in IL IMO. Any other names being mentioned?

Pretty hard to fathom how we went virtually the entire second half without getting Gatens any looks or even touches. Shurna touched the ball on probably 90% of NW's possessions, but the only clean look we can get for Gatens is from 27 feet? Cartwright's turnover was a killer, but we had...

Hopefully we can rekindle some of the old Carver magic this afternoon. Rock Carver - YouTube

Props to Cartwright for giving us a boost when nobody else could. He made some poor decisions, but without his assists and unexpected scoring, the game would have been much closer. When announcers say we have no post presence, they are being kind. I cannnot believe Basabe was a non factor...

1) Why did we press IL? They are faster and more athletic at every position and we were doing a decent job in our half court D. At least 3 shot clock violations and IL struggled to get into their offense. 2) How do we not get Gatens looks for extended periods of time? IL played tough D...

Who are your picks to do some damage in March? 1) Wichita State 2) New Mexico (hope not, but they are on a roll) 3) ISU (double ditto to above, but they will be a tough matchup) 4) Indiana (hard team to prepare for with lots of shooters)

Jon and others, Any suggestions how to eradicate this? It has been a constant the past few days. It is a dancing pop up box that says "you won an Ipod click here, etc." Thanks,

Why do we have a very challenged offensive lineup on the floor when we struggle mightily in the last 6 minutes of the first half? I fear we will go into half down by 12 with a group of non shooters and Oglesby.

I have no doubt our perimeter defense will improve with the addition of Gessell, Clemmons and Ingram, but we need somebody down low with Cole's work ethic and Doug Thomas hops. I hope the staff can find a juco or transfer who is one of those born rebounder types. The dude does not need to be a...

1) Continuing to run Basabe out there as a starter is becoming offensive to me as a fan. I don't care if it's Archie, Brommer, Olaseni or Stokes, but put somebody on the floor who acts like they care. 2) Every week McCaffrey talks about what he wants from Cartwright and and how Bryce is not...

What makes up "that guy" on message boards? You know, the guy who really does not want to discuss the topic of the actual forum they are in like "Iowa Basketball". Instead they spend their time creating obscure posts about unrelated topics, going to great lengths to search the Internet for...

McCaffrey better peel some paint in the locker room. Every player looks scared, hesitant and intimidated offensively. Stop the stupid spin moves in traffic and take a jump shot. Forget taking it at OSU in the paint, it ain't happening. OSU's 10th guy is more athletic than anyone we have, so...

Didn't know this was taking place, but it should be a good test for both on Friday night. After MG's performance in the AZ tourney, I don't feel like we are losing that much by not getting Paige.
