    I think it's fair to say that the bench has hit the proverbial wall

    Ellingson has shown flashes, no need to push him out the door just yet. I say, given the improvement we've seen in other players with this coaching staff, he should be given a chance. When Mike G. Went out if the MSU game with foul trouble I thought that spelled doom for us, but Brady did a...

    Carver Arena is BORING

    All lanes can't go away from Carver because there is a major hospital right down the road, among other things happening around the arena, like people who study and live there. ✌

    Dolph calls out students on pre game show!!

    The simple fact is that most students do not care enough about Iowa basketball to attend the games. Think about where the program was when they were in junior high and high school. They found other things to be interested in than college hoops. This will change. The long-time, loyal...

    IU - James Blackmon Jr.

    IDK he actually managed to get hired by UCLA. God only knows?

    Woody's missed dunk

    I see improvements on offense, and some pretty decent moves at times. The consistency is not there but progress has been made. i guess I don't get the same joy out of laughing at others' mistakes as some, but Woodbury will have to deal with those that do.

    Marquette win looking really good for Iowa!

    I don't mean to pick on you in particular, but your comment reflects a common attitude on these boards. So many seem to feel pessimistic about Iowa basketball in general. I would argue it is quite normal for good teams to not only scrape by against lesser competition, but to lose to it...

    Baer...take note Uthoff

    Love what Baer is doing, what a pleasant surprise! That being said, Uthoff has arguably been the best player on the floor in many of our games thus far. Frankly, this thread is just a head-scratcher.

    Mike Gesell's play

    Knowledge of the game is not a prerequisite for the forums....clearly. Many do seem to focus on tearing players down, I just never understood why. These are the most vocal posters and those who are ironically the most sensitive by far. OK, returning to happy thoughts. Congrats Mike on some...

    Woodbury

    Couldn't have said it better myself. I am DONE with these irrational and ignorant hatred of Woodbury threads. So he hasn't lived up to your lofty expectations? Deal with it. The team is better with him than without.

    My Hilton Experience

    Too bad OP had to deal with weird passive aggressive ISU woman. I've had trouble with a few Clone fans but you have to admit Iowa have our fair share. FWIW I didn't have a problem with the court stormin. It was a great comeback for them. I do think the booing is a bit excessive at Hilton but...

    more diverse, better offensive team

    They've been great with spacing and passing. Very pleased so far.

    Not Sure What To Think Of This Team--Yet

    We've seen some nice surprises so far, e.g. Baer. Conference play will be more physical and that is my biggest concern. It seems we don't always handle more aggressive teams that well. We also need to improve on defense, but luckily that is very coachable. The B1G likely not as good this...

    Dayton Flyers for real?

    My piano instructor is from Dayton and follows them closely. He is very very high on his team this year and is excited to see Dayton play the Hawkeyes. Thinks they might be better this year than last and have a good chance of beating Iowa.

    Student Section - Carry on the tradition, fill up your section

    Family and I will do our part. I can't judge the students too harshly, though. Some of them live pretty far away and it's nice they can get home for a week. Anyone in town better get their butts in the seats, though. No weather excuses will be granted!!

    How cool was the cell phone light show Saturday night at Kinnick?

    Most Journey fans probably don't have cell phones...:p

    Herbstreit has Iowa #7

    I'm sure he would tell you he is going by what he sees vs. only W-L and SOS. Say what you will, but I think Herbstreit is fair and genuinely believes that Oklahoma is a better team than Iowa. He's not on the committee anyway, so I won't fret over it. #7 is pretty good, no? Win out and prove...
