The whole look, feel, and sound of Iowa basketball is very stale. It is time to brighten up Carver Hawkeye, get the students $5 tickets and give them the first 15 rows all the way around the floor, get some video and music sets to make some noise when the fans don't, and let's recruit big/athletic kids (not just wholesome Iowa boys who play with heart ... muscle is good under the basket too). The look of the UCONN team with their white uniforms is unique and modern. There is nothing to distinquish Iowa basketball today from the teams of 20 years ago. It would also help if people could watch the games on local TV again. The BigTen network is killing the conference's basketball. I only saw 4-5 games this season. During the Davis years I would never miss a game, but it was on local tv without paying and extra amount each month for expanded cable.
I like Lickliter, but his style is boring - people watch basketball to see your team score points. If he does not get the corner turned I would suggest going all out to get Keno Davis and his dad back to the HawkeyeNation ... the full court press and run and gun is sorely missed.
