***Big 10 Thread***

Just a couple random Iowa poster's opinions, but I think they nailed it. Couldn't be Villanova is really good.

Wow! My hope is they were just being sarcastic, but in reality they are probably just your typical ignorant Tavern Hawks. They no nothing of other teams and other leagues, other than all Iowa all the time and the Big 10. They live in a bubble.

Wow...thought Michigan had a shot if they got Nova in foul trouble....they did and it didn't matter.

Most dominate final 4 I can remember from a team....

Well an 8+ win football season and a tourney appearance would be up there

Think about how pathetic this statement is.

Didn’t the school record 9 win football season in the early 2000’s happen in the same year as a conference title in basketball?
 
Meanwhile, the publisher of this site thinks 2018-2019 could be the most successful year in he history of Cyclone athletics.
Note the use of the word "could" by the writer. Yes, it could be the most successfully year ever... And yes, Iowa "could" win the national title in basketball, however, the Iowa writers seem to put more emphasis on the words "would" and "should."

Yeah I'm guessing he didn't say most successful ever but I haven't read the article like you did

I don't think that's the case.

Further proof the Big 10 as a whole is at mid-major level and Iowa is low-major of the conference...
(and how many of those wins are vs other fellow Big (little) 10 teams that made it?)

@Fieldof68Freak Want evidence how historically bad the #B1G was this year? Records vs. The NCAA Field. ...
Michigan 6-4
Purdue 5-4
Ohio State 5-5
Penn State 4-6
Illinois 3-6
Michigan State 2-4
Maryland 3-9
Minnesota 2-7
Nebraska 1-6
Northwestern 1-7
Rutgers 1-8
Wisconsin 1-9
Indiana 0-8
Iowa 0-9

Iowa was also blown out by IU, NU, and Rutgers during the year. But they took MI into overtime in the Big 10 tourney, so sweet 16 for sure.
 
I like to be in the loop with how delusional it can get over here.
We are delusional? Gee, didn’t you predict 15-0 non conference and no worse than 13-5 conference record for Iowa this year? According to you and Hawkeye media, Iowa was so deep and talented, other teams had no chance against Iowa.
 
I remember all the prognostication articles after the hawks completed their Euro trash tour last summer. Good times.

I did not predict that.
