The Fran fade

Lol
Some of the comments on this tweet are gold



This is great! You know the Fran fade is setting in when tweets like this emerge.

I think those 5 "Top 25 wins" include (Net Rankings a/o 2.10)

#24 Purdue
#28 Rutgers x 2
#52 Minnesota
#54 North Carolina

4/5 are home wins

@ Rutgers win is really nice. Same for @ Maryland. Those are the only two wins that are even remotely impressive for the Fighting Fran Faders

Quad 1a is really the metric to measure elite teams. Iowa is 1-3

For comparison against Iowa's weak resume

Texas Tech - Quad 1: 4-5 and Q1a: 3-3. 1 loss outside Quad 1 to Okie St at home. Currently 14 in Net
West Virginia - Quad 1: 5-5 and Q1a: 2-3. No losses outside Quad 1. Currently 16 in Net
Texas - Quad 1: 3-5 and Q1a: 2-3. No losses outside Quad 1. Currently 20 in Net

All of those team have better wins and no losses worse than Iowa's home loss to Indiana
 
How long before a “suck a fat one “ tweet emerges? Bonus question...who is most likely to send it? My money is on Patty Mac for some reason

Iowa would smoke all 3.

You make a compelling argument I'm not sure we would be seeded above these teams in the tournament if it were today. i think what helps Iowa right now is the margin of victories in some of their better wins. Margin of victory isn't a criteria in seeding but it helps in the net rankings.
Of our quad 1 wins i think 1 was less than 13 points

We'll find out Saturday around 11:30 CST. I'll go on record as Iowa is #15
