The Fran fade

good point. I'm sure you'd all hate missing out on your trip to Hilton "South" this year.

Are you making fun of a fan base that historically travels and supports their team?

I think a lot will depend how Iowa does in the B1G tournament in regards to seeding. All it takes is to have one bad game.

I'm going to be a little suprised if conference tournaments happen

They should. It's how teams get auto bids plus it can be done as a bubble.

I don't think that's the weakness imo but i get it. Sometimes you can have too many cooks in the kitchen. I like that there's a clear design to work the ball inside out. If you add another scorer Garza's shots and touches lessen. We have 1 great scorer and 3 good ones in the lineup. We desperately need Touisant to quit making mistakes offensively because he's the 1 guard we have defensively that can keep elite pgs out of the lane. Jordan's been great offensively lately but im worried when we play the best he's going to get shreeded defensively as he did vs Gonzaga and others.

There will be a game when a team can guard Garza, maybe not in the big ten, but there will be a time when Iowa is gonna need someone to step up and create shots. You’re right about defense though.

They can use their league winners in regular season and we know how important the NCAA tournament is this year from a financial standpoint. I think it would be a little bit of a risk to pool all the teams together a week before the tournament. I would of course love to have tthem though

That does probably open up a lot more potential issues with the NCAA tournament right after that. Gonna be interesting on how it all plays out.

Could. Not sure if many teams would be happy with an on the fly adjustment like that. But then again the almighty dollar matters the most, especially this year.
I think having one March Madness site like they're doing makes a lot of sense.

Iowa is currently at .857 win %. Do you think they finish higher or lower than that? I put the over/under at .750
This is after the entire season is over, not regular season. I have them just below somewhere in .710 to .745.
Somewhere around 22-9, 23-8

I think over .750 when all done.
12-2 now
8-3 rest of the reg season
Say they go 6-2 B1G and NCAA combined.
26-7

probably lower than .857. Clones are at .222. I put the over/under on them at about .15

Over/under @TRYHARDER education level is 8th grade.

Iowa reminds me of the 2014 Creighton team that had Doug McDermott as a senior. They were a 3 seed and lost by 30 in the second round. I think Iowa might be able to do slightly better than that in the tourney, but who knows.

Good question ill say just over 22-7

I see the similarities but believe we're better. They got an absolute nightmare draw in baylor. I said that at time too. Obviously we won't play them first round but a long lengthy team like that is worst case scenario for Iowa too

That Creighton team's problem was they had to play Baylor.

Yep. That Baylor team had some dogs.

I mean, does anyone that follows Iowa or ISU remotely think that ISU fans don't show up well for the B12 tourney? Even in bad years there's been good showings.

That’s tough. Are we saying completed 8th or just attended some 8th grade.
