How Did the Iowa men's Basketball Team do?

Well? The 2024-2025 season has been over for a week - the NCAA Championship game was on 4-7-2025. On Monday, October 7, 2024, I was cautiously optimistic about the season, per Iowa men’s basketball needs its returning stars to take the next step, so I'm just hoping that the 2024-2025 season turned out better than expected.

IA Loses Again at OSU

Sorry, I don't believe the "Fran doesn't care" statements and I don't believe the "lack of effort" statements either. I don't believe that any kid or coach walks into an arena to not compete. Of course everyone wants to compete!
They looked good in the first half. Then, their shots started to not go in. The response was to run down the floor and launch 3s... except those didn't go in. Like any competitor, OSU capitalized.
I don't blame them for launching 3s - they made 6 of 21 - so that strategy didn't work. Dix went 0 for 7 - so zero points after putting up 31 in an earlier game -- and P Sandfort was 5 for 16 so his shots weren't falling. Should Fran tell Dix and Sandfort to stop launching 3s? I am not a coach but I've heard announcers talk about shooting your way out of a slump. Is that an outdated idea?
Basketball is a game of makes & misses. OSU had more makes; IA had more misses. They have Purdue and then WI at home before heading out east for Rutgers & MD. My hope is that IA gets 2 wins at home and the mentality that it really doesn't matter what building they are playing in - they have the ability to win on the road. They have to find that mentality for any tournament(s) they want to play in after Sunday, 3-9, at NE.

I hope that the Indiana Pacers have a great season and make a run for the NBA finals for the 2024-2025 season!

Iowa men’s basketball needs its returning stars to take the next step

It's easy for me to get amnesia when I think about the Iowa men's basketball team coming into the 2024-2025 season. I vaguely remember being frustrated during the 2023-2024 season and (maybe) losing some games that should have been won, though that could be also based upon the legacy of the Iowa men's basketball team from previous seasons. All I know is that I will cheer for the team this year and hope that they have a lot of Ws at the end of the season!

Is it Iowa mens basketball season yet?!?

 Go Hawks! Their season kicks off with four games at Carver-Hawkeye Arena:

---

• Fri-Oct 25-Men's Basketball vs. Minnesota Duluth (EXH)
• Mon Nov 4 Texas_A and M–Commerce
• Thu Nov 7 Southern University
• Tue Nov 12 South Dakota

---

For the past 5 years, I always think about getting season tickets for the mens games... and I never have bitten the bullet and done it.

This article is from July. Look at the structure of the URL - it has 2024, followed by a slash, then a 7, followed by a slash, then a 10, followed by a slash. The issue I have with this structure is that you will never actually have the months line up in chronological order because the 7 should be 07 to deal with the "10" for October, the "11" for November, and the "12" for December. Yes, little piddly crap like that gnaw at me on a daily basis.

---

For the first time in the better part of a decade, the Iowa Hawkeyes are poised to start a basketball season with only the head coach bearing the last name McCaffery. In today’s world of transfer portal madness and NIL funding, the Hawkeyes lost a trio of players to the portal after last year’s 19-15 finish, including coach McCaffery’s middle son Patrick. Pat (Butler) was joined in departing by PG Dasonte Bowen (St. Bonaventure) and Tony Perkins (Mizzou).

How did the 2018-19 Season Go?

I wrote this post on Thursday, 9/20/2018, with 1 month, 2 weeks, and 1 day (45 days) until the 2018-2019 season begins. There's a lot of anticipation in light of the previous disappointing season. The reason for this post is to revisit this article, published 5 years ago today:

Can Iowa Reverse Its Recent Tailspin With Fran McCaffery? 14 comments Can the Hawkeyes get back on track after two rough years? By Thomas Beindit@tbeindit May 9, 2018, 9:43am CDT

How brave do I feel? Well, I predict the following 10 things:

1. Every player mentioned in the above article is likely to have graduated and to have moved on to the next phase in their lives and, to them, I hope they are doing well
2. Coach Fran McCaffery will still be the Iowa men's basketball coach. The only way that prediction is true is if Coach has led the team over the 4 years, 7 months, 2 weeks, 5 days (1692 days) since I wrote these words.
3. I work at the University of Iowa as a Senior Technical Writer - it will be my 2598th day (7 years, 1 month, 1 week, 4 days) in HCIS (though it could be called something different 5 years from now).
4. I am not using RoboHelp 2015 to do my work
5. Spit Out the Bone is regarded as a requirement on the Metallica setlist.
6. https://hcis.healthcare.uiowa.edu/ exists and is used daily. There is a Knowledge Repository.
7. I still adore Anthony Raneri?
8. Brett Kavanaugh is on the Supreme Court, despite https://freebeacon.com/blog/brett-kavanaugh-found-guilty-proven-innocent , which includes this gem:
   
9. No, like really, I still adore AR! Five years ago, there were 125,501 views for this video.
10. This was not my most recent Metallica concert:
