Hawkeyes Basketball

Look out Rutgers, here they come.

Uthoff is the worst clutch all-American of the last 10-15 years. Good lord.

LOL. I expect fans to jump the gun, but journalists that cover the sport should know how quickly thing can change in college basketball.

Leistikow is going to get run out of town.

Who is Chad Leistikow?

I'd like to ask him for some advice on life and then plan my entire life doing the exact opposite.

In his defense we win two home games against bottom feeders and we think the worm has turned. One good week and everyone is high. One bad week and everyone is low. That is sports journalism.

That may be going a little too far.
Where are you getting that?

They had tickets available when I typed that. It wasn't even down to singles because you could get two tickets in the seats when I checked.

Not an Iowa fan.

Take away the UNI game and our worst loss is @ Texas RPI 26.

Wow, that puts a lot in perspective. Hope the seeding committee is paying full attention.

I'm not optimistic because we beat KSU and OK State...although beating KSU would be Iowa's best RPI win since Jan 2...let that sink in...it's March now.

I'm optimistic because regular McKay appears to be back which is absolutely huge given how thin we are up front.

On Sunday I was feeling like some fun, so I listened to Jon Miller's podcast after the loss. Apparently, they think that Uthoff is sick. And Jon mentioned that he had done some research and that they wouldn't let Uthoff play if he had mono. Which is absolutely true. But that was Jon's way of putting it in everyone's head that Uthoff is so sick that he might as well have mono.

If Uhtoff has a huge game @Michigan I'm going with the story that he still has mono and just pulled a Michael Jordan flu game.

Jon is the biggest turd in the world.

Even Twilight/Twilight Zone/OVOsound has abandoned this nonsense.

Is this doubling as the meltdown thread? If so I have a thread and specific post to drop in

I have liked Ed Cooley at Providence. He can recruit, and has Dunn who was a good get. Ben Jacobson is maybe an answer? He is young and has gotten UNI to be alright. Archie Miller at Dayton is another name to watch although I doubt we could get him to come here.

Honestly though I don't think we fire fran after next year no matter what happens. His kid is coming, he has gotten a nationwide top prospect in Tyler Cook, and we have gotten better each year under him. Would people be reacting like this if the collapse was during the beginning of BIG play and the hot streak was now?

I have nothing to add, I would just like to let the record show there are multiple people on this board that agree with this statement.
