Kinda what I'm wondering. He is legit a top 3 player in the country won't deny that....but seems like all the eggs are in his basket.

I'm thinking specifically the 13-14 year where Naz was great but not considered part of the 3 headed monster. He only averaged 7 pts that year.
Hence my first post it may not even be possible. If that's the case, they just need to keep him healthy/rested when possible.
It’s kinda relative. If they double team him and wear him down so he is even partially off his game, how many points do you think he needs to score to keep you in games against the top 3 or so teams in the conference.
I mention top 3 as I’m assuming Iowa wants to win the conference and you can beat the northwesterns all you want but have to take care of business against the top 3s to contend. Not sure who they are or if you have an uneven schedule this year and who you do or don’t miss.
Our one plays are home games against Purdue, Nebraska and PSU and away games against Maryland, Illinois and Michigan.
Not terrible but not close to the break Illinois got in their schedule. They play Iowa, Rutgers, MSU, Michigan, Purdue and Maryland once.
Iowa's biggest obstacle to a great season will never play a minute of ball. He will however embarrass the team, the university, get t'd out of games, and regularly get out coached.
How does it feel to see the second weekend of the tournament under Fran?
Brutal schedule so I doubt a 1 seed is in play.
I am going to guess 2 or 3 seed with a 3 being the most likely option.
I think you are being kind. Fran hasn't shown anything in his career at Iowa to even come close to this. Keep in mind that IA now has 3 viruses in that locker-room plus a Pandemic.
