I've been pretty critical of Fran and still am not sold on him. But what he was able to do with all the injuries' last year was pretty remarkable to say the least. Not many teams would have been in position for a 5 seed with all that went on in such a tough conference.
Yeah, 5/6 seem to be the most common projections. Pretty remarkable.
NET rankings are pretty much chalk. Iowa was staring down a 7 seed at best, 8 seed at best with a first round BTT loss
I think it did overall. A few games I can remember that having more than 1 serviceable spare guard would have been huge. Penn State and Nebraska in January come to mind.
Seems like Illinois has good reason to hate on Iowa

How can you lose what you've never had? If things go south on you this season there is no guarantee he will ever suit up.
Most here didn't see them getting to 14 wins with Connor at PG. Fantastic job by Fran.
Just saying with the way transfers move around today, it's no guarantee he will suit up for you next year. Plus, who knows what kind of medical issues the young man has. He could decide to transfer some place closer to home. Either way, hope the best for him and hope he's ok.
They had a bye in the first round. So technically, not a fact.
No, just how much your trolling has went downhill the last couple years. Used to be a thing of beauty.
If an 8 seed in year 10 is fantastic there's no wonder why some think he's a good coach
I'm not trolling. The NET basically went chalk the year before. The only way Iowa was going to get better than a 7 seed (and that's generous) is if they won multiple games in the BTT which Fran has never done
