Couple of observations. Terrific game by Addie Deal (the "Real Deal"). Fuerbach has improved immensely this season & is a very important cog. Stuelke needs to go back to work on her free throws - throwing up clunkers is going to bite UI sometime/s soon - way too inconsistent for a senior.

FINAL: FADE TO BLACK...& GOLD
Iowa 74 - Oregon 66
The #Hawkeyes led the entire game. Got a bit sloppy towards the end, gave the Duck some fleeting hope - largely due to what appeared to be a lack of concentration. Nevertheless they pull off another #B1G win & remain undefeated in conference play.

Just wondering. How many of you have gone out grocery shopping today with your 3 $1 bills to buy your dinner? Serious question.

MBB: FADE TO BLACK...
Purdue 79 - Iowa 72
The #Hawkeyes led for a good part of this game - played so much better than their last 2 where they dug deep holes for themselves - but still come up short. PtsPaint + Free Throws a big difference in this one. PU's nearly impossible to beat at home.

Iowa 56 - Indiana 53
The #Hawkeyes dug themselves a big hole early (sound familiar?) - but unlike UI MBB today, the Women stormed from behind, controlled the 2H, won a #B1G road game (extremely hard), & remain undefeated in conference play! Iowa improves to 14-2, 5-0.

I don't really understand the "Karen" reaction from Packer Fans. I say that at least once a day during the NFL Season. #Bears
My favorite part about this Packer fan being butthurt over Ben Johnson saying "FTP" in the Bears' locker room around his players is that it was said in the Bears' locker room around his players. Not like he went to a podium at the NFL Draft and said it.

Illinois 75 - Iowa 69
Another game where the #Hawkeyes dug themselves into a deep hole, fought back late in the 2H, then run out of time & come up just short. 2nd game in a row. Certainly can't let this become a pattern. UI drops to 12-4, 2-3. Can't afford #B1G losses at CHA.

But that gummy I might not have made it! Another phenomenal comeback. (By the way, that's 3 wins out of the last 4 games vs. the Packers - just in case anyone was wondering.)

Hard to believe the #Bears have won 11 games with a defense that is this bad. Without turnovers this defense sucks. The Flower embarrassing Dennis Allen tonight so far.

Minnesota 70 - Iowa 67
Incredible comeback by the #Hawkeyes comes up just ever so short at the buzzer. You cannot count this UI team out under McCollum. Really tough #B1G road loss.
Iowa returns to action hosting Illinois on Sunday.

Ben McCollum stayed out of a second-half huddle in Saturday's game and let his players sort it out. It's a sign that the first-year Iowa coach has a good grasp of the pulse of his team. It's THE MONDAY TIPOFF. iowacollegehoops.com/2026/01/05/t...

I'm already prepped for tonight's Seahawks - 49ers Game. Normally would cheer for George (and even Purdy - although that gives me some heartburn). But tonight it's all Seattle - because that's what's best for the #Bears!

The message is not sub-textual. "I can abduct with impunity anyone," is a clear threat to the Congress. I'm not a mystic but there isn't much time.

Iowa ends 2025 allowing just 16.1 PPG.
It’s now the 10th (!!) consecutive season the Hawkeyes have allowed fewer than 20 PPG.
No other FBS program currently has a streak longer than four (4) years.
And for Iowa, it’s been a decade.
