While I agree Jok's defense isn't good and as talented as Cook seems to be, there isn't anyone on the team that plays worse defense than Cook. He will probably leave Iowa regarded as a stud, but defense and rebounding leaves a lot to be desired at this point. Team defense is overall quite...

Not to mention Bohanon is running up signaling and yelling time out as well. Also on the replay it appeared that Baer is signaling for time out. I thought there were three refs. You would like to think one of them would have seen an Iowa player signaling for a time out. The gift of a basket...

I like Pemsl and Kreiner both more than Cook. He won't play defense and if he can't dunk or get a lay up basically doesn't score, and for a guy with hops and long arms isn't a good rebounder either. He might eventually be a stud, and glad we have him, but sure needs more work.

If it were me I would start Gair and let Taylor be the nickel back if he's healthy again.

Yes, he was 1-1, but it was on a wide open transition basket as I recall. In the half court set offense he has trouble getting open enough to get his shot off. So as others have stated he is basically your role player that you can't count on to average anywhere near 8-10 points a game. He may...

Bohannon's not ready yet. We will have to live with mistakes out of him for a while. Agree, Williams needs to be more aggressive. Ellingson still can't get a shot off against good defenses. Team all needs to shoot free throws better, especially Cook and Wagner, their going to get fouled a...

Assuming GD is gone, because Kirk will be going nowhere would Chuck Long be a terrible thought as offensive coordinator? He knows and understands Iowa tradition and history that some want by being an Iowa guy. His track record indicates he was better as a coordinator than a head coach...

Definitely played tough but I would still like to see them tackle better. Lots of yards after contact against our defense.

It makes me sad that Iowa expects so much out of their players, but not each other as a coaching staff. Early in the game, get a terrible spot on the Scheel catch, but we don't challenge the spot or even ask for a measurement. It's still 4th and less than one, on the other side of the 50...

Partially it's because we never do anything different out of the shotgun. When teams see us in that formation they know there is never a threat of a run, it's a guaranteed pass and generally a slow developing play. They can pin their ears back an come after us.

Unfortunately we are still a big story this week. If it's possible we have to go prove this team is legit (us and NDSU) by winning several in a row.

I'm not blaming the refs, because we played and coached horribly, but the hold on Kittle was bogus and absolutely a game changer. You could see it in the demeanor of both teams. To be a good team you have to overcome that and I understand that, but it was a real gut punch. More frustrating...

The phantom holding call on Kittle during Daniels long run was huge. Instead of 1st and goal and going up 2 scores they get nothing. Set the tone for the whole second half.

I think Fran is very good at identifying talent. He just needs to be able to land a couple of these bigger fish and then see what happens. Sometimes as hard as you try to sell things they just still don't want to come and there is nothing you can do about it. I certainly wouldn't want to have...

I didn't get to watch or listen to the game, but what was up with the technical fouls on Jok? Nobody will show the replays of it either. My dad seems to think they kind of got jobbed. I don't figure it cost us the game, just curious about others thoughts as I don't always trust my dad.

With the week off hopefully Fran will look at his game planning more carefully. I kind of think maybe Sapp will give the crew a come to Jesus meeting. I get the feeling he isn't happy about how things are currently going. If they can get mentally refocused and physically refreshed I can see...

We have to be the quietest home crowd in all of college basketball. The team sure could use their help right about now.

How can we have trips down the floor where Jok or Utoff neither one touch the ball in a whole offensive sequence.

I have a bad feeling we may have peaked too soon this season. Utoff has lost his shot as well.
