The Fran fade

[nfrine]

Hot Take: Keegan Murray is the best player in the state coming into next season.

Under Fran, the freshman to sophomore leap is usually in the wrong direction.

Feeling more good karma for Iowa coming out of this thread.

Thanks, OP!

Well you can pencil in Iowa to the final four now.

We all know that CyTwins' posts usually backfire.

I can't believe the mods haven't banned Twins from making these posts when all they do is give good karma to Iowa.

Iowa might actually win the conference now. Thanks CyTwins!

Didn't quite bet that Sweet 16 path you predicted

Idk, they sure were close last year. Eventually they will get a path there like Prohm had in 2016.

Jon Miller on KXNO going full high school graduation speech. It's about the journey, not the destination. The dash between the two dates is more important. Absolutely comical.

Funny how King Ball Licker John Sears on sports tonight did Iowa highlights(a few baskets) but nothing on the dunks Oregon had. Had Fran just blah blah blah about what life will be like post Garza and JBo.

Congrats to the under the radar Iowa women! No one expected them in the Sweet 16 unlike the high expectations of the men’s team.

He’s been working the hyper mature schtick for a while now.

I never said they'd be a sweet 16 team, but they had a better year than I want them to.

You didn't. That was @awd4cy. You didn't like I created the thread and nailed it though. I still like you Curt it's all good

And Murray will be 21 this summer

I like how you act as if once players hit 20-21 years old they can’t get better, you say the same about Patrick. So those NBA guys don’t enter their primes at 25-26 years old and peak once they get into the league? Like where’s the logic here.

I said they were close in 2019 and could get a good path pretty easily. Guess that’s closer than your prediction thinking Iowa state was a bubble team and that Javon Johnson and every transfer we get is amazing.

I mean if you don't think age plays a factor I don't know what to tell ya

Man Andy Fales was fighting back the tears watching Garza walk of the court, could he be a bigger Hawk fan

Murph and Andy was a parade of excuses today. I am so sick of the “bad matchup “ narrative. You’re either good or you’re not. Impose your will or take your beating.

This isn't a hard concept to figure out

Here was Texas Tech’s path to the NC game before playing UVA:

N Kentucky
Buffalo (with Oats still there)
Michigan
Gonzaga
Michigan State

Seems they weren’t fazed by their path and took care of business

 

[Acylum]

Yeah, what has Hunter proven yet? Keegan was all big 10 Freshman team, and can play almost every position on the floor.

I think we found out what all b1g is worth.

 

[Acylum]

1. No. It was Sweet 16 or bust.
2. 16-15

They can’t make it out of the 2nd round but should be 15-16? Seems legit.

Sweet 16 or bust? A lot of Hawkeye fans were calling for a final four appearance.

Right? That's why DeAndre Kane was drafted ahead of Marcus Smart at 24 years old. Oh, wait.

Was 2014-15 ISU deserving of a final ranking in your opinion?
