The Fran fade
- Thread starter CyTwins
- Start date
It depends. Does their football coach prefer to produce country music or coach football?
There was a small shot of him getting drafted but he wanted to have a guarantee that he wouldn't have to go to the G league and they couldn't give him that. That's just what I heard. I do agree with you though that he wanted to play in March Madness. I think if the year ends in a normal way he would've left.
Yes but Brown is top 100 by 247, so that is not a lie. I have Shaver mixed up with the other center, Tarris Reed.
Iowa has made it to Friday of the conference tournament with Fran as coach in 2012, 2013 and 2019. If Iowa secures a double bye this year that gets them to Friday. You did not ask if he has ever won more than one game in the conference tournament.
Good thing Iowa has a coach that can take a 3 star center out of high school and help him develop into a NPOY.
Two of those three years you listed didn't have Maryland or Rutgers in the conference and the tourney started on Thursday. It starts on Wednesday now.
It's not all apples to apples.
I’m not saying Iowa is historically a better program than Indiana lol I’m not stupid. The past 4-5 years Iowa basketball has been quite a bit better than Indiana basketball, it’s just true.
I mean Iowa State just won the Regular Season Conference Championship and a NY6 bowl. Comparing that to a coach who has never accomplished anything and a program who hasn't been to the Sweet 16 this century is dumb
I can see that side of it. He phrased the question as it being the farthest Iowa has ever advanced though. I was looking at it as Iowa has made the quarterfinals 3 times under Fran which is where earning the double bye would get them.
So to simplify what you said, TCU hasn’t been very good lately and Iowa State has been. Historically it’s TCU>ISU and it’s not close. Same thing applies with Iowa and Indiana. Thanks
How about we all just wait and see what happens next week and during the NCAA tournament. If Iowa lays eggs in both tournaments, the conversation on every thing we've been talking about changes.
I can guarantee you that if Iowa loses in the 1st or 2nd round, the tone around here from Iowa fans will drastically change.

I don't think he will make it in the pros. I give Luka most of the credit. He has a tireless work ethic. He deserves most of the praise.
Yeah they've had a few "meh" seasons, but have also had two 11 win and one 12 win season since 2014.
