I would like to propose that Jirak autocorrects to The Pear going forward. I like the kid and think he deserves special HaLo treatment.
I don’t hate it but feel like we could do better. Let’s keep it on the short list

I was really hoping this board would change from 7th grade locker room bathroom talk immaturity to real basketball talk once games got started. This board is one sad and pathetic excuse for a basketball community message board. Iowa is a major Big 10 basketball program with a proud tradition and the dimwits on here give it a horrible name. Really really embarrassing. The real joke is that the little kids on here who have zero perspective have no idea how idiotic they sound. Hope some day when u get out of the family basement you will.

My last suggestion to you immature children would be to instead of taking all your energy you can muster and replying to this with your typical grade school garbage
humor, (which I won’t be reading anyway) take that same energy and go do something useful. Help an old lady across the street, read a book…or at least maybe a picture or coloring book.

That was a lot of fun until there were whistles every 8 seconds. Ball movement and cutting is beautiful. Defensive intensity was outstanding 1st half, just gotta tighten up the glass.

Good turnout by the students and having them right needing behind the baseline makes a big difference.

Wonder what the plan is for Thompson? Wouldn't imagine he reclassify to redshirt this year.

Why? He gets out of high school and into the program he wants and gets a bunch of money to train and learn for the year.
Yeah the money changes everything. Will take some time to get used to these types of situations.

I couldn’t believe my eyes during the first defensive possession. Guys actually rotating and getting back on hedges.

Everything about Frans teams the last couple years just looked lazy as hell. Even in garbage time last night the Iowa players were guarding to the point that they were close enough to foul the shit out of Robert Morris.

I was there last night to take in the first game of the new era. They ran a defensive drill during the pregame warmup and I was all in. I loved what I saw. Stirtz is the real deal. Loved what I saw from Banks and Manyawu. Folgueiras has a nice shot. Love the way Isaia Howard hustles. McCollum repeatedly turned to get the crowd pumped up after a big play. I loved what I saw last night and cannot wait to see them play against a team with a pulse to see what we can do. Even though that #16 on RMU was a nice player and I would be stunned if he doesn’t get a bag to play somewhere else next season.

I enjoy seeing players close out. Not sure we ever saw that in the past 15 years.

Also, McCollum didn’t play his son, so I guess L. Wade will have to bitch about the fact that he appeared to be the player giving the speech to the team before they ran out from the tunnel.
You must not know LWade. No chance he admits being wrong

Felt strange not seeing a million 3 attempts like we’ve been seeing with Frans teams

It would be better for him to play the last minute in a blowout than to preserve his redshirt.

He's talking about the last Drake transfer that got in the final minutes of the game. Joey something.
He said Fran hold over. There’s only one holdover

I was pleasantly surprised by Banks, Howard and Cam offensively. All anti-Fran type players when it comes to toughness around the basket.
I thought Banks and Howard looked good. Cam scored some junk, but I wasn't impressed with him offensively, as much. I assume even if he keeps starting for the defensive presence that Folgueiras will continue to get more minutes.
