    I’m sorry. I meant up. That’s what happens when I multi-task! 😊 Fixed it.

    CC is having a great game tonight against Seattle. They’re up by 11 at half, but Indiana kind of reminds me of Fran’s teams. Great offensive schemes. Lacking the defensive intensity.

    Ralph Miller, Lute Olson and Tom Davis. What interesting stat do they have in common.

    Yes, George and Bobby were good friends. Bobby picked George as one of assistants for the Olympic Games he coached. I don’t remember the 10-8 halftime score. The games before the shot clock were sometimes very difficult to watch. Tom Davis is credited with bringing fast-paced style of play to...

    Ralph Miller, Lute Olson and Tom Davis. What interesting stat do they have in common.

    Sorry, this is a bit off topic, but someone already gave the right answer to the question. And the OP mentioned Iowa old-timers. So, here’s a memory from an old guy: I was really depressed when Olson left. When Raveling came in, a friend in the athletic dept told me he wouldn’t last long at...

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

    I remember this. It just didn’t seem he was in that game. But even if he had a good game, I don’t know if we could have beaten Illinois.

    Who excites you the most of the new players? Which of the returnees will have a breakout year?

    I’ll start with my second question. I think Cooper will be phenomenal next year. In the last season, he got tough defensive assignments and handled most of them extremely well. And he can shoot, rebound, drive, and pass. He’s my breakout guy. (Don’t get me wrong I like Jirak, Sage, Manyawu...

    If Banks comes back are we done?

    Nice size now. I saw McKeever play in person. Hawk fans will love him. I really liked Jirak. I hope he makes that huge leap to become an All Big Caliber player. I think we got two solid bigs.

    So are we going to be any good this year?

    I’ll give you a straight answer. It’s truly hard to tell. He’s got great recruits and transfer(s). He’s got at least a couple of starters from last year coming back. He’s got Howard and Sage, who were very good for freshmen. And Ben can definitely coach. So, I think we might be in good shape...

    *****Ty'Reek Coleman commits to IOWA*****

    Fortunately in Northern California, outside of San Francisco in the East Bay. So, it’s colder here than in Southern CA, in LA and San Diego. Still though, every time i visit Iowa during winter, i remember why i moved away. 🤣

    *****Ty'Reek Coleman commits to IOWA*****

    So glad to read that Iowa is the frontrunner for McKeever. I live a few minutes away from his school. He will be a massive get for us. I don’t know how he’s going to do with the weather though. :) I’m loving this offseason.

    I was going to say exactly the same thing. Fred is a wonderful human being. Wearing the Chris Street number was a truly classy thing to do. He also had a reputation as a class act in Chicago.

    Press Conference

    I don’t know Cory and didn’t see the post game presser, but that’s a legitimate question. Alvaro played 9 minutes? Announcers said he was the second highest scorer in the tournament. We needed his height and his three point shooting. Yes, he didn’t play well, missed a couple of shots, and had...

    Sick of losing to Illinois

    I’m glad we lost by 12 or whatever the final score was and not by a last second shot or miss. I couldn’t take another UNLV, although we had a 10 point lead at some point. Still, this doesn’t hurt as bad as 1987, thank God!

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

    I bet you we get blocked more than most teams - very soft around the rim. But hey, this turned out to be a fabulous season. Good for Ben and the crew - Stirtz was fantastic - he’ll be remembered as one of the top 3 to 5 Iowa PG’s of all time
