Iowa beat Wisconsin on Sunday and as a reward they get... another game with Wisconsin in the first round of the Big Ten Tournament on Wednesday.

Iowa-Wisconsin is set to tip off at approximately 7:30 PM CT on Wednesday. The game will air on Peacock.

Full write-up, including bracket:

The team, the fan base, Iowa’s basketball reputation need a change. Just do it!

Jan was asked that question.

Or are there just a couple (South Carolina, UConn)?

Or do blue bloods exist anymore with NIL?

There is just ONE TEAM (Iowa) in the nation that has made 2 consecutive national championship game appearances.

How long will the Caitlin Clark effect last for the Iowa program?

The Trump administration is considering ending all ongoing shipments of military aid to Ukraine in response to President Volodymyr Zelensky's remarks in the Oval Office on Friday and his perceived intransigence in the peace process, a senior administration official told The Washington Post.

The decision, if made, would apply to billions of dollars of radars, vehicles, ammunition and missiles awaiting shipment to Ukraine through the presidential drawdown authority, said the official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss a sensitive topic.

The consideration of withholding arms for Ukraine as it fends off a full-scale invasion from Russia underscores the dramatic plunge in relations between the erstwhile allies after the contentious Oval Office exchange between Zelensky, President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance.

The official pushed back on the notion that Trump and Vance's confrontation with Zelensky was premeditated and noted that efforts were made to strike a more positive tone in planning ahead of the meeting as indicated by Trump's dropping of his accusation that Zelensky is a "dictator."

Anyone know his connections or area of recruitment. Seems to do well with under-recruited transfers and guards. Is he just better at evaluating under recruited talent from the portal or lucky?

If Fran retires, the new coach will need to clean house and upgrade talent across the board. This is YMCA level garbage.

CNN —
Foreign adversaries including Russia and China have recently directed their intelligence services to ramp up recruiting of US federal employees working in national security, targeting those who have been fired or feel they could be soon, according to four people familiar with recent US intelligence on the issue and a document reviewed by CNN.

The intelligence indicates that foreign adversaries are eager to exploit the Trump administration’s efforts to conduct mass layoffs across the federal workforce – a plan laid out by the Office of Personnel Management earlier this week.

Russia and China are focusing their efforts on recently fired employees with security clearances and probationary employees at risk of being terminated, who may have valuable information about US critical infrastructure and vital government bureaucracy, two of the sources said. At least two countries have already set up recruitment websites and begun aggressively targeting federal employees on LinkedIn, two of the sources said.
