    Substate matchups

    This was actually proposed by the Iowa Basketball Coaches Association and IBCA Executive Board to the IHSAA. Todd Tharp and the Association have been extremely inviting and doing all they can to listen to basketball coaches during this craziness (and actually past few years). This was part of...

    North Linn

    Several factors converging (location to CR area, especially as a small school, coaches' kids and their classes coming through right now, etc.), but honestly, they work their butts off, at everything basically, all year. Some coaches want "multi-sport" athletes, but they really mean "only play my...

    1A and 2A Brackets

    Well, NL does have 3 transfers in their top 6 rotation (Kurt brothers from Independence and Vanourney is a Linn-Mar kid). But, what they did last night to an excellent Treynor team was remarkable. I don't think Treynor was expecting a kid that had made 5 threes all year to go 4-4 or for Miller...

    Shot Clock...

    Dowling tried to hold for final minute or so of 4th, and CF did something radical: they amped up their defense and guarded; they trapped, and lo and behold, they forced a turnover to win the game. Such a voodoo counter-strategy to holding, without the defensive aid of a shot clock.

    2A State Tournament

    This Treynor-PC game has been the highest level game today. Treynor looks excellent as usual.

    1A State Tournament

    Springville Shot Selection these past two minutes has been less than desirable. Ouch.

    1A and 2A Brackets

    Yeah, at the end of the day, our old-fart opinions are irrelevant (though the Cascade-NL issue was simply NL dropped out of the game for Midland, maybe as a favor to a conference team. Cascade wanted a girl-boy double header as their girls still played). But, the Tri-Rivers and RVC schedules...

    1A and 2A Brackets

    NL and Cascade had a 2-year deal starting in 2018-2019 (their girls have played for several years). That game got snowed out and was beyond anyone's control. The return game was scheduled to be this year and NL backed out of it for whatever reason and added Midland. Monticello, like Cascade...

    1A and 2A Brackets

    North Linn was routinely 2A for several years up until the past 8-9 years I believe. They will probably always fluctuate. North Linn dropped Cascade in order to pick up Midland, a relatively weak 1A team on the other side of their league. Monticello dropped that same Midland in order to pick up...

    1A and 2A Brackets

    NL has earned every success they have attained. Those kids clearly worked extremely hard the past several years, and by all accounts, are "good" kids. But, they DO play a 1A schedule, which is why people tend to take their stats with a grain of salt and they're probably over-seeded as a 3 even...

    I'll take: Treynor West Sioux Woodward Granger in an "upset" Camanche (I could flip this ten times between now and Tuesday though)

    2A Sat. Night Feb. 29 Thread- Scores and Comments

    I’d say Treynor, Camanche, Monticello have best resumes and are top 3 in some order.

    2A Sat. Night Feb. 29 Thread- Scores and Comments

    I think Monticello and Camanche are the top 2, followed by Treynor. This field reminds me of the 2018 field when a 6-seeded Cascade won it.

    Monti-Beckman

    I think Keegan will be most talented kid on the floor, but Monti probably has the next 3 or 4 best guys. They're extremely talented and balanced. I think Monti. by 6-8.
