    UConn Fans are classless….

    Without question. I can’t think of a single coach past or present who matches Hurley’s douche-E-ness. Bo Ryan was a prick, Bob Knight was an @zzhole, Steve Alford was a smug pissant, and of course Tom Izzo is a whiny little b*tch. But Danny Hurley makes all of them look like amateurs in the...

    UConn Fans are classless….

    Lol. That reminds me of my high school days. When by the end of the first quarter of a basketball game, the student section would start chanting, “Let’s play football…bah bah bamp buh bah…let’s play football!”

    UConn Fans are classless….

    Looks like a bunch of drunk college kids with no concept of karma. Meh. As you said, Michigan is likely to steamroll UConn. Arizona had been the best team in college basketball coming into the tournament and Michigan made them look absolutely silly yesterday. Losing in the BTT must have lit a...

    Coon commits!

    No one cares. You’re embarrassing yourself with this obsession. Do you not see that? Let it go.

    Coon commits!

    Seriously, STFU.

    Who was Dochterman talking about?

    Checks out. If there is a silver lining, Barta’s incompetence, which stretched the Fran era out about 3-4 years longer than it should have been, allowed for Iowa to be in the right position to land Ben McCollum—a coach who could prove to be one of those once-in-a generation hires who, unlike...

    Yep.

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

    Yeah, I am not a fan of the Cignetti comparisons, but the bottom line is Ben McCollum is the perfect fit for Iowa basketball. There is literally no one better for the job that Iowa could realistically bring onboard. The guy has won at the highest level everywhere he has gone and has strong Iowa...

    Jaidyn Coon Storm Lake

    A lot of good ones to choose from over the years. Eric May was pretty damn impressive for his height. No one, though, could throw it down like Doug Thomas.

    2nd leading scorer in the tournament sits for Iowa

    That’s my guess. It’s all about matchups. Perhaps OP is still used to Fran ball.

    2nd leading scorer in the tournament sits for Iowa

    It absolutely amazes me the knee-jerk reactions Iowa fans demonstrate on here. If it were up to some people, Stirtz would have been buried deep on the bench two months ago and Ben McCollum would have been tidying up his resume before the calendar had flipped to March. That’s how stupid people are.

    Not surprising. I always got that sense of entitlement vibe with Freeman. It wouldn’t surprise me in the least if he lost a little motivation after getting paid.

    expectation for next year and waxing philosophical

    Every year is different. If BMC plans to stick around for a few seasons, this will not be the last run for Iowa in the tournament. I feel pretty confident in saying that. However, Iowa is still likely to have down years where they barely make the tournament or end up in the NIT. Fans need to be...
