    No they don't. OK, so they lost close games last year. Why will that change? Are teams going to start taking pity on the poor old gophers? They lost both of their top big men, their top point guards and have only added some good guards in response who'll obvious take time to get acclimated...

    Not a clone fan buddy boy. (Hint: look at the sig) Please explain to me how a team that finished 6-12 in conference last year and lost most of their best players is going to compete with those teams in the B1G standings.

    Important questions, difficult to answer at this point with so many unknowns. My starting lineup would be 1 - Williams 2 - Fleming 3 - Uhl 4 - Cook 5 - Pemsl/Jones (Leaning towards Pemsl because I've seen him play) Uhl needs to fulfill his potential as the go to guy. Williams will be the...

    I wasn't that high on Maryland or their players last year. That's partially because I didn't watch their games against MSU or you guys when they were clicking (the first time I watched them was the Iowa game....not really impressive tape). Other than Trimble, everyone else seemed average to...

    These projections had your guys a little lower than I would have expected honestly. McKay and Morris are guys I'd definitely look at if I were a GM. Niang needs to show more defensive qualities before I would really buy into him as a pro player. He's been great for Iowa State tho. I'd take...

    I love White. He will never be as good as Mirotic. And neither of their situations are comparable in anyway except that they both have played in Europe at some point. I don't watch that much CBB outside of the B1G/Iowa St/UNI, but I can't imagine that there's 130 guys I would take ahead of...

    I think a lot of Iowa fans need to be more objective when it comes to Peter. All you have to do is go watch the Gonzaga game and you'll see it. That was a game where we needed a big performance from Peter to stay competitive and he was horrendous. After Big Ten play started, he scored in double...

    Me personally, I would recommend to any basketball player that is serious about playing at the next level to stay as far away from programs like Memphis, UNLV, and other mid majors like them. Instead of challenging yourself against the best players in the country in the Big 12, Big 10, or ACC...

    I got the impression that Moore was always looking for bigger offers and Iowa was probably only going to be an option if Moore couldn't get interest from other schools. He blew up, got interest from bigger/fancier schools, and moved on from Iowa.

    NBA: *** Official 2015 NBA Playoffs Thread ***

    1. Can't do much to stop LeBron when he plays like this. 2. Props to the Cav's role players, they made shots. The Bulls have to force guys like Dellavedova, Jones, Shumpert to beat us from 3 again. 3. Pau Gasol can be really infuriating at times. Couldn't keep up with Thompson all game long...

    LeBron needs to maintain his aggressiveness in this half. He's lost a bit of his energy. Sigh...

    BLOG: All signs point to Bulls job opening

    Reinsdorf focuses more on the White Sox(who he also owns) and lets GarPax do most of the work relating to the bulls. Thibs has been extremely successful in Chicago, but coaches have to be held accountable for all their decisions at this level. Sure not all the injuries may be his fault, but its...

    NBA: *** Official 2015 NBA Playoffs Thread ***

    You're probably correct that their shooting percentage will go down in the upcoming games. I won't dispute that, but that doesn't change the fact that most of the bulls looks were pretty open other than a couple here and there. Those shots will still go down, just maybe not at that high of a...

    NBA: *** Official 2015 NBA Playoffs Thread ***

    Cleveland hasn't proven they can defend at a high level all year long(20th in Def Eff). Don't know why you would expect them to transform into a great defensive team at this point. Other than a couple by Derrick, most of the shots the bulls made were open. Even saying that Rose only shot 2...

    I wouldn't go that far. He might struggle guarding really quick point guards but I think he should be good enough of an athlete to stay in front of most guards. If he does struggle guarding point guards, we could play to his strengths by going to more zone and using the length of both him and...

    Personally, I would've saved the scholarship for a big man. Woodbury is still too foul prone and while I like Wagner, I don't think he can play the 5 position in the Big Ten. I completely understand why Fran made this offer but there is some risk involved.
