    Eligibility executive order

    A salary cap and required transparency seems more important imo and would have a higher likelihood of surviving legal challenges. That said, at least something is being tried.

    Is it assumed Alvaro returns?

    Money aside, I see two important things he’ll be considering - one a plus and one a negative for us. On the plus side, he clearly loves his teammates and culture he’s experienced with this team and program. It can’t be easy essentially being “the new guy” everywhere without any close family or...

    The 5 is my biggest question going forward

    If a high caliber center isn’t affordable, I think a brick $h!thouse PF would be a nice to have as well to match physicality or even neutralize other team height with a wide load down low. Since comparisons to the last elite 8 run are fun, an Ed Horton type would be great. Even if undersized...

    Golden: The plan was to foul Iowa and tie the game; then play for last shot

    First off, I think Golden is a total douchbag especially after seeing how he flipped his **** (and was wrong btw - god I love how Ben called him sensitive!!!!!) after the Condon hip toss and ensuing scrum. That said - if they foul Iowa with 7 to 8 seconds left AND even if Iowa makes both free...

    Discuss how to beat Florida & advance to the Sweet 16!! Plus Clemson Postgame Interviews (Ben, Bennett, Tate, Cam, Alvaro & Kael)

    Honestly if I’m Ben I have no idea what type of gameplan to try to work against Florida. Thankfully for all of us, I am not Ben and I’m kinda excited to see what he might come up with. House money at this point - no one expects us to win except probably Ben and the team…and I kinda like that!

    Officiating

    We need that same treatment - aka, fair! - against Florida to have any chance. If their bigs are allowed to body check us but we get called for ticky tack fouls it’s over.

    *****Iowa vs Clemson NCAAT Game Thread*****

    Also always feels like half the team has globetrotter music playing in their head when trying to make about 12 extra passes. when they have a good shot, they have to take it rather than always be looking for “one more.” i know it’s a fine line, but seems we get too cute too often.

    *****Official Selection Sunday Discussion Thread. IOWA still on the 8/9 line?*****

    I’ve often wondered if the committee sees the 8/9 game as punishment and sliding to a 10 actually a reward. That’s how I would seed if I were part of the committee. I can’t imagine any sane coach wanting the 8/9 line vs being a 10.

    Iowa/Washington game - American Airlines adds nonstop flights

    I looked yesterday and the full there and back direct flight was $968 for one ticket. Prob $1k + after fees added. 🙄🤬 It was like $650 if you take the direct flight out but a connection on the way home. Edit: all the way down to $933 today! 😜
