Illinois is getting quite the nasty surprise from this Nebraska team. Approaching halftime and they're down 13 at home.

Owens's running mate, Brock Harding, is definitely a plus for his new TCU team. Averaging double figures and running the floor show, although his shooting percentages could be better all around. Dix is the leading scorer for Creighton, with Freeman being fifth. Frankly, I've lost track of all the other ex-Iowa players who fled the scene when McCollum was hired. Or maybe it was the Coach's decision, who knows.

Publicly, those are the 3 that BM wanted and/or tried to keep. No idea what happened behind the scenes on who he attempted to keep.

Can we outbid the Huskers? Seems like that is the only thing that speaks to players these days.

Because he's allergic to playing defense.
Who cares glad he did. He's their problem now.
Sandfort is the one I'm jilted on having lost. He's everything we're missing. Combs and Howard can't shoot/score like him. Not even close frankly

This team desperately needs a secondary scorer, and Pryce would definitely fill that. But at what cost? Does that stunt Cooper’s growth or potential growth? Does Cooper even come back?
Would Pryce's defense be up to the standard that BMC demands? I would like to think so but not a given. I wish we could have kept him too.

Dix was the biggest loss in my eyes.

I'm fine with this team as it is. They'll probably struggle in the B1G this year but there's something with this team we haven't seen in a loooong time at Iowa. The whole team seems to gel. Lot's of good young guys and a breath of fresh air coach that has everyone engaged. I say let this thing play out, let it be a process, and don't upset the apple cart. It's going to take BMC a couple years to get it rolling and patience is ok here, IMO. I trust the guy so far.
