What are we hearing about sick players?

This always makes me wonder about team chemistry. A problem wirh one is a problem with another, but one could argue Woody and Mike were luke a package deal.

We are not a half court team and therefore have to get points off defense and pushing the ball. As has been stated here so often when you have a limited number of guys who can create their own shot you have to find other ways to score. We are doing what we do well. As long as we take care...

Harris is a better pro prospect and gets the media love. He'll be the guy IMO. Michigan has a tough stretch of games comining up and teams have figured out how to defend them. It would not surprise me at all to see Craft come in second as he too is a media darling and OSU looks to have a...

I'm on just a few drugs, but as I was sitting in the doctors office thinking about the game I dawned on me that Nigel Hayes probably won't see much action tonight. Better living through chemistry.

At Ohio State we got one of Dev's best games and protected the ball very well (especially the bench). It was as close to a full 40 minutes of good ball as the Hawks have shown all year. I believe teams have finally understood that the key to the Iowa offense is transition and if OSU gets back...

I thought we played great defense , we missed free throws, we have no half court offense, and no closer. The officiating has been awful all year for everyone and we still haven't learned to win. Definitely disappointed with the loss, but we've got more games to play. As a team we need to...

the team. There were a lot of guys who didn't play well and didn't lead. We need more from our bench and much like Baylor we struggle against very athletic teams. Michigan isn't long and we may have missed an opportunity to take better advantage of that. Mel and Woody showed up early and...

This team has the talent to beat most anyone on any given night. They also have shown they will lose games they should have won. Let's enjoy the ride and know these Hawks will give us their best effort and many wonderful moments this season.

I think you can count on Payne playing and being ready to go. Dawson's issue has been being mentally ready to go. That won't be an issue. Certainly some of their other bigs have shown flashes of being difference makers. I'm all for enjoying a victory, but I choose to temper my enthusiasm with...

We saw a much improved shot selection and a much greater willingness/ability to share the ball at crunch time from Dev vs. OSU. He continued to work on the defensive end as well. In the past putting the ball in his hands at the end of games often resulted in him going one on one and forcing a...

Running consistent routes and quickness out the breaks are as important as raw speed. We often round off breaks and change of direction is not quick enough to cause separation. Yes, you need a deep threat, but give me an every down receiver with hands who can also run block and get off the jam...

At home Wisky is very tough. Before I crown them great I'd like to see them on the road in a tough environment and see if the three's drop at the same rate and the defensive intensity is there. IL has talent, but not a team as of yet. They did play much better in the second half and WI didn't...

Just shooting ft's in practice isn't the key to knocking them down under pressure. If you've got a flaw in your stroke and are working to change it practice pays dividends (see Woody). To put up a couple of hundred extra. ft's at the end of practice and after intense conditioning won't ensure...

Mike took some quick three's and it seems we went away from White when he put the team on his back after Fran's exit. Dev took his share for sure, but I thought he was generally feeling it and didn't have many issues with the shots he put up. Pushing the ball and upping the tempo was good...

I had hopes we'd close out the recruiting strong, but with Jennings, Young and now Wallace elsewhere I wonder who the final scholarships will go to.

Every league game is going to be a battle. To think otherwise is begging for failure. We'll be getting the "top teams" best shots too. No way do the Big Ten's rankings stay looking this good because teams will be beating up either other up. As long as we stay injury free I think we'll be in...

A nice way to prepare for the Holiday season ;) Jennings was also a Rutgers commit at one point that would be a nice addition as well. If we can get Wallace and key defensive guy or two we'll have a nice end to this 2014 class. Given next years schedule and our start to 2015 we should have...

Izzo gave him a nice sendoff and I would hope Fran does the same. Anything less could work against the Hawks in future games. Referee's are a tight fraternity and a Carver crowd booing Eddie out of town would be remembered in my opinion.
