have us in "Bracketology" if the first brackets were out Monday?
How many teams this early have two wins against top 25 teams? And are undefeated, I bet it's a small list.
Let's hope Barta takes note. These are the types of non cons the players want to play, not directional schools that Rand McNally couldn't find.Let’s hope Oregon ends up being a great non conference win for the hawks. Not sure where UConn will end up but either way that’s a decent quality non conference win as well.
I would also add the alternate jerseys, regardless if you liked them or not (I really liked them), added some energy to the whole thing I thought. Players feed off that kind of thing.Let's hope Barta takes note. These are the types of non cons the players want to play, not directional schools that Rand McNally couldn't find.
Any player who would rather beat up on sub 300 RPI cupcakes is a player I probably wouldn't want on this team anyway.
I liked them. I liked even better how the players inside them performed.I would also add the alternate jerseys, regardless if you liked them or not (I really liked them), added some energy to the whole thing I thought. Players feed off that kind of thing.
I say let's wear them until we lose. Seems like that shade of gray could be used for home or away.I would also add the alternate jerseys, regardless if you liked them or not (I really liked them), added some energy to the whole thing I thought. Players feed off that kind of thing.

They need to blow the doors off Alcon st Wednesday night. If they come out just going thru the motions with no intensity and a little bit of a letdown we learn about the mental makeup of this team coming off a big win. I have a feeling with Connor helping be the floor General this season with his competitiveness won’t let that happen.I hope the BB team isn't hearing they are "in" the tournament, death wish for Iowa, historically.
Iowa, at this early point in the season, does seem to have some "heart" and leadership on the team, rather than the soft versions that have been so common.
I'm afraid they will be greeted by the usual contingency of 9,000 golf clapping fans. In a 15,000+ arena.They need to blow the doors off Alcon st Wednesday night.

Concur. Plus one of the bigger challenges this year will be the attitude of JB as we see less of him and more of the multi talented, team player, Connor. Connor seems to be cool under pressure, smart, and a self less team player who makes others around him better. JB can shoot but is historically weak in other areas. Will he willingly accept a lesser role if the coach's son is more of "the guy" who can make Iowa a better team?They need to blow the doors off Alcon st Wednesday night.

The day before thanksgiving they probably won’t see even 9000 fans. It will sound like an Atlanta Hawks game from the 80’s on TBS. You will hear the ball bouncing and the sneakers squeaking from your couch.I'm afraid they will be greeted by the usual contingency of 9,000 golf clapping fans. In a 15,000+ arena.
I'm hoping to get to one non con and one big ten. Possibly Illinois or OSU. Had the perfect opportunity to go to Wiscy on the 30th but the bastard is scheduled for a Friday night and the 90 minute commute conflicts with my peak season work schedule.
Friday Nights are for two things. High school sports and getting hammered.
