The Fran fade

On the other hand, it's exactly the kind of thing we can continue to make fun of Iowa fans for.

They likely are still surprised Oregon's guards were able to do that in March.
Nah this guy’s crazy lol. All my Iowa friends and two of my Iowa sources say they expect to get around 10th next year.
 
Yes lol

Iowa will compete for an NCAA Tournament appearance. Iowa State will probably compete for 9th place in the Big XII.

I don't know where ISU will finish.....I'm thinking they will finish with a better record than Iowa. The only way Iowa competes for a bid in the dance is if the Big Turd is way down. I think you are already forgetting the value of Garza. I know getting boat raced in the last game tends to cloud memories....but he didn't get all his awards because people felt sorry for him. Garza made EVERYONE around him better. Next year you will see just how much. And I'm not even speaking of CF or JW being gone. That's three strikes.............Iowa's out.


Edit: I also think if JW joins the other two on the get out of Iowa City train.....you underestimate how much chemistry meant to that group last year having all played together for years.

"Less than two weeks later, WIBW reported a Douglas County District Court document stated De Sousa had been charged with aggravated battery relating to a Jan. 1, 2020 incident where he “unlawfully, feloniously and recklessly caused great bodily harm or disfigurement to another person.”

The Kansas City Star reported a man lost vision in his left eye after he was allegedly hit in the face by the former Kansas basketball player outside a bar in Lawrence early New Year’s Day 2020. They said the information was gathered from an affidavit filed in Douglas Co. District Court."


Holy **** how is this kid still eligible. Shouldn't he be in jail?

Bobo's bodyguard?

Has anyone heard anything on Joe W? If he comes back that’s a game changer for Iowa.


Agree. He is the difference between competing for a spot in the dance.......and a middle of the pack Big Turd team whose coach thinks every official is a cheating.................!

10th place in the Big Ten is still competing for an NCAA Tournament appearance. The Big Ten usually gets anywhere from 7-9 teams in. I would expect Iowa’s record to be a few games over .500.
10th place in the Big 10 this past year went 12-15. Two years ago 10th did well. Three years ago 10th went 14-18.

Fact of the matter is Iowa’s going to have to do very well in the Big 10 tournament to surpass .500 and based on the entire history of Fran at Iowa. It ain’t happening. He can’t win anything with the best player in CBB, he ain’t doing it with a bunch of bums.
 
How so? Is he one to take over games by creating his own shot and distributing to others that can do similar?
He makes Iowa a better team but he doesn’t move the trajectory out of the near bottom of the Big 10. It’s all moot though. He’s not coming back.

Keegan Murray is viewed by many scouts as a potential first round draft pick. Better tell them not to waste their time because Statefan10 thinks he’s a bum.

Right..makes them better but is it 1 or 2 wins difference or like 10?

From what I saw, I can't imagine Iowa winning many more than 10-12 games last year without Garza. Maybe less.

Lol he’s not a bum. He’s also not Luka Garza and I truly don’t think you understand the importance he was to your basketball team.

I’m gonna guess they’re a couple games below .500. I think we’re right at .500 or a couple games above.

I was told by an Iowa fan friend a few years ago that Bobo was also a good NBA prospect--sharp shooter off the bench.

I'll guess Murray has a nice season, doesn't go pro, returns, doesn't get drafted, and then Iowa fans say he should have gone in '22. Just like they did with Reggie Evans because **** doesn't change with that fan base.

Murray might not get drafted if he doesn’t get drafted this year. He’s old.
