    Where things stand with Iowa, Alvaro Folgueiras

    If you want to talk "involved parents," didn't Caitlin Clark's entire family take 2+ years off from work to attend every one of her home and away games? Parents are typically looking out for their kids' best interests.

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

    You are comparing Iowa's 10-10 season with the Bulls 72-10 season? LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

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

    @kwik44 - Thank you for unwittingly making my point. Iowa just signed McCollum to a 6 year contract less than a year ago. Yes, an elite 8 run should buy a coach 5 years...that's rational. However, it should NOT buy a coach who just signed a new contract an insane raise and an indefinite...

    I'm no Alford fan, but are you sure he didn't have any kind of success before he got to Iowa...or do you breathe with your mouth and have a memory that only goes back 1 year? After going 31-1 at the DIII level (3 straight titles), he got hired by Missouri State. He then took that no-name...

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

    I seem to recall Steve Alford reaching the Sweet 16 at a small school (Southwest Missouri State) then parlaying that into a HUGE pay raise and a job at Iowa. In his first year at Iowa, the Hawks, led by point guard Dean Oliver, managed to shock #1 ranked UCONN by a basket. That team also...

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

    Was there another player nationally who was more valuable to their team than Iowa's all-American point guard who played 40 minutes per game where the offense was a game of hot potato to get the ball back to him every time he passed it to someone else?

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

    Did he "win" at Iowa or did he finish 9th in the conference, going 10-10, with bad losses to 3-17 Penn State and 4-16 Maryland? The Hawks were a #9 seed in the NCAA tournament because they went 5-9 in Quad 1 games with just 1 ranked win. I guess it's a matter of perspective here but...

    Ben McCollum >>> Darian DeVries

    You are also not very bright. Just sayin.

    The #9 seed Hawks just had an incredible tournament run that defied expectations. Hawk fans are understandably ecstatic. But to compare what McCullum accomplished this year to Curt Cignetti's national title run...or for our lady athletic director to consider rewarding the first year coach with...

    Jack McCaffery in the transfer portal

    Those McCaffery kids sure know how to extend their time in college indefinitely. How many 4 star recruits in history have missed an entire season and redshirted due to a "dental issue." WTF could that even mean? Even if he had all of his teeth pulled at the same time he'd only be out a week...

    Ben McCollum >>> Darian DeVries

    This is just plain dumb. Judging a long-term coaching hire by how their team did in season 1? I guess 1-10 Kirk Ferentz was a much worse hire than the hundreds of coaches at other programs who have come and gone since him and started with better records. Indiana will be fine. They had FOUR...

    Can Someone Explain Why Kael Combs Gets So Many Minutes?

    Well how 'bout that. After failing to make a single 3 pointer for 9 games in a row, Iowa's starting shooting guard broke the streak by going 1 for 2 from 3...while playing 39 minutes...the same minutes as Stirtz! His offensive game was no better than usual. If you go back and rewatch the...

    Can Someone Explain Why Kael Combs Gets So Many Minutes?

    Stirtz is the ball handler for 35 minutes per game whether Combs is in or not. It's totally fine for Combs to be the ball handler the other 5 minutes per game. That still doesn't explain why he's playing 25 minutes per game while Stirtz brings the ball down the court virtually every possession.

    Can Someone Explain Why Kael Combs Gets So Many Minutes?

    Hold up. Combs is 7th on the team in 3 point shooting and 8th on the team in field goal percentage. Worst of all, he's terrified to shoot unless he's wide open. Not exactly a great justification for him playing 25 minutes per game. Now look at Tate Sage. He shoots 60% from the 2 and 38%...

    Brutal to Watch Ben's One Dimensional Offense

    Wait...did Michigan and Duke run hard to watch "one dimensional offenses" involving passing to 1 guy all night while everyone else danced around catching passes only for the sake of immediately throwing it back to that 1 guy? A kind of stale and predictable offense that forces that 1 guy to...
