	I watched the game last night on Big Ten Network. What a horrible display. We are terrible to say the least. We will be lucky to get 10 wins this season. I watched the whole thing. I'm pretty much done watching already. We are going to get absolutely pounded in the Big Ten. We have no size. We have NO ONE to take a guy off the dribble one on one. Lickliter is going to be gone. He's a good coach, BUT he can't recruit with his slow ball style, anyone with pro aspirations. You have to have a some talent to consistantly win. Nothing against the kids, they are definitely going to learn the hard way. Lick needs to open up the offense and at the very least let these kids have fun and score some points. iowa doesn't have the ball ahndlers to even run a half court set against a sub-division team. Now that is horrible. Well i am not looking to post much else for the rest of the season.......because quite frankly ....our season is TOAST !!!!!!!!!!! GO HAWKS !!!!!!!!!

	I hate to say it but I agree totally. I have always loved Hawk basketball. But without a doubt this is the most boring brand of ball I have winessed in my over 4 decades of support. I hated Bennett basketball at Wisconsin- but he at least made progress toward winning. This team won't win 10 games. And the future is not bright. No true quickness and no height. Probably will be time to turn the page at the end of the year unless drastic improvement is nade. The attendance alone will sink the coach. Watching a team you hope can win 50-48 won't attract fans.

	I think that by the end of the year iowas football team will have more wins than the basketball team. I loved on the news when they said that the Hawks were stunned tonight with their lost to Duquane(sp) like they expected them to win with the way that the looked in UTSA game. I love the hawkeyes but I just can't bear to watch them anymore.

	They pass the ball around the perimeter for 30 seconds (if one of the telegraphed passes doesent get stolen) then cast up a desperation 3 ponter and make about 7.9% of them. They can't penetrate because they have no one that can create any space. And why do they ALWAYS go away from the pick that Cole or Fuller set 32 feet away from the basket? Use the damm screen once and a while. I have been a die hard Fan for more than 30 years. This is as bad as it has ever been. If this team has 5 wins by seasons end it will be a small miracle. I will not waste my time watching this product any more.

	No kidding the hawks are tragic and Lackluster is soon going to have a migraine with this team, opps sorry in the hospital with one! I am confident that SIX wins will be a stretch with a 0-16 Big Ten season could happen! The B10 will pound them and their first four games will be complete blow outs...............Purdue will win by 20+ and MSU........hide the children! The AD was dupped into hiring him and he will not last the season once the stands empty out! The program is all but destroyed..............SIX WINS, OUCH! The football coach is defending him from the angry mob!
