The Fran fade

I have big money on Ohio State to win tonight. I don't think it will even be close. The disappearing act for most of their starters is in full effect and the bench can't compete against a team with a pulse.
This last stretch for Iowa is almost make or break for them honestly. It could make them end up a 2 seed, or if they tank they could fall all the way back to a 7 seed.
 
Lots of teams who send players to the NBA are struggling this year. Just an odd year. But we know Iowa State will be back to being a top tier program soon enough. Meanwhile out East, this year will buy a horrible coach at least 5 more years of meltdowns and below average basketball.

What makes you think this about ISU basketball?

Looking at each teams roster for how it will look next year, Iowa is still going to be much better.

Iowa is Garza and everyone else. Once he's gone, they will fall right back into being a bubble team. After they end up a 7 or 8 seed and losing in the first round, you will see that I'm write.

As far as ISU, we put guys in the NBA. We have the best fans, and Hilton is easily a top 10 venue. It's time for a new coach, and I'm very confident we will find a good one.

Advanced stats don't really love Ohio State which is why Iowa is 5.5 point favorites
Iowa is way taller in the post. Garza and Nunge should combine for close to 50. I know that sounds like in trying to create some bait, but I'm not. Seth Towns hasnt lived up to what I thought he'd be too.

Towns sucks surprisingly
 
FIFY. Your own fans have bet against ISU and don't even watch the games.
I don't bet against ISU, but I know both hok and clone fans that bet against their own teams. Whatever, I don't care. I watch the games. Nice try. It will be fun watching the idiot hok fan base destroying their team on social media when they fall apart this month after talking about National Championships the last 2 months lol.
 
Not sure how that’s funny. I don’t bet but There would be collection of games when I would bet on toe to win or cover. Doesn’t mean I don’t think they are a disgusting group of humans as well as the “fans” that follow them.

Betting against your own team doesn't make you a bad fan lol. If I see Iowa State as a 3 point underdog to OU on Saturday, why the hell wouldn't I throw some money on the Sooners? It's basic common sense. Also, the team having to take two weeks off threw off the entire rhythm and schedule of the season. Yes, we SUCK, but when you don't play 5 straight games due to COVID while you're also 2-9, fan engagement will be at an all time low.

I'm old enough to remember a lot of Iowa fans actively rooting for UNI for bball and Iowa for football, claiming UNI as their team.
