As long as we’re asking about players / roles. Having not been able to watch many games the past few weeks, I’m curious somewhat about Holmes.

He shoots a lot to get his points (37% from field so far) and has about a 1:1 assist to TO ratio. He’s just ok free throw shooter (65%) and averages 3-4 boards a game (not bad).

He took 15 shots last night to score 10 pts. That being said, he was +5. He is a man on the court for sure. Is he considered a lockdown defender and/or glue guy?

I'm sorry - "Erin on the side of Caution"?? Has anything declined as far and fast as ESPN? No wonder the Bear bailed out.

Big match today. It's on ESPN+, if you are not Hilton already! Looks like matches starting at 157 today.

NDSU against SDSU. Good game so far. Do we have any former Clones on either team?

I was either too excited or looking at the wrong thing.

Did Osun deflect or tip the inbounds attempt? Great move, btw, for TJ to put him on the inbounder.

Our hoops team really DOES win in the margins. I love the fact they play above their talent level. They win games they shouldn’t. Considering injuries, it’s pretty amazing.

If we keep doing this next year with all the talent coming in, we may beat NBA teams. Ha

I know about the FT discrepancies, but I think they actually did a pretty good job. Fran clearly pointed out the leg deal on the 3’s but those are tough to call.

Maybe Jones on the hard pick (thought he was set) and the subsequent blocking call on him, but other that those, pretty fair shake in the road.

SOLD

Thought maybe it deserved a separate post since the Clones were runner up to Indiana for Race Thompson. Race’s mom and my wife are good friends and former college teammates.

Per a text from his mom this AM, he is having an MRI this morning after getting rolled up by a Hawkeye last night.

Best case is a sprained knee and he’ll be back maybe for tournaments. Concern is he tore something and would be done for the year/career.

Course it had to happen at the Shit Hole that is Carver when he has 9 pts in the first 10 minutes…bad karma there man.

Jaz on the bench. Who’d a thunk it.

How can you not love TJ’s teams.

I know it is still early, but Ken Pom has all 10 Big 12 schools in his top 35. There are only 4 Little 10 schools( out of 14) that make the top 35. Right now the last bracketology has 8 Big 12 and 8 Little 10 schools in the dance. The Big 12 is essentially crazy good, actually dominating Mens Basketball. Iowa is currently 52 on Ken Pom, so if the last 2 in the Big 12 can not make the dance, Iowa should never even be considered.

Looks like our ending. Tied at 86 with -12.6 left. KS with ball. Goes to OT.

Watched a bit of the Drake/Murray State game. Our own CSP back in state leading the Racers. He had much the same success in Iowa today as he did in his last season in the state.

Props to Drake and their crowd. I realize it was a Saturday, which helps, but compared to some of the arenas I see across basketball this year, including Oklahoma this past week, good job outta them to fill up their building (with no students-since that is the excuse everyone else gives)

I know many don't care for Chris Hassel on here, but he had this tweet today, trolling all those who made fun of his tweet of 1.75 years ago touting the signing of Kalscheur. He tweeted then that Gabe would be a good fit for CTO. Click the play button to see the tweet scroll.

Tied at 56.

........Fired for cause!

Wasn't this supposed to be released in December?

Match starting at 157, Wyoming's best wrestler is at 157.

Who has information on the other kid we are recruiting hard in basketball? Asuma?

Can't remember which vet posted this, but they clearly love BP

Players are bailing in Stillwater and Gundy has pissed off the media. That is not a good combination.

Kadyn Proctor is an Iowa native and committed to the Hawkeyes back in June. But the day before the Early Signing Period opened, he opted to flip to Alabama. Proctor said he had “thousands” of people coming at him about the decision saying it came down to Alabama offering more money.

He finds that a little ironic given the Hawkeyes had a better NIL package.

“When these stories come out, I hope they understand that,” Proctor said. It wasn’t about the NIL money, because I’m not getting as much money as Iowa would’ve paid me.”
