Every league has teams at the top of it- at the end of the season they call them champions. My point is, IA didn’t beat any of those teams this week.
I guess Iowa's collapse will start in March this year...

No, but they beat Michigan the previous week. Its probably the deepest league in the country right now. So, it's kind of silly to pick at winning two close conference games, including a tough road win vs a motivated Indiana team that's capable of beating anyone. (Michigan State, Marquette, Louisville) Northwestern came to play, shot lights out and Iowa still managed to find a way to win.
He was talking about conference opponents, pretty easy to make that connection when looking at the combined record, dunce.
Yes. When it comes to conference play, throw that all out the window. They're a young team that has shown that they can beat anyone (and lose to anyone) but a road win is a road win.
Have to give the squawks credit, it was a heck of a comeback and a hell of a shot to win it. Sliding to his right, readjust and hit a 3. Nice win, sucks, but a nice win. Still hate Iowa.
Not really when it's used to state an illogical position.
Nope, it’s pretty easy to connect the two. Proven because everyone picked up on it besides you.
They’ve shown they can lose to everyone pretty consistently. This is some Leistikow level spin.

Based on his striking a player, yes, not a good look. Based on his record and the resources he has to work with and lack of tradition, it becomes who are they going to get? But, along your point, he has been there quite a few years with not much to show. Northwestern needs to take the Barta philosophy and keep Collins because who will they get that's better? It's about knowing how big your stick is- when Michigan needs to replace Beilein, they have their pick. Iowa's three hires since TD:
-Slick Alford- from a mid-major
-Lickliter- from a mid-major
-Francon- from a mid-major

That "deepest league in the country" will see 2-4 coaches fired in March (Miles and Chambers for sure) and Pitino and Miller will enter next year on the hottest of seats (Pitino will probably leave ahead of the posse this spring).

Alford and Lickliter were both hot commodities at the time. Lickliter may have been NCAA coach of the year prior to being hired at Iowa. We all know how that turned out. Fran has the 2nd most wins in Iowa history.
I don't know how accurate it is, but I read on an Arizona message board that one team outside the top 100 has made the Final Four. I do not see any Dwyane Wade types on their team.
Where does he rank in NCAA wins? What about Sweet 16 appearances? I would guess he ranks number 1 in NIT wins.
