Adam Woodbury continues his quality play here. I just love his game. M.Paige with a nice run of 8 straight. 2 NBA threes.

Senior center Adam Woodbury is a clinic in the post. Anthony Bennett is dominating inside and outside (2 3s already).

Adam Woodbury is my Mitch McGary. He can kind of do it all. Has a great low post hook. Has surprising quickness.STUD

Adam Woodbury is feasting right now. Unleashing some nasty I didn't know he had and kvetching for and ones from the refs.

Marcus Paige and Adam Woodbury playing well...Paige has it on a string and Wood plays to his strengths inside. 2013 Anton Gill high motor.

Apparently kids from Iowa can hoop...Marcus Paige, Adam Woodbury are both top level talent. Woodbury gains strength he will be special.

Iowans--is that a word?--Marcus Paige and Adam Woodbury have both improved. Both playing quite well. Paige been arguably best on court.

Like 6'11 Adam Woodbury from Iowa on the Grizzlies. Good back to basket game, runs well, & stays in post & gets defensive rebounds.

Adam Woodbury looks like one of those guys who gets used to his body in his senior season and skies up the rankings. Its coming together

Can't quite tell who Adam Woodbury game resembles but he is damn good. Steady player, nice outlet passes

7-0 C Adam Woodbury had a solid performance this morning with 14 points and a handful of boards. The Iowa center works hard. Produces points

Mike Gesell has the Kyle Singler hair, the just-got-out-of-a-pool hair.

Really liking Mike Gesell.

Haven't seen Mike Gesell since last year in Orlando. He has really improved as a point guard, like his game. Tough.

It's Iowa Hawkeye Day on the Big Ten Network!

Get your DVR's set or just plop down on the couch in front of a TV. It's (almost) all Iowa, all day on the Big Ten Network. Here is a screen shot from the BTN's TV programming for 6/15(click to enlarge):

Note: There is a Michigan and Purdue football game in there and some crappy campus programming (nap time!) but Chuck Long is in the best QB's of the 80's so I stretched to include that.

Hawkeye Football | Wayback Machine | 1983 #3 Ohio State at #7 Iowa

My favorite YouTuber TheHawkyeHistorian continues to roll out the footage and continues to make my day. His latest upload, less than 24 hours old, is a classic from 1983.

The '83 Hawkeyes entered the early season match-up with the Buckeyes at 2-0. They would finish the season ranked #14 and at 9-3. The 9-2 regular season record landed Iowa in the Gator bowl where they lost to the Florida Gators.
