Fixed the first sentence for you.

Are the last 2 really statue worthy? Again, just seems like really low expectations for a basketball school.

7 wins is the expectation at your football school though. Kirk will get a statue for that.

 

[CyTwins]

No, they did not make up the term "Hilton Magic".

They said Hilton Magic is real though

 

[YeahBuddy]

I'm sure it stinks Iowa could never duplicate our environment, even when ranked or playing ranked opponents.

Carver is ranked 18 spots ahead of Hilton on the list of toughest places to play in college basketball.

KF will also be in the College of Football Hall of Fame....almost the same thing.

It bothers you because you feel something we have is cheesy and made up? It almost seems like you're jealous.

If such numbers existed, I'd be curious the sos comparison between Orr's home schedule vs Fran's home schedule.



The team feeds off the crowd so it's not really selling the home team short. I'm sure it stinks Iowa could never duplicate our environment, even when ranked or playing ranked opponents.

Yeah did Orr get to play 7 or so no name teams every non conference?

Your words.

6 out of first 7 NCAA bids. Not hard to understand.

Well the stats say otherwise.

Announcers calling Iowa games always say that CHA is one of the toughest places to play in the country. I guess you must agree with that as well.

Hold onto that with all of your might. Nobody is afraid to go into Carver.

Not my words. ISU fans on this site make that claim.

Like most of the Big 10, folks are still living in the 80s and 90s.

 

[CyArob]

How does Iowa only have 1 conference win with that easy schedule?

 

[TheJackWePack5]

Crazy that Orr had 20 top 25 victories at home.

Does Fran have 10 total? 5?

 

[JP4CY]

He probably will. Fry is in the HoF and he has one of the worst all time winning % out of all the coaches in it.

 

[cycloneG]

88th best home court advantage is "Magic"? Would hate to see how bad it would be without that voodoo.

88th since Hilton was built which was ten years before Orr. If you remove those years from the overall record, Hilton is in the top 50.

Have ya seen who it came against? And they were down half their damn team in the OT.

Hell, B1G channel is probably showing Nebraska football clips from the 90's.

FIFY

Hilton is ahead of Carver since Orr arrived. He brought the "Magic".

Link? Never heard that

Link? Never heard that

You, of all people, do not need a link because you watch every Iowa game.

They may even say it tonight, I am sure you will be tuned in.
