I guess Iowa's collapse will start in March this year...

Per Team Rankings Iowa's tournament odds by win total:

20 wins: 2.4%
21 wins: 23.4%
22 wins: 67.1%
23 wins: 92.0%
24 wins: 98.5%

The real joy in all of this is that they went undefeated in the non-conference and had sunshine pumped up their butts for a couple months, but they are still the same middling team they've always been. They have a 59% chance of making the tournament and are projected as a 10 seed per that site, which pleases me.

I'm rooting for them to lose a game or two that they shouldn't and end up in Dayton again. I think they're fan base's heads will explode.

Why are you on the front page? Just stick to the rivals forum. Most of these threads have separate topics going.

20 wins is 2.4%?

That seems high if you've just beat dogs.

You trying to impersonate Rob Howe here on CF? Times are tough on HN and HR i see.
Maybe our mods should impersonate Rob and just ban you, like he does people who say negative thing about Iowa on HN.

Still a lot of season left to say something won't happen 5 months from now.

Not saying LW won’t leave and go pro...I’m saying he won’t get drafted...you all can offer your own opinion..it’s what it is..an opinion. LW doesn’t have measurable or intangibles to get drafted after what has happened this year..If you disagree that’s your opinion. Save this thread and we can all come back to it..

The good news is LW can go to draft and if he doesn’t get drafted he can choose to return if he wants.
 
A lot of this was the way Minny defended Iowa. They played both Cook and Garza straight up man without double teaming and didn't let Iowa beat them from three. I think Iowa may have gotten a little exposed offensively last night. Sure Garza was really good last night but you can only rely on him for short stretches, especially if the other team can push tempo.

Completely agree..way to beat Iowa is to get hand in jobo and weiskamp face and pick them up at 25 feet..neither of them are very good at creating an outside shot...Cook will take enough 10-15 foot jumpers thinking he will still make them..Garza and cook can get theirs but if you don’t let jobo and Jw just shoot open 3’s you can beat Iowa.

I didn't say anything about him getting drafted. I'm saying it's stupid to say something won't happen with so much season left.
 
Leistekow has some really good coaching advice for Fran today!

One thing my coaches always told me when I was sick of getting down and playing man or were getting eaten up on D and I was begging to go zone...”if you can’t play man to man you sure as hell can’t figure out how to play a zone.”

I thoroughly enjoyed listening to Jess Settles on the Monday Rebound Show last night on KXNO. Shocker alert but he still thinks Iowa is a highly talented basketball team...

Kinda funny that CF offers an "in state rivalry" forum, whereas on HR or HN you all just sit in a circle and sing Kumbaya or its a giant circle jerk with Hawk posters taking turns being the pivot man singing the praises of Fran and Kirk.

FWIW- Maybe they should change the basketball forum to a comedy forum. Some of those posts after the MSU meltdown and the getting whacked by a gopher (mole) game are pretty damn funny.
