**2026-2027 Iowa Basketball Season Thread**

[Verbal]

Each player gets his own personal rebounder/Uber driver/Door dash delivery guy.

 

[L. Wade Childress]

We are still showing too much of a profit!

 

[The Dad]

McKeever is as tall as McCollum sitting down.

 

[Hawk&Balls]

Mccollum sitting down is like 2 feet tall

 

[CleteyColgate]

14 players and 13 coaches...Good grief

Relax. This is the D1 varsity team, dude. We want coaches that will convert our boys into winners.

 

[douglasbader]

Iowa has one of the smaller support staff's now.

 

[CleteyColgate]

The women have 11 players and 12 coaches and staff members, which I just copied from another message board

What

 

[AZmessDAWG]

What

HE JUST COPIED IT FROM ANOTHER MESSAGE BOARD!

 

[Hawk&Balls]

Another message board?

 

[AZmessDAWG]

Another message board?

That’s what I’m hearing.

I’m sorry, Clete. We don’t tolerate taking information off other BBs and posting it here. The moderators will be in shortly to ban you. May god have mercy on your soul.

 

[Hawk&Balls]

Maybe clete should spend more time over there. For recon work. Yeah.

 

[CleteyColgate]

Yeah, but did you know that information before I shared it?

I care a lot about you all, and I invest in subscriptions so I can bring you details you’d otherwise have to track down yourselves.

maybe it’s just chilly in here

Your excuses make me sick, Clete.

5 of those are probably managers and another is a video guy, so maybe only 7 coaches. Better than most teams.

 

[CleteyColgate]

Your excuses make me sick, Clete.

You are a piece of work

 

[Greg Obrecht]

Yeah, but did you know that information before I shared it?

It’s pretty obvious that your HALO+ subscription expired many years ago. You’re not even in the chat group.

Put me on record that this team will significantly outperform preseason expectations. They’re going to be a nightmare to deal with by February.

What does significantly outperforming mean? For the record.

 

[L. Wade Childress]

You need guards to win in college. I don’t care how many tall, highly recruited wings and posts you have.

 

[Fletch]

Top 5 in the conference

 

[tallperson54]

Top 5 in the conference

I hope you are right. My concern is that we finish ~8th (outperforming preseason predictions), lose in the 1st weekend of the tourney, and lose the fanbase momentum we gained from last year during an otherwise successful season.

 

[L. Wade Childress]

I don’t see losing in the first weekend, or even missing the tourney, doing much to quell fan momentum unless we absolutely whiff on portal guards.

He’s relatable and did a nice job of stockpiling goodwill in year 1.

Shut the fuck up, retard.

 

[douglasbader]

OMG I'm so concerned!!!!!!!!!!!

Fucking losers.

 

[L. Wade Childress]

Shut the fuck up, retard.

AI is failing us all

 

[CleteyColgate]

Excited to watch Joey

 

[The Incredible Hawk]

Excited to watch Joey

Range?

 

[CleteyColgate]

Yes. He should have some eligibility.

 

[HerkyHopeful]

He just brought Iowa to an elite 8. I want to punch you in the nuts right now

 

[Shawneemicks]

I’m already losing interest after hearing about these exhibition games

 

[tallperson54]

OMG I'm so concerned!!!!!!!!!!!

Fucking losers.

Yep, exactly my tone. Nailed it

 

[tallperson54]

Perhaps I worded that poorly. That would be a successful season. I think some fans could also see that type of season as a step backwards after an elite 8 season. Maybe you have more faith in the iowa basketball fanbase than I do. Maybe I'm just very very stupid. Idk

[Hawk&Balls]

Info out of Madagascar is @BBK was edging this afternoon

 

[douglasbader]

What's worse, Kid's Day reports in Football or Secret Scrimmage reports in Basketball?

 

[Hawk&Balls]

I'll pm you a women's update doug

 

[Fletch]

I'll pm you a women's update doug

Beebs already did. But Doug deleted it without looking.

Lol losing interest after "hearing" about some shit 3rd hand

 

[CleteyColgate]

FUCK YA THEY BEAT Nebrantska TOO

 

[Shawneemicks]

Totally serious Clitty

Everything is a data point. I don't treat a scrimmage result as gospel, but I enjoy consuming this kind of information, so I share it for others who might feel the same. Interpret it however the hell you want. Not every piece of information needs to be a referendum on the state of the program or how the season will go. Sometimes it's just information. Amazing that this even needs to be explained.

It's a joke, you retard. Same as the initial 2-Deeps reaction we have every year.

Go down to K-Street and get a MAGA intern to grab your limp dick and live a little, brother.

 

[Stomper15]

I am not talking about you. Just stop.

[Lee Beevers]

I hope the Iowa Basketball team has a successful season! Ben is a really good coach, but this year will be different without Stirtz. I’m developing expectations despite being told to know better by @whammo!

 

[douglasbader]

Nope, just some chocolate and water tonight.
