I would think Fran is smart enough to play his best players reguardless of position. Position is really over-rated for the most part. Put your 5 best players on the floor as much as possible to give yourself the best chance. I probably was in a hurry when typing. Siva was a second round...

Wow we go from Boatright and Napier to Siva and Smith. Siva was a second round pick in the NBA pick #56 Smith is pegged as a second round pick in the NBA pick #17 Boatright does not project as being drafted but was the 42nd best high school player in his class per rivals. Napier is...

Yep, Chris Paul lacks character. Way to stereotype/generalize. Lebron has never been in legal trouble and by all accounts is a great guy. Hell there have been way worse players on Iowa football and bball teams you have watched and rooted for over the years

2 year players are not there to get their degree. Heck 3 year doesn't get it done unless you are smart and take a ton of classes or come in with college credit.

What are you even talking about? Calipari tries to recruit the best high school seniors just like EVERY COACH IN AMERICA! that is hardly a new strategy. He just happens to recruit seniors in high school at times that are good enough to only play one or two years of college basketball...

I don't have an issue with Calipari and his one and done guys. He at least doesn't pretend like the players owe him like Boeheim and coach K do. Did you hear coach K complaining about Parker? What a tool. Hello coach K you recruited Parker and you did a **** poor job coaching Parker having...

In 2013 the Iowa women ranked 19th in the country averaging 4,567 per game. Iowa State ranked 2nd in the country averaging 9,970 per game. Iowa State is closer to DSM and the DSM metro area so they have a way larger population base. I would think if Iowa could average 6,000 per game...

I can't deny that Iowa has missed some chances at end of game shots. That could boil down to talent and coaching. Iowa only has one player who can create at the end of the shot clock with consistency and that is Devyn. Devyn is good, not great but when everyone knows he is the one who has to...

Marble hit a clutch shot and guarded Tenn best offensive player on the last play to send it to OT.

No kidding. If the UNC bigs could hit a 13 ft jump shot UNC prob wins by 15. Paige means so much to that team. I remember last year people on this board were kind of ripping on Paige. He is really good.

Paige hit some huge shots. One heck of a player.

I don't remember and it was only one play with Iowa down 15-20 points probably. Jok is a shooter for sure. Lets see if he becomes a creator and passable defender.

I don't know if he will develop into a guy who can break down the other teams best perimeter defender. I think he can be one heck of a shooter.

Agree 100%

You should have offered a scholly representing Iowa! Ha, ha.. Fran would not be upset

Re: Nebraska sure is getting enough mention on Big Ten Network about being in "4th Pl Not one single person had wisc in the top 3 on this board. MSU OSU IOWA MICH WISC That is what I seem to remember.

Recruiting is where it realistically should be. Iowa has only had a practice facility for what 2 years now? Iowa had a strong showing last year considering everything. Iowa seems to at least be in on big name recruits where they can talk to them and not get laughed at. With this solid season...

I figured this was common knowledge to "long time" college sports fans. Coaches poll is just a vote for your buddy, or have a SID, grad assistant or some other staff member vote. Kenpom is great but the only issue one coyld hqve with kenpom is it's really best when the regular season ends to...

You like the coaches poll? You realize coaches have no time to watch all the teams in the coaches poll. Hell coaches don't even really vote. There were stories of football coaches having a SID vote. Coaches poll is a complete joke.
