I don’t know if this is new info or not, but Dolph said tonight that Cooper Koch’s issue is respiratory in nature.

I wonder if it’s long covid

Cooper is smiling in this video.

Drew is not seen.

Fran used the word “flare up” when talking about Thelwell, but it sounds like he practiced all week. He was dressed for the game, but had a huge limp when moving around.

You’d think Fran would be getting tired of these comments. - we hear them from opponents usually a couple of times per season.

Fran emphasizes not turning the ball over like crazy; he likes no more than 11 per game

I will never understand why Fran does not emphasize rebounding because, obviously, when you rebound the ball, you possess the ball. And you can only score if you possess the ball. And we know Fran likes offense.

Tbf, in previous years they’ve usually been within sight of at least breaking even on the boards.

Was it you or someone else that did some digging about iowas defense actually being solid when defending the first shot, but it’s that 2nd and 3rd shot that’s really killing the defensive analytics?

it would have been someone else bringing up 2nd and 3rd shots

I do know that second chance points off of offensive rebounds have been killing us (cost us in the Clown U game, for sure)

full text of tweet:

Drew on playing against Indiana: “I will be ready to go, and I will be juiced”.

Twice he said he was going to play. Great interview.

Team replayed and chatted about McGee viral clip about Iowa's defense, they know they need to change and have mindset to want it more than the other team every night.
