Illinois-Iowa

[ajk4st8]

This season needs to perfectly end by Nebraska beating Iowa in the BTT.

 

[AuH2O]

This means Iowa should move up to about 3rd in this week's Sagarin.

Probably Top 5 in KenPom too. But, but Fred uses it assess trends so it must be good.

Wow. They're likening this disaster to the Tom Davis years, where rankings, big wins, and tournament trips were quite the norm.

Tom Davis was a good coach. Since he left they've had a bunch of posers.

And classy. He's one of the coaches I respect most, then and now. I really enjoyed watching his teams, even with the problems they had finding the opposing 3 point shooters.

 

[ajk4st8]

At least Alford put together a winning conference record.

Whar McCabe Takedown?

Not that it matters much but some in this thread have their NCAA seeding prospects way too high. They likely came into today in the 8/9 range. Now they are in about the 10/11 seed range. If they lose first round of the Big 10 tournament they are likely out unless there are virtually no bubble busting auto qualifiers and other bubble teams lose. If they win the first it won't move the needle much and they are still likely a 10 seed or so. Win two games and they are back to where they were before today.

Here's the site I look to to follow for NCAA seeding ect. It won't update for todays games until tomorrow morning.

What does Iowa have coming in for recruiting? You take away Marble and Besabe from this team next year and they're not scaring anybody

Two top 275 recruits. One sg and one PF.

To be fair, the only teams that Iowa scares now are sub 150 RPI teams.

They're not scaring anybody with Marble and Besabe, so, yeah.

They made a mess out of UMES.

Apparently Trey Dickerson just commited to them too. Idk who that is.

 

[Cyclonepride]

The committee will take a fresh look at the entirety of the resume, which plays well for us and not so well for Iowa. They're human, so the ranking throughout the year will be in the back of their minds and that may give Iowa a slight edge over a similarly situated team.

Fran is not happy with this thread:

From that GIF, I am also led to believe that he is not happy with his coaching playbook - that thing ends up on the ground. If Fran were wise, he'd toss it in the garbage - his team might be better off.

Hey now, UNLV didn't an offer or interest. So I guess no handler issues??

 

[Rogue52]

I'd love to make fun of the Hawks but apathy has already set in. I watched game at local CR bar. Not a single person really even cared. I think one guy let out a moan after the Illinois dagger.

That Purdue game is looming large right now or it was #1 NIT.

Trey? Does that mean he can make 3-pointers?

Dang Iowa beat me to it. I was hoping to make a little money with this domain...
