This is the dangerous line of thinking for Iowa fans. They do have a nice class of freshman, but they weren't good as a team this year. They lose their best scorer and creators in Jok. Assuming that they are going to be an instant force next season still requires a bit of a leap. Other teams will bring in good players as well. They still treat basketball like it's 1996. Those were better days for them.

It wasn't a joke. It's what it looked like.
Hassell is a complete clown. They think just because as freshman they are in the NIT that they will all improve exponentially and be in the Final 4 in a couple years. It doesnt quite work that way.
Just doing his part so his coach can get home to watch his sons play at state tournament.
NCAA lock for the foreseeable future? That's some Jon Miller level derp.
Can anyone give any conceivable reason for Fran's inability to win games in the tourney? I think thats 4 consecutive years now theyve lost the first game to a lower seed. Fran is 2-8 in the Big 10 tourney now if my memory is good. Thats pathetic.
That's the thing. In college basketball now, every season is a new season with new players. Sure ISU loses a ton, and Iowa brings back a ton, but these days a team like ISU can go out and bring in a quick infusion of talent in the form of graduate transfers or JUCOs.
ISU brings back Jackson, Babb, Young, and Jakolby Long.... plus are bringing in one of the best PG's in the nation in Wigginton, as well as Terrance Lewis, Darius McNeil, and Cameron Lard. Add to that a couple more transfers or JUCOs and you never know what kind of team ISU could be putting out there.
Has he finally given up on them still making the tournament?
Some over on HR haven't given up on their chances yet. Even though on ESPN a few minutes ago they all agreed that Iowa was "Dead".
Threads trending on Hawkeyenation right now.

Hok expert Jon Miller says his turnovers are because of his bad back and legs?

So now they'll throw him under the bus even though Iowa would have about 10 total wins right now without him.
