    26-27 Non Conference schedule

    Haven't heard anything on this topic for a while. I think the solution to the "less teams want to play us" is simple -join pre-season tournaments where you are guaranteed a couple of game against good (sometimes really good) opponents. Maui, Bahamas, Alaska, whatever. For Example, last year we...

    Iowa purchases basketball court used for 2026 NCAA Houston Regional Elite Eight

    I wonder how much those court sections will sell for! Especially the piece with CC "22" on it...

    Iowa purchases basketball court used for 2026 NCAA Houston Regional Elite Eight

    I'm not sure I understand why this is needed. What was wrong with the old court? The cynic in my also wonders why, if it is such a great court, was it for sale in the first place? Not trying to be negative but I just don't understand the rationale for making this move. Feel free to enlighten me ;)

    Bennett Stirtz at the NBA Combine

    Wow! That'll raise some eyebrows! He's going to make some NBA team better. I hope he ends up with the Nuggets (selfishly).

    20 game Conference opponents announced

    I like our chances against all those teams at home -not saying we win them all but I think we win most. I think we split the home and aways. The road games are harder to predict, but I would think we win 2 or 3 of those. My magic 8 ball isn't always accurate, but I think we're looking at 10 - 12...

    20 game Conference opponents announced

    I agree with this. We always had a rep for being a very tough place to play and, at 15,500, we are one of the bigger B1G arenas to play at. If you win they will come. We have become much more competitive so expect attendance and enthusiasm to follow.

    Iowa vs Washington - Friday night game

    I don't recall a game at Tulsa in the 80's. I do recall a game at Tulsa in 1996 (because I was there) and it was one of the worst games I've ever seen. We played terribly against a team we should have dominated. Felt similar to some of the crap games we played against NW in the 90's -too...

    Just watched final 3 mins. IA over Nebby in ncaas; man I wish Alvaro would have stayed

    Yep. Hard to know. I think he probably wanted to stay but the staff said this is the number and his agent said here is a much higher number. It is what it is...

    Iowa bball NIL

    Hausen getting $700k to mainly ride the bench really boggles my mind! Either they thought he would be a major contributor or they were willing to get an expensive insurance policy type player in case of injury.

    26-27 Non Conference schedule

    I also like playing neutral court games that are essentially home games. I've been to non-conf games at the MARK (Moline / Quad Cities) in the past and it was really fun! Scheduling some other regional team would make sense -like Northern Ill, DePaul, Loyola, or Bradley. Nothing stopping them...

    *****Andrew McKeever commits to IOWA*****

    Kirk is safe. As long as BM produces competitive teams he'll be fine. Same with Jan J. -she will be fine as long as she keeps Iowa competitive. Being a D1 coach is very competitive and pays really well. If you don't get the desired results, then I don't blame schools for making changes.

    *****Andrew McKeever commits to IOWA*****

    I have no inside info but I don't think we're done in portal. I think BM can be very selective and look for another talented young player for depth and development. Unfortunately, I think Banks ability to return is low odds.

    *****Andrew McKeever commits to IOWA*****

    IMHO, this is why apathy set in. Everyone could tell the team had talent but it didn't matter. If you don't play defense you don't win.
