I think it was answered elsewhere but I’ll ask again. Can BTN+ games be played on replay to subscribers?
Nephew is playing for a shot at the Dome tonight.

yes, they are normally available around midnight in past but noticed last night when the stream finally became available for the women's game when i started it, it opted to start at beginning or join live so they may have them available immediately now?
I believe that if you sign up under Iowa for $9.95/month, you would get access to replays of Iowa games that were broadcast on FOX, FS1, BTN and BTN +.
Therefore, I think the replay of last night's Iowa women's game should be there, on demand. When the replay shows up I do not know.
Someone would have to confirm what I just typed, though.
@Suterman , is what I typed above correct? If so, when do replays appear?
Thanks.
Hearing a lot of expert opinions assuming Ogundele will not be a factor. Mostly due to him not being able to handle much playing time. I assume that is all guess work because they aren't at practice. I hope that is all wrong (that would be a shock huh), and he turns out being a major factor on this team. That could completely change the complexion of this team / season.
I heard he has gotten into shape and looks the part now.
Several actually had doubts about the reports on Josh's weight & conditioning and wondered why we were still talking about his conditioning issues.
The latest report on Josh was just 9 days ago, on Oct 27. And Josh was, and I quote, "still developing and getting his wind."
The Timeline:
(1) On June 29 it was reported that while Josh has made huge strides from a conditioning standpoint, Ogundele knows that there still is much work to be done. LINK to that article: www.hawkfanatic.com/2021/06/29/josh-ogundele-has-one-clear-focus-during-summer-workouts/
(2) On Oct 20, the Des Moines Register quoted Fran saying that "Josh is sustaining effort more. He lost a lot of weight. He's down to the 260s. But he has to get even better in that area and he knows it."

(3) On Oct 27, during a Hawkeye Report Podcast, Tom said the Iowa big men have struggled. Tom said that Filip is still adjusting, Josh Ogundele is still developing & getting his wind and that Riley is adjusting to physical basketball at this level against grown men.
Skip ahead to the 23:50 mark where they talk about this year's team.
Michigan, Purdue, & Illinois all have really good big men. Tom said this Iowa team will miss Jack Nunge; Jack would have started at the 5 this year for Iowa.
LINK TO THAT PODCAST:
Last night during the women's game the entire men's team sat right in front of me for the first half. Most of the team were pretty quiet but Patrick was a loudmouth, calling out the plays like other zealous fans.
Really? I heard he was looking like the next Zion Williamson in practice and coaches are doing all they can to tamp down expectations.
Josh O could be in good enough shape to play and make a difference, but may not be where the staff wants him. It doesn’t have to be one or the other.
Also, not sure how much they’ll miss Nunge. Hard to miss someone who didn’t play much due to various circumstances. It’d be great to have him though.
If Josh can come in and play 10-12 minutes of good defense against the Cockburn’s and Edey’s of the B1G, that’ll be plenty valuable.
He did really well in his flash against Cockburn last year.

Illinois fans still talk about the job that Benjamin Bosnans-Verdonk did on Garza last season in a short stint. Used his strength to move Garza further from the basketball. Held him scoreless in his flash. Do you remember that?
BBV is fourth string center this year. Still available for a short stint if someone is in foul trouble, though.
Screw it. Get the five best players on the court and let's run the opposing team's big man off the court.
Kris
Keegan
Pat
Bohannon
JT

Which of those five will be taking the ball out of the net and passing it inbounds?
Everyone says we should run & press more because we are longer and more athletic. I’m afraid it’s fool’s gold to perfect that against the first six opponents - then meet the same level of athletes in the B1G and be forced into a half court game they didn’t want or practice as much. Run more? Yes. New team identity from Fran? Not so much.
Kinda my though. Running has never been our problem. Half court execution and solid team defense is where improvement needs to be. Would like to think we have enough athletes to make it happen. Hopefully.
Mulvey looked really athletic in warm-ups. Hit 2 threes in a row. Joe T hit about everything from everywhere. Hope that happens in games.
Iowa really needs Joe T and Ahron U to be solid this year. The last thing I want to see is the need for Jordan to slide back to the 1 because our PGs are inconsistent.
