    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...

    Connor McCaffrey is joining Ben McCollum’s staff at Iowa as an assistant.

    Look who's got AFD jokes ....

    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.

    Why no review of the goal tend? Why such poor officials for an Elite Eight?

    What is the real point of review if you aren't allowed to review a possible missed call that directly impacts the game, such as an initial uncalled basket interference?? Along those lines, why are refs allowed to review to see if a foul should be upgraded if it wasn't called an F1/2 or T...

    Officiating

    Say what you want about the officiating - or say officiating is never the problem if you want - but Cooper has got to be a bit bruised up on his upper body. Between getting attacked with a fairly vicious elbow and an arm swing on the rebounding action of a possible ILL FT miss and then getting...

    Why no review of the goal tend? Why such poor officials for an Elite Eight?

    That was the moment we all should have known officiating was going to seriously favor ILL at key moments, re: the 'play on' on the offensive goal tending. Anything even slightly close to an infraction there should have seen the refs stop play immediately and review. Kinda like when the...

    1 Foul on Mirk?!,!, F U Refs!!!

    He would have had 3 fouls before Coach could blink, with that 2nd half officiating.

    1 Foul on Mirk?!,!, F U Refs!!!

    Only 1 guy, but Sage made some pretty big plays. Coop hit a couple/three 3s, too.
