    RIP to a Message Board Great

    That guy always went to the mat for his Moline boys. So long, IllQChawk. RIP. Shame you're gone, as we were finally staring to see things on a shared level with the new coach & system.

    "With NIL we [Kentucky] can't cheat like we used to."

    Can we talk about the most important part of that clip? That being Michelle Beadle.

    last shot by Alvaro vs fla.

    Not sure of your thought process here, but he is passing it to a wide open teammate when his team needs a bucket to tie the game or take the lead with just seconds remaining in the game. Why in the world would he immediately try and call a time out after passing it in that situation?!

    College basketball free agency in full swing.

    And these guys making millions from schools/NIL are also on scholarship, right? So not only are they making millions to play sport, all their school fees and whatever else is being paid for as well. WhyTF would these athletes ever want to go into their sport's professional version?? Their...

    College basketball free agency in full swing.

    Just got an ESPN app update that "Eliot Cadeau and Michigan have reached a deal for the star PG to return for his senior season". Not even trying to hide what it all really is anymore. Headlines like that in the past used to just simply read "Cadeau returning to Michigan for senior season".

    Can We Please Slow Our Roll on the Curt Cignetti Comparisons or the Immediate Contract Renegotiation?

    Pretty much never gonna find a coach that suits your standards if reaching a round in the NCAA Tournament that hasn't been seen at Iowa in 4 decades - in their FIRST season, with a sub-optimal roster - isn't good enough for you. Someone also said that Iowa reached the Elite8 by "being a little...

    Is it assumed Alvaro returns?

    I'm truly on the fence about wanting Alvaro back or not. As we well know, when he scored double-digits in games, Iowa was 15-1. And below .500 when he didn't. So that's empirical evidence that when he does play well, he's a great benefit to his team. And when he doesn't, he was more often...

    *****Iowa vs Illinois NCAAT Game Thread*****

    Iowa only had a 2-pt lead at the time, but wish I had the science fiction ability to see possible future outcomes from a static point in time. Speaking of the 7-8+ minute delay caused by the horn malfunction. Do things stay the same if it didn't happen? Change a little?? A lot??? I know, I...

    ISU fans are (some of) the worst, imo. I could actually not care less about the school and sports program themselves, but their fans engender some real deep dislike for everything ISU from my perspective.

    Welp, go Michigan (or 'Zona) to win it all. Because I will never be caught rooting for the other 2 teams in the F4 to win the NC.

    Jeebus H Krist. Can't read the replies but please tell me there wasn't a lot of support for that shid! That's just a side-step from the death threats that student athletes get sent. Guy must have some ISU fandom in the family tree somewhere.

    - Iowa makes the Elite8, and was about 5-6 game minutes away from getting to the Final4. - ISU loses to Tennessee easily in the Sweet16. - Michigan then annihilates Tennessee in the Elite8. Some of you might need to do some welfare checks on your ISU friends and neighbors.

    Absolutely nobody/nothing to root for in this game, imo.
