I don't know how scheduling works fully. I know certain games are agreed upon based on home and home and can cover 2 + years. I know some teams are scheduled on a yearly basis. One thing hurting Iowa this year is their OCC schedule was so poor it required them to do more in a tough Big 10...

For anyone that attended... How was the atmosphere? It did not seem very good on TV. How was attendance? There were a ton of empty seats in the lower level.

I figured Reggie deserved his own thread as he seems to be a forgotten Hawk at times. 69 Career Games 648 Free Throws Attempted 405 Free Throws Made 794 Rebounds 85 Steals 38 Blocks 1054 Career Points 34.4 Minutes per game His numbers are pretty sick when you sit back and think...

Herby has stated that Wisconsin beat Ohio State 83-60 at least 10 times around here. He has been called on it every time and yet he still says it. Herby Wisconsin beat Ohio State 63-60 and Wisconsin was actually down 1 with 34 seconds left in the game until Jordan Taylor hit a 3 point shot.

When was last time there were two players this skilled in the Big 10 that are 6'11 to 7'0.... Zeller as a freshmen is a lot better than Leonard was as a freshmen but Leonard has made vast improvement going into his sophomore year. These two guys are legit and both projected to be top 20...

He needs to quit hesitating and just shoot that 15 ft jump shot anytime he is open. Teams are pushing him off the block, and the defender just stays at the block and lets Mel have that 15 ft jump shoot. They are daring him too shoot. It seems that he hits one and then is still hesitant to...

Aaron Craft came in right away as a freshmen and made an immediate impact in terms of defense, intensity, and distributing the basketball (ie.. getting the ball to the proper players). Craft obviously stepped into a situation with WAY, WAY more talent than Iowa will have during Gesell's...

How long will fans be patient and what do fans consider improvement/acceptable improvement. I know all fans judge success in different terms so there is not really a right answer. I am not sure when/how I will say Iowa is on the right track. I don’t like to predict after one big win...

Is 2013 the true "important class" for Fran? Next year: PG Gesell, Clemmons SG Marble, Oglesby, Ingram SF May, White PF Basabe, McCabe, Meyer C Woodburry, Olaseni I really don't if next years roster is leaps and bounds better than this year. I was thinking this years team...

Who do you think Iowa should put on Royce White? I will admit I have only seen one full ISU game this year when they played Michigan last Saturday on the BTN. From watching ISU play Michigan it looks like White will bring the ball up the court at times and they like to get the ball in his...

Since there is a Cougs thread I figure I would start a thread titled Payne..... Cully definitely is not a guy I want as a starting PG but it would be nice to have him this season as a back up PG. Iowa really lacks a back up PG. Stubbs is not going to cut it, and Marble as a PG is not...

I was in attendance: Oglesby: He made his first shot attempt which was a wide open 3pt shot. He has a good looking stroke. I never got a feel for the quick release they say he has as he only attempted two shots both were 3pt shots. He made one and missed one. He does appear to be a...

Could it be possible that Eric may only gets to play like 8 minutes per game next year. Can you see him being happy playing that role his junior and senior year? Iowa is gaining 2 players for sure Ogelsby and White that are Fran recruits who Fran is pretty high on. These two players play...

A caller from East Moline just called in and asked Fran, "How much better would college basketball be if players were forced to play at least 3 years" Fran took a bit to answer the question and you could tell he thought it was just a dumb question. Fran said this: "I have never had a...

Watching Iowa it is painfully obvious that Bryce Cartwright is the only consistent dribble drive threat. I don't really consider Cully that from watching him last season. I think Cully is a better "true PG" than Cartwright in terms of decision making, but I don't think of Cully as a dribble...

Combined: 29 minutes 6 rebounds 4 points 2 turnovers 1 assist Iowa HAS to get more out of the 5 position than this. It will be a long tough season if this is what the 5 position is going to contribute.

In doing some research it looks like the average record of BCS schools in the 2009 NIT tournament was 20-11. Georgetown had the worst record of 16-14, but they played in a loaded Big East, and Northwestern got in with a 17-13 record. I don’t know why Northwestern got in for sure, I did not...

OK, I have seen too many stupid post's trying to compare John Lickliter to Steven Pearl. Steven Pearl is 6'5 232 pounds Here is his high school bio: Led the U.S. to a gold medal at the 2006 Maccabi Games in Sydney, Australia ... An all-state and All-PrepXtra selection by the Knoxville...

Found this at the Illinois scout site..... It's a good read. WHAT'S UP: This is a re-preview. The teams already played back on January 5th, and that full preview can be found at the following link. There you will also find a kind of fun "Battle of the Alumni Stars," and a pretty funny...
