Who will have a better record next year, ISU MBB or Iowa MBB?
- Thread starter clonedude
- Start date
And I think that’s pretty darn accurate. No way Connor will come off the bench as a 5th year SR. No way Patrick isn’t starting in year 3 of the team. Keegan might be the best player so he’s for sure starting. CJF is up in the air of even coming back / Fran loves Tony P more than CJ, and Iowa doesn’t know what they’re going to do at the 5 yet.
Seeing Connor and Patrick both starting would be a true joy
There's not a single player on there that you would have to defend on the perimeter lol
yep i'd take a fred's first year 16-16
Nunge, Murray and Connor all shot under 30% and Patrick was right at 30%. Perkins made one 3 all year. Yikes
I would assume Iowa will have the better record, but it all depends on transfers for Iowa State.
The big question for Iowa is whether their defense can get better. They won't be able to score like they did this year, so their defense must get better. I don't know if it will.
I will assume no injuries. Nunge is really good, as is Keegan Murray. Patrick McCaffery is skilled to.
I would assume their lineup is this:
Connor
CJ
Keegan
Patrick
Jack
Toussaint and Perkins off the bench.
They need help in the post, although Ogundele is a big body and would probably help out.

Nunge is not "really good" lol. He's a stretch 4 who can't shoot
Tony will start next year. Ogundele would have to make incredible leaps to be good enough to play significant minutes next year, which is why they’re going after a GT post. Nunge will be coming off of his second significant knee injury and won’t be able to move.
Yeah and I really like Keegan, but we’ll have to see what happens when the defense focuses on him. Patrick is okay. Either way that defense is going to be worse next year.
and we all know what that looks like from our last 2 years. oufta.
Hard to really say until we know who will be on the ISU roster next year.
I would bet ISU will schedule very weak like Hoiberg's first season. Don't be surprised to see ISU have one of the weakest Non Cons outside of the Iowa Game and conference challenges.
With ISU sucking so much last year the conference challenges will most likely be against the worst SEC and Big east teams.
With Iowa being a home game and I'm going to speak it into existence, Hunter joining the team. If we add a decent transfer and freshman who can contribute I don't think that game is out of realm of possibility of winning.
Lets say with those 3 games we are looking at going 2-1 or 1-2.
Going into conference play that means we could be 15-2 or 16-1. my goal is to go .500 at home conference games so 5 conference wins brings us to 20-15 or 21-14.

I think it has to be Iowa, unless Weiscamp leaves too, and then it might be close. Really hard to say when our roster turnover and replacement plan has barely started.
