Iowa Hawkeyes and Chicago Cubs fan. My thoughts are my own.

Something about the Knicks in the Finals and MSG rocking. Can’t wait to hear the organ playing and the fans chanting, Defense.

[Chad Helle @HelleChad]

Great idea by Iowa. I just hope when they paint it, they get the right school colors. #purple #thatsfunny #navyandwhite

The University of Iowa Athletics Department has purchased the official court used in the NCAA Houston Regional Elite Eight.

The new playing surface comes as the current Carver-Hawkeye Arena court -- last replaced in 2016 -- had reached a typical point in its lifecycle for replacement.

@rdubhick Are you from Iowa? A handful of schools didn’t have a varsity girls basketball team this winter. And there are schools already cancelling football or having a JV team only for the fall of 2026

@Avonwebey If states keep cutting funding and the above keeps happening, be here before we know it

Hearing all these HS coaches getting forced out by parents makes me wonder how long before HS sports are intramural’s? Everyone will just play travel sports.

Because it takes what it takes!

Once again, what is Kenny Smith talking about? My gosh. Check his coffee cup on the set.

[Chad Helle @HelleChad]

@rcollison12 Kenny Smith thought he was Kenny Rogers and playing The Gambler.

What is Kenny Smith talking about?

Unbelievable read. Every Hawkeye fan should read this.

Ben McCollum is at his best in the final 24 hours before tip-off, when he crams for the test and usually finds the answers.

@brian_niesen 0-1 vs High Point

Is this a dream. @IowaHoops

What an awesome experience today for kids at South Central Calhoun to listen and interact with a Division 1 Athletic Director. Thanks to @NathanC_AD for taking the time.

[Chad Helle @HelleChad]

Beth Goetz made the right decision

First Half Summary:
Good first half by Iowa. Iowa doing Iowa things
Refs did not have a good first half
Stirtz needs a new jersey at half. Other one is now a 3X
Keep picking and choosing our spots

[Chad Helle @HelleChad]

@jvandebrake Oh no, trust me, we had them inflated to the right pressure every game.

[Chad Helle @HelleChad]

I have someone that knows exactly how much air goes in the balls. Let me know if you need help.

The wildest thing about the NCAA Tournament:

Over-inflated basketballs

They’re back again.

@karlravechespn love the WAWD during the Tenn/Vandy game.

[Chad Helle @HelleChad]

Typical guy behind the mic that knows sports and players. Zero clue.

"I gotta address (Bennett) Stirtz... you've seen great player after great player come through here. That's not a great player,"

While reacting to Nebraska basketball's win over Iowa on Sunday, @steven_sipple aired out his controversial opinion on Iowa star, Bennett Stirtz...
