Nvm, HAAAAAAAAAA bitcheesssssss

in Peyton Sandfort, Josh Dix and Owen Freeman.
Yes, Dembele, Pr Sandfort and Harding have potential, but each have been sub 10 per game role players this past season.
Right now, its like we are positioned to be a bottom feeder next season unless Fran somehow flips the roster with 4-5 proven transfer portal players. If he doesn't, either out of spite, or inability to land any of these guys, he is likely facing his final season at Iowa.
I don't see the fan base putting up with it another year.

Cool to watch

What’s too early to have the yard staff mowing the lawn. The staff was out at 8:00 this am and the neighbor, who is that guy, whined because it’s too early. My opinion is that if the mower isn’t horrifically loud 8 is fine. Before 7 is too early. 7-8 is a gray area.

It would be cool if they all agreed to be buried in the same plot and then you could have this interactive shrine in their memory.

(After they're dead of course)

Thanks, Joe

Unfortunately, as reported, Molly Davis is officially OUT for tonight. Doesn't bode well for Sunday either. What a shame.

Starters have yet to be posted.

By noise the fans are decidedly more pro-Iowa, but there's plenty of UConn fans and plenty of empty seats as the SC and NCSU faithful with early bedtimes clear out.

How are y'all feeling? What are your gameday superstitions you're leaning on?

But man, the officiating in women’s basketball is absolutely brutal. I never paid attention to the sport before, but as much as the women have risen to the task, the officiating hasn’t and it needs to be addressed if the sport is going to continue to grow.

"Many articles on the murder but none mention immigration status despite the accused having an immigration detainer hold." Gee, no wonder [they] commit crimes at a lesser rate that US citizens! 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤡

Remember that one? Iowa led by 1, but Indiana had the final possession. And with 1.7 seconds to go, Iowa was called for a questionable foul on an Indiana shooter who clearly traveled before launching a shot. Indiana made both FTs to take the lead, and it appeared Iowa was doomed to defeat by a last-second call.

But as the TV announcer said, "There's only 1.7 seconds left, but all things are possible when Caitlin Clark has the ball."

Iowa called a timeout and inbounded the ball from midcourt with 1.7 seconds to play. Clark came off two screens, grabbed a bad pass, pivoted and fired. The off-balance 3-pointer went through as time expired.

Just thought I'd mention it.

Saw a stat on X sometime near the end of the 3rd quarter that we were 9/18 on layups. It's been a nagging problem since the B1G tournament. If we can't hit the bunnies Sunday and go cold from 3, it's going to be a long afternoon. Heard on a Hawkeye podcast (I think it was Kachine Alexander) that if a slump lasts more than a few games, it's a trend and we're at trend territory with missing layups. Not sure if we're afraid of contact or expecting fouls to be called, but those have to go in at a higher rate than 50%.

At Billy Bob's in Ft Worth. Guy called Kameron Marlowe. I wasn't real familiar. He was pretty good.

IOWA by 2.5 and they win by 2 with over 80 percent if the money on them.

With about 50 seconds left and Iowa up by 4, a series of bizarre errors happened that almost cost us the game. I'm glad we were able to overcome it, but I want to break down what happened.

First error is on Bluder. Stuelke probably should have been taken out for another guard, because she's not a great FT shooter or passer. Uconn needed either a quick steal or foul, so I feel she is a liability on this play.

Second error is on Stuelke. She tries to hand the ball off to Kate without using her body to shield the ball. Their big pokes the ball away and creates a loose ball.

Third error now gets made by Kate Martin. In a panic, she is afraid of over-and-back being called and tries to pass the ball back to someone instead of just repossessing and going into the backcourt. Backcourt violation likely would not have been called since the ball was poked, but even if it does get called you're able to reset your defense.

Fourth mistake is on the team. Instead of just fouling to set up our d, we let the posession chaotically play out and Stuelke sinks into the paint leaving us vulernable to the kickout 3. They make it, and now we're only up by 1.

I about had a heart attack, glad we pulled it out after this.

Affolter has been great in Molly Davis' absence, but last night was a clear example of what Molly's loss means. That TO fest in the first half would have been contained if Molly were available to help CC handle the ball. And Molly likely would have saved the Hawkeyes most of the late TOs that nearly cost the Hawkeyes the game.

And then Molly always has a knack for hitting clutch threes and even driving the lane. Make no mistake: Affolter has been crucial, but to have had Molly in there to handle the ball last night would have made things a whole lot easier, yet I don't think her name was even mentioned on the broadcast, and that's a shame.

Her moving to the starting lineup I believe is the reason Iowa is where it is.

thought it was so profound that you had to promote it?

For me it's the first Queens Of The Stone Age album. It blew me away and I had to tell everyone about it ad nauseum. I'm 100 I was annoying.

Looks like Aaron Brooks won the Hodge surprising no one. Great Athlete and well deserved imo.

LSU women’s basketball star Angel Reese announced Wednesday in an interview with “Vogue” that she is entering this month’s WNBA draft.
Reese, whose final college season ended Monday night in a loss to Iowa in the NCAA tournament’s Elite Eight, led the Tigers to a national championship last year.


“I’ve done everything I wanted to in college,” Reese said in the interview. “I’ve won a national championship. I’ve gotten SEC player of the year. I’ve been an all-American. My ultimate goal is to be a pro — and to be one of the greatest basketball players to play, ever. I feel like I’m ready.”
Reese joins Iowa star Caitlin Clark, Stanford’s Cameron Brink, Tennessee’s Rickea Jackson and South Carolina’s Kamilla Cardoso among the top players in the April 15 draft.

How soon will the ratings be released from last night's game? Have to be all time highs, right? TIA

Diplomat us? Ambassador us? That would be better than attack us or attach us.

There will be Facebook memes and twitter rants galore. Sure, there might be a few scuffles here and there but that should tell you everything you need to know about the left.
