Well, yeah. But a reminder: IL leads the BT in rebounding.I have never seen a worse rebounding performance from the Hawks.
More $$ and retain Fran.With what? A promise their coach is coming back? More money?
Absolutely not! Unless the kids tell Fran they are done. Ain’t happening.So do you turn down the invite to the Crown or maybe the NIT?
That tells the story in a nutshell. Is that typical with Hawk BB? Nope. Please explain.We made 4 more FGs than the Illini
They outscrored us on on free throws: 24-5
Yup. Support the players. Fans can shut up and go away.No, ya gotta keep playing!
Who would that be? Put up or…If you have 4 or 5 guys opt out is it worth playing?

Rebounding is defense... Until you've gotten possession of the ball forcing up a missed shot is just half the battle... That's never gonna get it done. It's how South Carolina beat Iowas women by just chucking up shots and getting all the easy putbacks. In the mens case this was more about effort and ability more so then the womens where it was 98% about size.Rebounds
Iowa - 24
Illinois - 41
Can't win with those numbers.
I do find it to be in poor taste that the pressure to make these moves now. All the while the post seasons for most schools are going. Instead of all these coaches prepping their teams for the tournys they're on the phones with their agents and other schools negotiating another job. And recruits trying to flip em to follow them to the next job. I just wish it wasn't that way.If Iowa wants the dude at Drake, they better move fast.
Yep, it's all very transactional, which is not what Iowa basketball is....but it needs to adapt and get in the game, we've sat on the sideline watching enough. I hope Beth is aggressive, already has her top 2 or 3 guys vetted and knows their interests.I do find it to be in poor taste that the pressure to make these moves now.

I don't consider anything besides the NCAA tourny real post season hoops. For all I care I wish they'd do away with the NIT/Crown or whatever else they come up with to try and make a buck. 1 tourny for all the marbles is all that should matter. So for schools that aren't in like us I'm totally good with making their changes now.Yep, it's all very transactional, which is not what Iowa basketball is....but it needs to adapt and get in the game, we've sat on the sideline watching enough.
