Graham Couch: Iowa Basketball is a mid-major roster

[JP4CY]

You didnt, I just showed you why he progressed better than Basabe, because he was supposed to

Or, Basabe had poor coaching genius.

So then their is a chance ISU does not make it next year?

Of course there is a chance, the season hasn't even started yet?

Silly.

Thinker, (AKA HawkeyeMashup) over-analyzes everything he writes on here.

You guys are sensitive today. I simply said ISU fans think finishing in the top 4-7 will be a tournament lock. I have had multiple people say ISU should finish there. So I said ISU fans think ISU is a lock for the tournament next year.

I also have pointed out that Locure has not been bad this AAU season and is getting looks from Kansas State and Iowa, also Minnesota has been watching his games. Now that Carton has released a top 6, Expect more teams in the midwest to evaluate Locure and Terry. It is a small crop of PGs this year for the 2019 cycle.

Follow the twitter handle of the beyond ball AAU to get more updates if you do not believe me.

BTW, sorry to the ISU fans that have been objective and have had good dialogue. I am just tired of facts being ignored is all.

I think if ISU is a top 7 team in the Big 12 they will be nearly a lock. I think they will be a top 7 team but I don't think it's a lock. The 7th place team in the Big 12 may not get in but I think the odds are high that it would. Nobody knows. You are arguing to argue and aren't alone in that.

 

[Cydkar]

can you show me something else that is more relevant than the final 4 appearances then?

Relevance is an opinion. This will become a circle-jerk.

Then how did Aaron White, Peter Jok, and Devyn Marble get 1st team all conference when they had lower rankings than Basabe?

 

[Thinker]

I will give it to the big 12 for being the better league the last few years sure, but that does not mean they are or will be in the future. Just like ISU is not a lock for the tournament next year right?

I would be surprised if the Big 12 isn't better than the Big 10 this upcoming year. The Big 12 has better coaches, that's really all we know at this point for sure

I disagree with that. I think each conference can make a case for coaches TBH.

ISU has a decent chance barring a regression by the conference as a whole. If the conference only gets 4 or 5 teams in the tournament, we might have a problem. That doesn't sound like a "lock" to me when most people have the team pegged around the 6-7 slots.

Oh, and "the last few years" is exactly what we've been talking about. That means, as it currently stands, the Big 12 is the better league right now and has been for a little while... Like we all said.

Huh?? You will say they are the better conference the last couple years but won’t say they are the better conference?

Lol what?

Solid coaching.

Where's Woodbury, Olaseni, and Uhl in that list?

 

[YeahBuddy]

Olaseni absolutely developed in Iowa City. He was about as raw as you can get when he arrived on campus as a freshman.

So three players got first team all conference under Franny instead of his sienna flip and that proves he has solid coaching?? Working every possible thread here I see.

Dude, the old worst team now has Jamie Dixon and the second worst just coached his team to the Elite 8.

4 in a row actually earned 1st team all-B1G.

Marble, White, Uthoff and Jok. Uthoff was the only Top 150 player in that group.
