They finished 35 in the final NET. That translates to a 9 seed. Doesn’t mean they would be a 9 seed, but a variation more than two spots is pretty rare. That team wasn’t going anywhere.

He needs to know his lane. It would be like me going after supermodels, no chance in hell they are taking me. Don’t waste any more of your time than a quick ask to get shot down and move on.
Here's how good the Big 12 is; the defending national champions and #2 team in the country has this conference record so far:
KU 69 - 67 OK ST
KU 75 - 72 TTU
KU 76 - 62 WVU
KU 75 - 72 OU
KU 62 - 60 ISU
KSU 83 - 82 KU in OT
Almost every game is a nerve-rattling heart attack experience. Unbelievable parity!
That was during the scrappy, upstart Fran years. The GCU win was with a team with two guys that were top 3 college players in the nation.
Way worse than even Prohm at the transfer portal. He has hit on Uthoff and now Rebraca in his 12 opportunities to Crack the portal. Rebraca would have been a flop too without a covid year to allow him to play til he's 25. He was awful last year in what would have been his only season of eligibility under normal circumstances.
Come to think of it, I can only name one other transfer Fran has landed besides those 2. Bakari Evelyn who was not a P6 caliber player
Just went through their rosters over the years and could only find those two. Obviously if you want to be technical they got Austin Ash and Ogundele back from the portal since they couldn’t get anyone else.
Fran’s biggest issue is he’s way too loyal/stubborn with the recruits he has brought in, where he won’t really try to get help from the portal because he believes the guys that are in his system will be better. Like Iowa has had glaring issues at the PG spot for years but he’s done nothing.
The other thing he does is tries to swing for the fences instead of being a contact hitter. Iowa’s name is constantly “in the mix” of some good transfers but that’s because Fran will go after 2-3, latch on to the very end where the player keeps them in his top 5, then chooses elsewhere. Rinse and repeat.
Minnesota (the entire team) scored 12 points in the first half the other night vs Purdue. 39 points in the game. Imagine having a team like that in the Big 12.
Didn’t we do that last year against OSU? Lol
Ya, and I am pretty sure we had a couple games i the 40's.
No, we never scored only 12 points in one half of a game last year
Careful. That sound a bit like our end to the season last year
Posts like these bother me the most. We can't say they're bad? Ok, well I'll just accuse them of being horrible people. Gross **** with 0 evidence to back it up. Character assassinations every 5 seconds are a bad look.
And yes, I know you're reading this Iowa's 247 board. Be better. You cry about us saying this stuff about Fran and his kids but then go and do this? Yeah.
I agree with that to an extent. There's certainly some exaggeration made from bias here as well on characters.
I don't think we beat around the bush to accuse other programs of intentionally trying to injure other players like it's the Saints bounty gate scandal though like the quote I posted was
