    Fraschilla Sure Thinks Monte Has An NBA Future

    He mentioned it again a couple of times Saturday. I wouldn't disagree with him, hope Monte decides to postpone it for a year.

    Make More Free Throws Than The Opponent Attempts

    Tim Floyd was the first ISU coach that I heard use that benchmark. We were able to do that last year. ISU 502-721, Opp 366-499. Not close this year. ISU 97-146, Opp 84-130. Last year we shot 21.2 FT per game, this year 14.6. Opponents haven't changed too much. 14.7 last year, 13.0 this...

    LJ Sighting

    We're vacationing in Florida and were at Pete and Shorty's in Clearwater today. A guy walks in, sees my wife's ISU shirt and introduces himself. Turns out to be Leonard Johnson. Visited with us for a couple minutes and really seemed to be a nice guy. Later we noticed an autographed Paul...

    Cyclones and the NBA

    Babb, White and Garrett just got released. Brackins is in Europe. Clyburn, McGee and Lucious never got much of a look. I guess it just shows how large of a gap there is between college and the NBA - a good college player can't catch on as a 12th man in the NBA. I think that the last ISU...

    Herman, Messingham and Numbers

    In Herman's last year at Rice they averaged 41 ppg, the year after he left they averaged 18. In 3 years here we averaged 22. The year before he got to Ohio State they averaged 28, since he has been there they averaged 41. Are those difference due to a different scheme or different play...

    The States Disappearing NBA Talent

    After reading about Morris being Michigan's Mr. Basketball, I looked up the past Iowa winners. Starting in 1991 the winners were Hoiberg, Pothoven, Settles, LaFrenz, Spanich, Wessel, Oliver, Newman, Collison and Hinrichs (co-winners). Also in that time frame were Korver, Bowen and Meyer. Out...

    A Little History From 88-89

    In 1988-89 we went 9-3 in non-conference, 6-8 in conference, 1-1 in tthe Big 8 tournament and made the NCAA (lost to UCLA). That year in conference we went 1-6 on the road (beat Colorado) , 6-1 at home. Our average margin of loss in our 6 road losses was 24 points, including an 82-127 loss at...

    Bubu Vs. Iowa Last Year

    Last year in the Iowa game Bubu played 30 minutes, scored 14 points, went to the free throw line 15 times and had a 6/1 assist to turnover ratio. That's what we needed from somebody this year.

    50 Consecutive Winning Seasons

    I was just listening to the QC local TV broadcast. They mentioned that the Geneseo, Illinois high school football team just completed their 50th consecutive winning season. I'm curious whether any Iowa high schools are close to anything like that.

    Brackins First Game - DNP Inactive

    Looked at the 76er's box score from last night. Brackins was listed as DNP- Inactive. I have not heard anything lately. Is Brackins injured or has he just not made the playing roster at this time.

    I'm Not Getting The Economics Behind 16 Team Leagues

    As I understand the main sources of revenue for a conference are TV package, bowl games and NCAA basketball tournament. The Big10 for instance is splitting those funds 11 ways. By going to a 16 team league they would have to split 16 ways meaning each category would have to increase 45% just...

    How Long Before We Make The NCAA Tournament Again

    I can remember the day WM was hired. I told a friend that I thought it would be 7 years before we made the NCAA tournament again. I figured 4 years before WM was let go and 3 years for his replacement to make the tournament. Turned out to be wrong on that when WM made the NCAA's in his second...

    Elite Players - B12 vs. MVC

    In the past 5 years there have been 26 players drafted out of the B12 and 1 out of the MVC. There are currently 33 B12 players on NBA rosters, 4 from the MVC. Kyle Korver who is averaging around 7 ppg this year, is probably the second best player to come out of the MVC in the past 10 years. I...

    Iowan Jeremy Hellickson - Future MLB Star?

    The website Baseball Prospectus has started their ratings of each teams minor league prospects. I see where Jeremy Hellickson is rated as the Rays No. 2 prospect and is rated 5 stars (out of 5). By his bio he is a grad of DM Hoover. I haven't heard of him before, but based on their ratings...

    Can Jeter Catch Pete Rose

    Derek Jeter currently has 2747 hits at age 35. At the end of his age 35 season Pete Rose had 2762. He then played another 10 years and finished with 4256. At 200 hits per season Jeter would have to play 8 more years to break Rose's record. I think it would be a real long shot. Not that many...

    I Guess Chizik Couldn't Recruiting Linebackers

    Looking at our current 2 deeps for linebacker. SLB - Raven, Rumple MLB - Jesse Smith, Taufoou WLB - Garrin, Schmidgall That is 5 players left over from McCarney (3 of them originally walk-ons) and one player recruited by Rhoads. Not a single player in 2 Chizik recruiting classes in the 2 deeps.

Six players completed their eligibility - Bass, Bibbs, Blaes, Dedrick, Tate and Wier. Eight players left -...

    McDermott's Statement on Lucca Yesterday

    The following is from today's Quad City Times based on an interview from the Tailgate tour. McDermott said Staiger flew home to Germany on Tuesday night without indicating his future plans. "Ultimately the decision will be his. We've talked and I'm sure we will continue to do so, but nothing...
