Thank you Seniors

I'm sure everyone will bash this thread because that is currently the cool thing to do. Especially Gessell for some reason, the hate of him is completely undeserved. Yesterday showed how valuable he is to the team.

-Uthoff: 2nd in conference in Pts, 1st in blocks
-Woodbury: Leading rebounder in Big Ten
-Gessell: 3rd in assists, 2nd in Assist/turnover ratio, 6th in steals (he's not a great shooter but does everything else well)
-Clemmons: A much improved player

Obviously the recent stretch has been incredibly disappointing but let's not forget they also put us through the most exciting stretch of Iowa basketball in recent memory.

The season isn't over yet, expectations are no longer there, go out and prove everyone wrong again.

Looks like second now. Costello passed him tonight I think.

Great Hawkeyes. Hope they can have a good/great March.

This senior class is special, they resurrected our basketball program. For that this class will always be one of the best in my mind. Gesell and Woodbury would have went to many other schools, Uthoff could have stayed at Wisconsin, Clemmons could have transferred and yet they took on the challenge of bringing back respectability to Iowa Basketball.
