Hoops Scrimmage Photo Gallery

White team seems severely undermanned, but some cool pictures - thanks for sharing. Can’t wait for some Hawk hoops!
 
Garza schooling the freshman

The freshman.....well this is supposed to be a free year right? No one needs to RS.

So, I think that early in the year they play at the end of the early season blow outs...and as the season progresses you will see them get spot minutes as they show that they are ready AND the other way they see minutes is with injury/illness.

I could see the Murray twins getting time due to less depth at the PF.......but we just have to see how the season plays out.
 
Photographs are nice, but after last year ended abruptly because of Covid, a five minute video would have given us fans more to savor until the start of the season whenever it begins.
How would Big Ten football or NFL football be for that matter, be excepted if they only put on TV, photos of the game instead of the game itself. Probably wouldn't go over too well.....

Do you not think they are going to air the basketball games this season?
 
it looks like Josh Ogundele didn't get in. At least as far as the photos showed.

McCaffery said the only one of the five freshmen who might be lagging behind a bit is 6-foot-10, 285-pound Josh Ogundele. He wasn’t able to get into the U.S. from his native England until late in the summer and he has battled injuries and illnesses.

McCaffery said Ogundele is still working to get into shape.


“The other four guys were here in the beginning, and all four of them, the Murray twins, Ahron and Tony, they've been tremendous,’’ he said. “All those guys are ready to play. It's not going to be easy to find minutes for them if everybody else stays healthy, but we'll see where it ends up because we're going to need everybody at some point.’


 
And we don't know why Ogundele isn't in that gallery, it could just be that he is dinged up. But I presume his inexperience and physical shape will preclude him from getting significant minutes. Connor, the Murrays, Wieskamp, and Baer will probably fill some of those scrappy interior/'4' depth minutes that Till and Pemsl played last year. We'll see how Iowa can handle games where Garza and Nunge both have foul trouble against an opponent with big post depth.

What do you think Legend? Usually schedules are in place by the end of July or early August.....plunty of time for various networks to work out schedules for the multitude of games that span over an entire season. Not so much this season as I see it. Since their inception, the BTN has refused to use their alternate channels for anything other then football games in the fall, will they change that this year? I'm not holding my breath...
The only games that us fans know for sure, fingers crossed, are the North Carolina game that will be aired on ESPN on the 8th of December and the Gonzaga game to be aired on CBS on the 19th of December. Other then that not so much.
In the past all Big Ten games have been televised live on a multiple channels including BTN, ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNU, FS1, NBCS, CBSS, Fox, CBS, NBC, & ABC. But then again will that be the case this year?
I'm hopeful that some news will be released within a few more days, finger crossed!

I think the big will screw us over and not show all games for all teams. They have had 6 months to figure it out!! If they will not do it then let local channels televise games they won’t

How would that be different than any other year? Iowa usually has a few games on +.
 
All Big Ten games will be on national TV (per usual), as will Gonzaga, North Carolina, and ISU. The other non-conference games have a good chance to be on BTN, too. There may be a game that is only on BTN+ but that's probably less likely this year with Iowa being a top 5 team.

Exactly. The number of games on + diminished last year because Iowa has some expectations. I would be surprised if Iowa has more than two games on + this year.
 
We are so talented and have so much depth it’s insane.. Uhlis is bigger than his NBA-brother & is rumored to have a much sweeter stroke - and that type of kid is going to struggle finding minutes.. who would’ve thought?

Fran the man!

I'll put down some $$ right now that Baer will not be playing minutes over the Murray twins. He got a few minutes last year as did Ash because the bench was so depleted at times. With five good looking frosh, AND no loss of eligibility there is no reason not to play any of the freshman over the walk ons.....

I'm not promoting playing Baer nor do I think he will be needed in any significant minutes. If we see Baer it'll probably be in garbage blowout minutes. To your point, even garbage minutes should include a lot of freshmen for their own development. But I do think Iowa could have problems when Garza and Nunge have any combo of foul trouble or injury. That's the concern I was getting at because I'm mildly concerned about Ogundele, but that could be very premature on my end.

Well, I certainly do not recall Luka being in much foul trouble, last year, or the year prior.
Too smart of a basketball player..........having Jack there to spell him will be sufficient, imho.
