Seemingly never ending Iowa MBB thread (still going.....)

[Gunnerclone]

During ISU 5 NCAA teams you have beaten #14, #13, #12, #10, #9, and #6

ISU has beaten 1 of the top 32 seeds in 5 years. That isn't "Elite".

Damn we've won a lot of NCAA games this decade. Enjoying this ride.

I think results speak for themselves, so no denying that their players have had nice seasons.

I think Bohannan and Baer both look more like UNI- type of players, and that's a good thing--play real hard, generally fundamentally sound, etc., but if someone simply gets out on them, not much happening. And this isn't an ISU vs. Iowa thing, to be clear. Part of ISU's problem is with no inside game, there's a general struggle to create. I don't know what Cook was like early in the season but he looked comfortable vs. Wisconsin and he's got nice footwork.

Baer would start at ISU next year if he was on the team, as he is a big time upgrade over Babb.

5 wins in 5 years, you think that is impressive? We fired Tom Davis for those results. He won 4 NCAA games in his last 5 years.

Why is Fran still your coach then? and it's 6

How did that work out for you?

Got us to the #NextLevel just not the direction we were thinking.

I'm just saying for Hawk fan they wanted more, nad ISU fan really thinks 5 wins in 5 NCAA tournaments with 0 conference championship makes them Elite or some National program.

Oh, has the tournament started this year? Did ISU win its first round matchup, I miss that game somehow.

Well, they got more. Glad you guys are content with the Level that your program got to. Happy for you and your fans.

Five wins in five years?? The elite programs would laugh at that.

You listed 6 seeds of the teams we beat.. that's all. The NCAA tournament starts in 8 days.

Oh, and it is 6.

Jury's still out on Babb but imo his ceiling is high. He's *this* close to being very good...the hope is he finds 'it' and it happens.

Nobody said elite. But the run we've had with a very good coach who had both feet out the door and a second year replacement coach is pretty ******* awesome. Obviously we want to keep getting better, but we're not going to run a coach off for the success we've had.

So there is a stream of the boys state basketball tournament online. Is it bad that I can tell who McCaffery's kids are because no one stands at as good on that team? Oh yeah, and IC West is losing to Newton at the end of the 3rd quarter.

Thanks for spelling it out. These tavern hawks have poor math skills.

I like Devontae Lane more than anyone else on that squad and he will probably play football.

I don't blame them for being quiet right now; there's good basketball on. On an unrelated note, the Big Ten is also playing.

Excuse my #FakeMath

Point still stands. 1.2 wins per year in the NCAA isn't Elite.
