    Pretty cool video from the Iowa vs Nebraska game for the Elite 8

    The pain continues comment was spot on!

    Ben improving the schedule

    Most of the team is back and very experienced (yes, we lost Stirtz, but we gained a very tall dude and a capable PG replacement). For that reason, I like our chances against other P4 teams we play early. I have not looked up how much turnover teams like VaTech have but I'm guessing its more than...

    Hurray for Hausen!

    As a true freshman, Sage showed a lot of promise early and got better as the year went on. It was fun to watch his growth. I'm hoping that his development and growth continues at Iowa for the next couple years! Glad he's on our team!!!

    2027 Recruiting

    It'll be very interesting to see how this recruitment goes. He wouldn't visit if he didn't think Iowa had a lot to offer. The X factor here is some deep pockets blue blood offering him some obscene amount of money he can't say no to. My hope is that he learns from Stirtz and does the work at...

    Bennett Stirtz a projected Lottery Pick at #10

    I was also curious -this is AI generated so take with a grain of salt: The Deal Breakdown To Oklahoma City Thunder: Bennett Stirtz (No. 16 Pick) To Memphis Grizzlies: No. 17 Pick and two second-round draft picks Contract Details: Stirtz is set to sign a four-year rookie scale contract worth an...

    Bennett Stirtz a projected Lottery Pick at #10

    I didn't see the OKC trade. If true, that is a good landing spot for him! Happy for him!!

    26-27 Non Conference schedule

    This will be a great pre-season test. Not surprised they are pre-season ranked as they've had consistent success lately. Alabama has six consecutive trips to March Madness. Those trips include three Sweet 16s, one Elite 8, and one Final Four. So, quality opponent for sure. Still haven't seen...

    Nuggets!! We actually need him assuming a Murray trade is in the works...

    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...
