The Fran fade

All Connor would say is “that’s a foul? Your’re out of your mind!!”

And Jorbo would run to the locker room ice machine to get some “ammunition.”

Iowa, like us, is a solid basketball team. They, like us, shouldn’t be ranked. It’s all moot because both teams will be in the tournament and similarly seeded. Just frustrating to watch a team be rewarded for beating up on really poor teams.

Who would you have 25th? Do you have a sleeper team before brackets come out?

Fixed it for you.

I’d choose Rutgers right now.

Agree on both points. Come selection Sunday, if seasons end as predicted, I think ISU ends up #7/#8 and Iowa ends up #8/#10. That is ISU going 2-2 and 1-1 (21-12). Iowa going 3-2 and 1-1 (22-11).
Which teams you beat DO matter.

I would take a #10 or #11 seed over a #8 or #9 seed.

Iowa opens as a 7 point favorite over Michigan State tomorrow?! I'm tempted to put a lot on MSU. I think they win outright honestly

Why? You think a 6/7 would be that much easier to beat than an 8/9?

No, I think all of those teams would be pretty similar. But if you win the first round, I would much rather face a #2 or #3 than a #1 seed.

LOL Iowa ranked after one decent win over an overrated team.....smh

Fran deserves Coach of the Year and an extension imo

So you would rather lose to the 2 or 3 rather than the 1? Fran doesn't go second weekend, so you might as well look for the easiest path to the second round loss that you can get.

Yet students don't attend games for some reason. Eickholt is such a ball washer!

I'm sure Barta is already working on an extension and a raise.

Wasn’t he already extended through 2028 last year?

He would throw the NCAA rug he took at him.

 

[mj4cy]

I love that Barta is wetting himself over another Fran extension....gotta love a 12 year coach who can't get past the first round of the NCAA tournament.

Go thru MSU's sched. They've beaten one tourney team, and close to bubble at that (Indiana), in the last month. Last good win was exactly a month ago @ Sconnie.

I get they aren't playing well but you shorten good wins to a month and a lot of teams won't have many. That line stinks. I figured it would be Iowa -2.5 and I was ready to complain about that

Are you saying Haliburton and McCafe no-fat are equal level players??? I think you may be drunk.

No,

Look at your original question to my original post: "How about getting McCafe and McCafe no-fat type players?"

My reply was pretty clear. I have no issue with THIN players and I used Halliburton as an example of a THIN player that played at ISU. Guys like Morris, Garrett & Clyburn were also pretty slender.
