And while bringing in Karvala for an OV this late probably doesn't bode well for landing AT, Karvala isn't like we'd be shopping at Dollar General. He's #47 on 247, #30 on ESPN and #59 on On3.

No you did not. We did watch him more than once during AAU season and then nothing. 247 On3 https://www.hudl.com/profile/18787117/Vaughn-Karvala https://247sports.com/college/basketball/recruiting/article/top-50-small-forward-vaughn-karvala-scheduled-two-visits-before-making-college-decision-255684190/ https://www.zagsblog.com/2025/06/04/fast-rising-prospect-vaughn-karvala-breaks-down-recruitment/ Vaughn Karvala '26 - Team Herro Date Gms Pts FGM FGA 3PM 3PA FTM FTA Reb Ast TO Stl Blk 4/25 L 19 7 17 0 1 5 6 9 0 2 1 0 4/26 W 17 6 10 5 7 0 0 6 0 0 0 2 4/27 W 9 4 10 0 4 1 3 4 0 4 0 1 5/16 W 14 5 15 4 12 0 0 8 2 3 2 2 5/17 W 14 5 8 1 3 3 5 3 0 1 1 1 5/17 W 12 4 11 2 9 2 2 3 3 1 0 1 5/18 L 18 6 10 4 7 2 4 6 0 1 2 2 5/23 W 16 6 14 4 9 0 0 3 1 3 0 2 5/24 L 14 5 14 3 11 1 1 1 0 3 1 1 5/26 W 24 7 14 4 10 6 6 4 1 1 1 1 7/10 L 5 2 11 0 7 1 2 3 1 6 0 1 7/11 L 10 2 7 1 4 5 8 3 0 2 2 0 7/12 L 28 9 20 5 12 5 8 1 1 3 2 1 7/13 W 16 4 10 2 5 6 7 7 2 3 0 3 7/14 L 18 4 14 2 10 8 9 4 2 3 1 4 7/15 W 14 5 10 2 5 2 2 4 0 1 0 1 7/15 L 0 0 7 0 3 0 0 1 1 2 1 2 Count/Avg 18 14.0 39% 33% 74% 4.1 0.8 2.3 0.8 1.6

Good news today - Curt Cignetti on All-American cornerback D'Angelo Ponds: "I expect Ponds to be fine and play." Adds that they found out late in the week that Ponds wouldn't be available for Iowa. Says Ponds' absence led to Indiana playing a bit more zone than they typically would.

Don't think he planned his announcement quite this way.

Hate to do it. Quackers 21 Hoosiers 20

Great weekend on the road for the women. Beat ranked #17 USC and last night beat #24 UCLA. Women now 4-0 in B1G play.

Iowa United participating in Border League play in Vegas. Andershock reports Drew Adams is there to watch. Iowa United wins 63-61. Arafan Diane 18 points and five rebounds.

Petersburg with a 59-53 win over Hoop Nation at Border League. Only stat I've seen for Allmond is 14 pts.

After women's soccer, the competition's first event, we're tied. Next event is volleyball on the 16th which will be played in Indianapolis.

Final stats for last night. 28p on 7-18 FG; 1-1 on 3s; 13-15 FT 20r / 2a / 2s / 8t Andershock reported Wasatch sent a lot of double teams at him which likely accounts for the number of turnovers.
