LIVE STATS

Watching Duke-Arkansas right now and saw this stat. Let's keep this going.

Here is part 2 of the quiz. Maybe a couple you won't know the number because it's too easy? We will see. Take the quiz now.

I listen to podcasts on YouTube music usually. The last few days when I check the CF feed there, it's completely empty, no podcasts at all. Has anyone else had this problem?

Is signing up and paying for FloSports the only way to view the game on Friday? Or does anyone know of a restaurant or sportsbar in the Cedar Rapids area that will be carrying the game?

I might be stuck with the Varsity App.

Another time of year comes where I give thanks for the amazing community that is CF. I've been through alot and currently doing so and I'm thankful for the encouraging posts, pm's etc.

So pumped about this team and felt this would be a fun discussion.

2024-2025 - Had Gilbert and Lipsey entered March healthy I felt that was a team that could make a Final 4 and even win a national title. Curtis Jones is irreplaceable. With that said, it was clear Dishon Jackson wasn't an ideal fit in TJs system. Undeniable there was some friction impacting team chemistry with the Gilbert stuff second half of year.

2025-2026 - Lipsey, Jefferson, Momcilovic and Heise are another year older and more experienced. When Lipsey is healthy, he is the best PG in the country. Period. Jefferson playing like an All-American...such a unique game and so hard to defend. Milan is now an upperclassmen and his confidence is at an all-time high. Buchanan is a perfect fit at the 5. Toure...Im not even sure what to say. With his emergence my hopes for this team jumped from top 25ish type team and likely a 4/5 seed in the tournament...and now I think we have a top 5-10 roster that may very well be odds on favorite to win the Big 12 and grab a 1/2 seed in the tournament.

Beating Kansas on senior day. Three straight days of basketball wins, 2 beat downs and a top 15 win. A win over Oklahoma State to end the season at 8-4. Finally beat the hawks on Sunday and end the dual streak. Any other comparable weeks?
