I keep hearing rumors of Alford being in the mix for the New Mexico coaching job.
First off, if Alford wants to go, I’m sure Iowa will be able to find somebody equally, or even more so, qualified for the job. Secondly, all of the rumors say that Alford is toward the top of New [...]
Iowa was not one of the 32 teams selected for the NIT tournament. No dancing this year.
The NIT reduced down to 32 teams this year. One of the automatic selection criteria is any team that won their conference regular season but did not get into the tournament. There were 8 of those [...]
After the first Iowa - Michigan State game, I congratulated Alford on getting his 300th win and telling him that there was a small chance he could win me over.
After the second game, I remember why I want a new coach. Losing is at Michigan State is nothing to be embarrassed about. Getting [...]
I wish I could say that I was way off base with my prediction of the Hawkeyes vs Badgers game on last Saturday.
But, just like I said they:
Lost
Had trouble with the Badgers’ big guys
Had trouble rebounding
Had foul trouble (but with Smith, not the big guys)
Had trouble getting Haluska to score
I will say that not many [...]
Iowa is playing at Wisconsin this Saturday at 1pm. Iowa has to be feeling confident after the last couple of wins with Haluska and Smith just completely taking over the scoring load over the last few games.
Just like last week for the Illinois game, my dad and I will be working on finishing a [...]
If you read it on the internet it must be true.
So, I was caught off guard when I was happily reading a post on the P-C Hawk Blog talking about what happened up in Minnesota for the Hawkeye basketball team. (Make sure you click on the Show Original Post to get the actual post.)
Hawkeyes [...]
My dad and I were working on framing a basement about 45 minutes west of Chicago on Saturday. He brought a little radio on the off chance that we would get the signal of the Iowa - Indiana basketball game. Not only did the reception make it that far, but the broadcast happened [...]
My twins were born four years ago on January 31, 2003. The Hawkeyes gave me (or maybe them) a present by managing to beat Michigan on the road last night on their birthday. Good job Hawks. Way to fight back from an early deficit, play tough defense and win a game.
I won’t [...]
Iowa held Wisconsin to 57 points despite Tucker pretty much scoring every time he looked at the ball. That’s pretty decent. That will keep the Hawkeyes in the game.
But, between 12:34 and 2:38 in the first half, Iowa scored exactly 2 free throws. Two whopping points in nearly 10 minutes. Then [...]
I only was able to watch the end of both halfs of the Iowa - Michigan State basketball game (about 5-6 minutes of game time for each half). That was a nice win. Any time that Henderson and Haluska go a combined 4-20 from the field and Iowa still wins against a decent [...]
