The Fran fade
- Thread starter CyTwins
- Start date
Hawks are maybe an 8, probably a 9 seed without a win at Illinois or a run in the conference tourney
KPI, I believe is results driven and less forecasting. Iowa is 36th.. Their best conference win on the road is to Minny (#69, nice..)

Torvick's team sheet rankings have Iowa #35.. Trending bad

Dropped to 35th in the Net..

All of this while having by far the best post I-phone era team Iowa City has seen, including the player of the year leader...

Don't think they will play in the first four round this year.
If they don't win another game then they will be an 8 or 9.
Win one and they are an 7 or 8
Win two and they are a 6 or 7
Win the BTT then they are a 4 or 5
Why are you even brining up RPI? The committee uses NET and that's it. Come on man.
I expect Iowa to get in as a 7 or 8 seed, and the selection committee will give them a couple favorable matchups because Garza will be good for ratings. Not saying Iowa will for sure get to the Sweet 16, but I think the Selection Committee will help them out. They will probably play someone like Arizona State or UCLA in the first round, teams with absolutely no ability to defend Garza in the paint.
Cronin or Hurley vs Fran? I know who I'd take. Cronin wouldn't lose to Fran twice a row
Correct. Minnesota has benefited greatly by the B1G having two extra games. The committee will seed 1-5 in all four regions pretty much chalk off of NET but after that it gets to be a little touch and go. Lil Ricky is definitely on the outside looking in right now.
Nope, they made the tournament. That has already exceeded most fans expectations including mine.
Feb 12th you were a projected 4 seed. Lol how would falling to the 8/9 line not be a fade?
What were they projected at the beginning of the season? And that doesn't even include the injuries they have had.
I agree, the coaches are better than Fran. I just don't know if either team has a good match up for Garza. Then again, Garza has filled it up almost regardless of his opponent this year. Arizona State is very guard oriented and would force Iowa to play small.UCLA has some athleticism and has been red hot lately. Maybe I'm ahead of my skis on this.
