The Fran fade
- Thread starter CyTwins

Yeah I'm not sure I trust San Diego State at all and might pick them to get upset in the second round. I'll have to watch them more to get a better look at them, but because of their competition, it'll be hard to truly evaluate them.
I'm intrigued by this year's NCAA tourney because there are so many good teams and not many great ones. Seeding is going to be quite interesting because there are going to be a lot of good teams with higher seeds than usual.
I agree. I watched SDSU play the hawks but my memory isn't great. Seems like the Hawks jumped on them early but they controlled the 2nd half and the Hawks looked gassed. I don't think they're true 1 seed material but with the way things are this season I think they get a 1 if they win out.
Yep once they got that whistle at home vs Wisconsin I penciled them in the tourney
Everyone should brace for them to be good for awhile. They lose no one this year except Kreiner and if Garza comes back (likely) they also add Bohannon. They'll be scary good next year.
You didn't watch the Wisconsin game though.
Oh they would have to. I mean they'd be undefeated lol. But yeah I did watch that game and although I thought SDSU was good, I don't think they were 1 seed material. Now, they could be playing better basketball than before even if they are playing worse competition.
Illinois got the whistle (or lack thereof) yesterday and Iowa still won.
This might be the year that Mad Fran won't fade. But there's a long month left of the season.
But I'd like to point out that it took him 10 YEARS to get to this point. 10 ******* years. Half this board wants Prohm gone and he's still had better success than Fran.

Iowa shot 17 FT's to Illinois 11. I don't think the referees were biased towards one team or the other, rather they did struggle overall in some areas. Iowa won because they played better down the stretch and if Illinois would've won, it wouldn't have been because of the officials.
I think they're more likely to lose to Purdue at home at the of the season than at Purdue in early February
Playing at Purdue will be harder for Iowa than when Purdue comes to Iowa City. Purdue's crowd usually gets up for big games and although Purdue has struggled at times this year, they have the capability of coming out and beating solid teams.
So you didn't watch the game, but when they got "that whistle" vs Wisconsin you knew Iowa was making the NCAA's. LOL
I just think Iowa will be vulnerable when Purdue comes to town plus Carver isn't intimidating and Painter > Fran
