Graham Couch: Iowa Basketball is a mid-major roster
- Thread starter CyTwins
- Start date
So Fran has a team with 3 good players in the top 15 of KenPom and Sagarin and headed in the AP Top 25 come Monday and Prohm has a team with 3 good players at .500 while playing a weaker schedule than Fran?
What does that tell you?
Hopefully, you are being kept in a padded room until then. I can't imagine your psyche if Iowa plays decent after January 31.
You're the one who was bringing up conference numbers to discredit Haliburton don't back track now
This makes me pretty optimistic considering your predictions for Iowa basketball at the start of the season.
You’re the one saying that Halliburton has played better than Garza so far this year.
Mad Fran's son is playing the perfect role for him, be a pest, get the ball into the post and not turn it over. He is not asked to score, which Iowa can afford to have him do, because they are getting scoring from the other 4 spots on the floor.
The same type at ISU this year would be a waste, we need scoring or rebounding from all five kids on the floor. We do not have a strong post game, which allows other teams to fan out on our 3 point shooters, and they are not great shooters to begin with.
Like I said before I hope Garza ends up a 1st team All American, and leaves to give the NBA a try or over to Europe. Whether he can play in the NBA is questionable, but if he thinks he can and leaves, that helps ISU.

To lighten the mood a little. Here is McCaffery’s dunk attempt. It was like watching White Men Can’t Jump as he did it with such devotion that he actually believed he could dunk it there.

Really piss off, Iowa has a good team, but I hate Iowa and always root against them. ISU has a great fan base, we will outdraw you again this year, and we are not good.
Enjoy your moment in the BB sun. I am waiting for the year end choke job that we all know is coming.
If you are this worked up about this season I wouldn't tune in next year if Haliburton leaves ISU and Iowa has everyone back except Kriener and Evelyn.
Not worked up at all, I have said many times Iowa has a good team this year, I am just waiting for the annual collapse. The yearly Charlie Brown moment when I fans start talking about winning the conference since the early 70's, and then it all comes crashing down. Then an early loss in the big 10 tournament, and not getting out of the first weekend in the NCAA's. We both know its going to happen.
