It. Was. AWESOME.

Head coach Larissa Libby, sophomore Emma Willis and senior Emma Stevenson sat down with KRUI Sports on Tuesday morning to discuss Iowa Women’s Gymnastics.
Earlier last week, I was on KRUI’s radio show “Sports Squawk” (Wednesday’s 1-2pm) and the question was posed “What are you most excited for about the MLB season?” After a brief second, I blurted out, “October.” That’s right.

After the shock in the studio had completely set in, I proclaimed, “I vow not to watch a single minute of baseball this year.” Now, while I realize that I can’t really avoid replays and highlights on TV, I will not sit down to watch TV with the intent … Continued
Since game one of last year’s 76ers versus Bulls playoff matchup, the question on every Chicago sports fans mind is the same. “When is Derrick Rose coming back?” The Windy City Assassin has been noticeably gone from the Bulls lineup for close to 10 months, and now his return may be longer than expected. What we know about Rose’s rehab comes from a series of Adidas videos called “The Return” and what people could squeeze out of Tom Thibodeau.

After Coach Fran McCaffery stated that junior Melsahn Basabe had earned a starting spot on the roster, Basabe was put to use, replacing Anthony Clemmons as a starter. Now that he has started four games, we can examine some of his play and judge the move. Iowa is 2-2 in those games with the two losses coming against a ranked Minnesota team and a double overtime loss in Madison, Wisconsin against the Badgers. He’s averaging 21 minutes now, not far from where he was before. One thing about his stat line’s that has changed though is his FGA. The presence … Continued
With the 2014 FIFA World drawing closer International teams all over the world are preparing and practicing in hopes to Qualify, including the United States Mens National Team (USMNT). However, the chances for the USMNT to qualify are not looking so bright after a sickening 2-1 loss to Honduras last Wednesday which proposes the question is it a lack of experience or a lack of talent that made the USMNT look so horrendous in Honduras. The US is by no means considered a top soccer country in the world on the mens side, but they still are expected by many to … Continued
