I agree, right now I would rather focus on how bad Iowa basketball is going to be for years to come than talk about the hok sinking ship of a football program.
Seemingly never ending Iowa MBB thread (still going.....)

I'm just following up on discussion in this thread from today, that I didn't start.
lol, um no. But both conferences are much better than the BIG.
Well they split the challenge this year so it must make it true.
That is fine, I expressed this to another poster as well before you joined today, nothing personal. Just pointing out that this is a basketball thread.
Can't recruit, desperate offensive coaching hires that won't work, and the game is quickly passing by the head coach. They are going to be really bad next year. But we can talk about it in the Iowa football thread. This is for your hopeless basketball team.
By 3 at home, so like I said just about on par or better.
They got some favorable match ups, and honestly we have had 2 or 3 head scratching games this year. Vandy is one that just didn't make sense. You will see in March when the SEC has maybe 1 sweet 16 team and the Big 12 has 4.
I doubt it. They actually have a lot returning next year. Should be another 8-4 type season.
Do you mean South Carolina, the team ranked behind ISU in KenPom?
I don't know, that is a good question.
Iowa State loses 6 seniors, including 4 that are pretty damn good and productive. So, that is a lot to replace. From what I've seen the inside presence is non-existent and kills Iowa State and I don't see that improving much next year with what they have and who they're bringing in. I think Wigginton is a stud and going to be a stud next year, don't know much about the other two though. I think Iowa State will definitely be down next year. I think they are more athletic than Iowa and quicker.
As for Iowa, they return a lot, pretty much everyone outside of Jok. But, it is a lot of average to decent players. No real stars or take over type players. They'll be much bigger inside than Iowa State next year, so that could be the difference in a head-to-head matchup, but playing in Hilton could make up for some or most of that. It'll probably be a coin flip game next year, hell it has been the last 5-6 years outside of one year.
Both teams will probably be on the Tourney bubble next year. Iowa might be a bit better overall just because of how much they return and how little experience Iowa State has coming back. I mean, look at Michigan State this year, they lost a ton, had some very highly ranked freshman come in and a top 5 recruiting class and play in a down Big Ten and are pretty much on the bubble this year. So, it could be a bit of a struggle for Iowa State next year.
Just one man's opinion.
At least say Iowa if you're going with that slam since Vanderbilt is much better than your team
Well they wouldn't be better since you know... they lost.
Just in case you weren't aware a team is administered what is called a "loss" when the team they are playing scores more points then they do. So in this example when Boise State scored 31 "points" through 3 quarters and like 5 seconds they had already accumulated more points then Wazzu's "28" for the entire game.
