Similar to what Dawn did this year. I mean a rotation were all nine ( maybe 10) players get over 15 minutes of meaningful time against even high quality opponents. Not counting players who only see mop up time.
I am told that Geno has used 9 player meaningful time rotations in the past but...
Has anybody heard how the Big is gonna schedule conference games? They were already beginning conference play in December - ahead of other conferences. With 4 new members, that's two additional weeks of play for the existing teams just to play everybody once. Will they adjust by each team...
Well, here we are with 5 seasons under our belts- the midway point of the decade. The current draft class will carry us through 2029.
So who do you expect to be considered the top 8 programs of the decade when all is said and done? Can UCLA elevate? They haven't performed a that level. Can...
May you both be considered Power Programs in the future!
Good game Beavers. Hope y’all win the last PAC Baseball Championship. I’ll probably pull for you in Omaha
UConn: I expected a top four finish. That expectation remains a possibility.
LSU: I expected a top four finish. The expectation remains a possibility.
Iowa: expected a top four finish. The expectation remains a possibility.
Stanford: I expected a top four finish. They have failed.

We marveled at the stats put up by the outstanding freshman class. Here we are at the Sweet 16 and many of the class have contributed greatly to their team's participation to this point. Indeed, we could see the (almost) unthinkable - a freshman MOP of the tournament! Crooks didn't make it but...

When we first learned of the NET, we said "Oh Boy! Objectivity in choosing/seeding teams for Tournament.
Then, we learned that the selection committee has the discretion to depart from those rankings. Uh, okay I guess that's needed.
Then, we learned about all the things that they could...
Ohio State @ Iowa FOX 1:00
I’m expecting a regular season record TV audience for this sold out Big Ten battle. I think a win by tOSU clinches a top 4 seed. An Iowa win keeps their hopes alive to clinch one with a repeat performance.
Of course, any TV viewership Record could fall again next...
Okay folks. The first committee reveal is this Thursday during/before the South Carolina at Tennessee game. Same rules as for our New Year;s poll.
You don't have to precisely rank the teams 1-16. Instead, please rank them into the four seeds you expect them to fall into like we did for New...
Yes, I realize the others are still in the race for FOTY, and you might actually choose a different player, but this poll will limit you to these two - about whom there is so much discussion
I’m a Hidalgo efficiency fan
The past weekend's Iowa vs. Indiana Game drew a million viewers. It was the second game of the 2023-2024 season to exceed that mark. As far as I remember, only one game (LSU @ SCar) exceeded 1 million last year during the regular season. I hope we have a few more this year.
Here is a summary of...
A pair of games today will have a big effect on conference titles in the Big 10 and Big 12 today. Both have major seeding implications.

We saw some great performance by freshman guards yesterday and more are probably coming this week.
the 2024 class was loaded with top guards. For a change, I'm gonna use prospect Nation's guard rankings (because the top 25 is so guard heavy)
