    Tough day for EIU hoops hopes

    That, right there, perfectly captures Fran's entire tenure at Iowa - especially in regards to recruiting and defense. The two white guys on the video cover should have been starters on any of the Valley or Summit League teams. And, of course, their defensive zone positioning demonstrates how to...

    *** WBB vs. #7 Kansas State (Wed., 6:30) ***

    Hopefully these past couple games have provided Diew with some confidence on the offensive end. We need her to continue to give positive minutes when she is out there. Really hoping she ends this season on a high note!!

    Tough day for EIU hoops hopes

    There have been many discussions on whether any of Iowa's players would find minutes on Iowa State's current team. I think that it would be a resounding "No." None of them would, defensively, be good enough to sniff the floor. Now, maybe over the course of a season & 1 off-season, a couple of...

    I assume you mean NIT bubble. :)

    It's the Big 10. They don't really have a tough schedule the rest of the way. I will say this, however - they don't have the luxury of playing against an incompetent coach (i.e. Ben Johnson) down the stretch, so there's that.

    Tough day for EIU hoops hopes

    Shon Morris hit the nail on the head when he called out the Minny players for "looking at the clock" during game play. I think his meaning was something like, "Will this current lead be enough to get us to the finish line?" Obviously, if you are mentally soft, that can be worse than being...

    Tough day for EIU hoops hopes

    LOL...The Gooofers!! Looks like my prediction (a 3-4 pt Iowa win) is holding up. I hope it doesn't - but I saw this collapse even when Minny was ahead by 17-18 in the first half.

    Tough day for EIU hoops hopes

    Minnesota was a bit sloppy at the end of the half or this would be a 18-20 pt lead. I think the Gophers will shoot more toward their mean in the second half & they would have wished they had ended the first half better. Iowa will probably win by 3 or 4. I never WANT the Hoks to win but, if they...

    Cyclones in the pros 2023-2024 (hoops)

    I was just watching an "awesome NBA plays" montage on YouTube and one of the highlights was of Kobe Bryant doing the exact same thing Tyrese did - except Kobe's teammate made a 2 point bucket instead.

    And Melsahn Basabe was better than Melvin Ejim. Hmmm - how did that turn out? Melsahn faded (just like the Hoks in February), and Melvin was POY in the Big 12 & AP 2nd Team All-American!

    *** WBB vs. #24 Oklahoma (6 p.m.) ***

    Both teams have about equal shooting %. The difference is that OU has 12 offensive rebounds more shots made. Ugly and infuriating all at the same time!

    *** WBB vs. #24 Oklahoma (6 p.m.) ***

    It is sooo sad for me. Diew was one of my favs on this year's team. However, on that last rebounding attempt, I was watching Diew & she didn't box out, nor did she go after the ball when it clanged long off the rim! She just stood and watched. I don't understand why she is getting any minutes at...

    Tough day for EIU hoops hopes

    This Penn State team is absolute garbage. After Iowa's good start to the game, Iowa has looked pretty bad. Trouble is, PSU is TERRIBLE! I thought Iowa played awful defense - PSU is worse & they keep jackin' 3PTers instead of taking it to the rim or getting it to a big to try and get Freeman into...

    Kansas State fans are madder than I have ever seen

    So, now we know where his assistant learned the insult that was hurled at our manager. Yippi Kai Yay!!!

    *** Official #12 IOWA STATE vs #18 Baylor Game(Day) Thread ***

    Those 4 easy MISSED lay-ups early in the game, coupled with uncontested 3pt misses by CuJo also loom large. We need Tre to be good Tre, CuJo to hit open shots, Lipsey to give us some offense & our D needs to limit BU's wide open looks from 3. Easier said than done, I know. Gonna be a real uphill...
