Before Lute arrived and the sport gained a ton of popularity, I used to pay my $3.50 (!) and proceed upstairs at the Fieldhouse where I found a seat where the poles just cut off the two corners of the floor. I pretty much sat behind Bob Brooks and an attractive older lady who worked with him...

Better get used to it and probably even worse down the road. The B1G went fishing for money and hit up Amazon and Peacock, not to mention some local channels. There was some talk that Netflix was going to throw their hat in the ring. Still might. We are going to need a map to find these games...

If my dad worked in a high pressure job for some company and did a better than average job for 90% of his career (I know, the % is debatable) and then one day he was unceremoniously fired, I might be a bit pissed at them too. But if all we're bitching about is the internet posting listed here...

Gotta love tiny Tom working the refs the second he steps on the court. I remember him doing that in Carver one entire game that they won by 35.

Can we outbid the Huskers? Seems like that is the only thing that speaks to players these days.

Owens's running mate, Brock Harding, is definitely a plus for his new TCU team. Averaging double figures and running the floor show, although his shooting percentages could be better all around. Dix is the leading scorer for Creighton, with Freeman being fifth. Frankly, I've lost track of all...

Illinois is getting quite the nasty surprise from this Nebraska team. Approaching halftime and they're down 13 at home.

I am on record as being a bit skeptic of the usual bracketologists. At the top of that pile, I put Joe Lunardi, who is wrong until he's right, usually on selection Sunday. That said, I see that he has us currently as a seven seed in Philadelphia (Hi, Fran!) facing Baylor. Hopefully this team...

This is probably the best team the clones have had since they had Haliburton and Horton Tucker and we beat that team both home and away. I'm not surrendering this one without a fight. It's never easy over there, but we have won several times on their court.

Wasn't there a decree from on high a few years ago that the refs should be paying special attention to "freedom of movement," in effect, telling the refs to keep the defensive hands off the offense players?

Given that Michigan State got beat by #4 Duke, Indiana got beat by #6 Louisville and Purdue got beat by #10 Iowa St, I believe we can take your evaluation of the conference as a whole a bit premature. Time will tell.

Hopefully we can present them the type of game we handed to them in 12/2019. I watched their game against Purdue, and to their credit, they were playing the Boilers pretty even through most of the first half. It was the second half blitz that burnt Purdue. There are games when a team just...

I'm sorry that you didn't appreciate my statement about the current merits of our relative programs, and I admit, I was having a bad day and was a bit over the top. But I have been an Iowa fan longer than most of you guys have been alive and it gets frustrating to me how the football program...

Yeah, I agree that we need to get him some playing time as soon as possible. Otherwise, with the state of college basketball being what it is, he may walk to somewhere that he can get paid and play.

This won't end up pretty for Hawkeye fans. I hope someone points out to our athletic director that we have fallen behind Moo U in the two men's sports that most casual fans and all hard core fans can readily see. We have seen this trend creeping into our athletic achievements in the state for...

Geez, what is the B1G record for personal fouls by one team in a half? These refs have decided to make a run at it.

We're seeing Tiny Tom's full array of ref baiting tonight.

That's always an adventure, especially since it seems as though Dolph is getting senile. I have always listened to the radio broadcasts when I watch the games, going back to the 60's. I just like to hear Iowa's side, as it were. And the previous scheme when Iowa licensed several outlets to...

Then the sport of basketball has been denigrated even further. And as far as I can tell, Iowa doesn't play that way, nor do I want them to. I love college basketball, and I know we'll never go back to the days when players actually dribbled the ball according to the rules of the game. I don't...

I think anyone who has decided that this is a contending team in the B1G should take a couple of steps back. Neither team we played this week are what I would determine to be "good" teams. They both had some talent, but Ole Miss lost both of their games in this tourny and nothing I saw of...
