I'd be happy with 1 more if we finish with an 11-game winning streak.

A couple is two.A few is three or four.Several is up to five.A number of is indeterminate.A lot of is more than five and less than infinity. So between 15-40 wins.

An assistant coach should have his own thread, no? USA coach joins Hoiskers.

It's also been a long winter of family tragedy — Mom died in November and Dad has been in and out of the hospital since — so watching bad basketball wasn't on my to-do list.

After 55 years of fandom, I gave up on Hoiberg. I may have been wrong to do that. Be kind.

No Shit Sunday. As in "we give zero shits that you're the Big Ten champs."

The last full game I watched — the Colorado exhibition this year. Second, Peru State.

Speaking of them, they went zero-for-15 from 3-point range Thursday night against Purdue but still won by 13, in part because the Hawks made 27-of-30 free throws. Warnock was zero-for-4 from deep. Which Hawkeyes will show up? The ones that haven't shot well for 13 games, or the ones that were unconscious at PBA?

Iowa went 0-for-15 from deep against Purdue Thursday night. Warnock was 0-for-4.

Iowa entered the game shooting 25 percent from 3. Even without Warnock's unreal shooting, the rest of the team was 4-of-10. I think Clark's celebrity status here in Iowa City has changed her. She was much less full of herself as a frosh.

Iowa jumps out to 9-0 lead against IUPUI in Hell ... sorry, "Iowa City" ... led by as many as 18 and took a 62-47 lead into the fourth. IUPUI outscores the Hawkeyes 27-11 in the fourth quarter to win 74-73. Clark scored 19, but was just 1-of-7 from deep. Team was 4-of-22. Poor Lisa.

It's the only team I'm paying attention to.

You're not alone, @Norm Peterson.

Glad I didn't watch. I've pretty much had it with watching the Big Red lose. Don't know if I'll ever tune in again. I'm DVR'ing them all, just in case. Have fun, everybody.

Revised prediction: WIU More NU Less 6 non-cons 10 total

In the words of philosopher and boat poet Peter John Fleck: "Culture over talent."

Can you explain that to my therapist?

We're an NBA prep program, but not a winning program, apparently. Good for Alonzo and Bryce. I'm sure the game helped their draft status. For the rest of us, this was the annual cold-shower game.

Heartache.

@aphilso1 What a week or so, eh? SKC gets humbled by Austin, and then gets screwed against RSL. Huskers have a chance versus OSU, but ... well, you know. And now the men's basketball annual cold shower game. Oy.

It gets tiresome, doesn't it, that most people have no concept what kind of city or how large Lincoln is. Having lived in Colorado for 23 years, Florida for 6 (felt like 60), Kansas for 4 and now Iowa for 5, I'm tired of trying to explain that Lincoln, as the 70th-largest city in the U.S., actually has things to do. And, yes, more things to do than Cedar Rapids, Coralville, North Liberty and Iowa City combined. Plus it's just 45 minutes to the country's 40th-largest city.

TL;DR They're intrigued by us, but none of the five commentators have us higher than 11th, and the consensus is 12th, just above Penn State and Minnesota.

How does Verge compare with Glynn Watson his senior year?
