    2024 Mens CBB Coaching Carousel

    There is a church about every other mile in rural Arkansas, so Tang should take that job and fit in quite well.

    Time for a Real Discussion About Caitlin Clark

    I think the TipTop ought to memorialize their stupidity with a theme to the tune of the song American Pie. The refrain could go something like: Bye, Bye to the TipTop dive Drove my Chevy to refresh me, But it was now H*wkeye.... Sorry, I can't type dirty words in a public forum. I think it is...

    Cyclones a contender in 2024

    Our season record will largely depend on our place kicking. Success, or lack thereof, will sway our record plus or minus two games from say a reasonable expectation of 7 and 5. The offense and defense will both basically meet our expectations; that leaves place kicking (a special teams...

    Time for a Real Discussion About Caitlin Clark

    VanLith could not guard Clark. She wore down and surrendered just as the screenshot above shows. I can not for the life of me can figure out why LSU failed to rotate a bigger player onto Clark earlier in the game. When they did late in the game, Clark had to deal with a different challenge on...

    Jalynn Bristow Transferring

    I hate the losing Bristow and her potential as much as anyone. I understand her homesickness and am guessing she might land next at a school a lot closer to home. On top of that issue, I want to hope that the LSU transfer Williams has progressed and developed enough that Jalynn saw that...

    ***Official 2024 Transfer Thread***

    I think that Damarian Watson lost confidence in his shot last year (not unusual for a freshman) and hestated to pull the trigger from outside this year. I would love to see him work with the shooting coach (Eric Crawford?) that helped Lipsey so much this past year. Then the sky is the limit for...

    Iowa State Transfer/Recruiting Class 2024

    If the "loan" rumblings have some traction, why not use Indian Hills as a one year testing grounds. That school has a tradition of success. Omaha could potentially light it up there and come right back to Iowa State the following year for more competitive development if needed.

    2024 NCAA Tournament Thread

    If her knee has healed properly, I think Stephanie Soares will have a much better career than Brink in the WNBA.

    Which Iowa border state would you be most afraid of in a state vs state civil war?

    The POW camp was outside of Algona where the local airport is located now. You are right that the POW museum is just down from the Dairy Queen, which has typically been closed for the winter. That DQ has been for sale beore so the closure might have become permanent. "Silent Night in Algona" is...

    Time for a Real Discussion About Caitlin Clark

    I can not believe that no one has suggested a drinking game for every time CC whines, begs for a call, and shows poor sportsmanhip. The serious drinkers could also include her slumped shoulders after a missed shot and how she then quits playing defense. Most games one could pass out before...

    Nyamer Diew Transferring

    Looked like a fun teammate. Her major is Psychology and she will very likely get a good start on a Masters degree at a school that is strong in her major. Best of luck to her in basketball, school, career, and life.

    Hell of a season

    This team worked so hard and improved so much over the year. They worked hard and well together. Big Rob grew into a bigger force than I ever imagined that he could. Tre King deserved two full years and was a load down low. Hassan, basically lost a year because he was forced to start late, but...

    Jalynn Bristow Transferring

    I am disappointed about Jalynn leaving too and also think that she has a wealth of potential. I will enjoy watching her succeed wherever she ends up. I have not read all of the speculation here, but it may come down to the fact that Jalynn was extremely homesick the first semester. That may be...

    Tough day for EIU hoops hopes

    It is really simple. College basketball is a guard orientedbgame. You absolutely need good guards to be successful. TOE has two poor scholarship guards right now.

    Momcilovic to lottery pick

    I see Milan much in the mold of Grady **** from Kansas last year. He should have stayed at KU one more year (glad he didn't) because he wasn't ready for the NBA yet. Milan, should go through the pro evaluations this spring. He can learn what they feel he needs to work on and add to his game...

    Twister Sister Summary - Season closes in epic fashion

    I have to add also, that I am a big fan of Jalynn Bristow and her athleticism. Jalynn, appears to me to be a bit like a young foal, still finding her footing. At times she appears a bit awkward only because she is still growing into her size and frame. By that I mean that she can get bumped...

    Twister Sister Summary - Season closes in epic fashion

    The Iriafen gal had a great game, but I really became her fan when she was interviewed after the game. Iriafen was very humble and when asked about Audi said she was "A friendly giant and such a sweet gal." Truely great evaluation of Audi and the player that we have all come to know and...

    K-State's "One Shining Moment"

    It looks like Perkins- 2nd team Sandfort-third team, and Freeman- Honorable mention. Krikke got some sportsmanship recognition, which is not all conference. Do they start only three players? Perhaps they can use that as an excuse for missing the real tournament this year. Actually this appears...

    2024 Mens CBB Coaching Carousel

    I am not sure Oklahoma State made the right move. They have good young talent that could all move on now leaving them to start completely over in the nation's toughest league. Not to mention, that they got hosed with the one year post season suspension for doing much less than KU did and then...

    Tang Postgame Comments

    What a first class PUTZ, for calling out, naming, and labeling Lipsey a flopper. Coach Putz never even needed to say who he thinks is at the top of the league in that category no matter who e thought it might be. He and every other coaching staff in the league know how important Tamin is to our...
