The Fran fade

It's not the physicality towards Garza, it's to the other guys. Garza's going to get around 20 or more a night on most occasions because if he doesn't, Iowa's going to have a very tough time winning.
Teams are fine with Garza getting his.

If the others are on, they are tough to beat. If not, they are toast.

I think the kid is a pretty novel in today’s college basketball world, he’s a throwback to a different time. A true post that plays like a post player.

but you’re right. Other coaches are perfectly content to let him score 30 and take the shooters away. Wasn’t it Michigan where he had like 42, and they pretty much trailed by 10 the whole game.

good for him. And Iowa has a guy that can go get them guaranteed points when they need it. Something we haven’t had this year. Makes everything look a lot better when you have that.
 
Sarcasm...the Big Ten might get 9 teams without Purdue
Yeah Indiana will have an opportunity to be the 9th team. Purdue is going to have to win against Rutgers and pick up 2 or 3 wins in the Big 10 Tournament in order to make it, which would be surprising honestly.

Purdue is 23rd on Kenpom today and their SOS is 4. They've got wins over Mich St, Virginia, Iowa X 2, Wisconsin. They are on the outside looking in, but I think you're right...if they can win maybe their next 3 they've got a chance.

KenPom is terrific at showing how good a team actually is, but it doesn't really factor in wins and losses. Minnesota is 32nd in the nation on KenPom with a 13-15 record, while Kentucky is 24-6, is going to win the outright SEC title, but is ranked 30th.

In my opinion, Purdue's going to have to either win against Rutgers and pick up at least one win in the B10 tournament, or they're going to have to win at least two in the B10 tournament if they would end up losing to Rutgers.
 
Not if Purdue plays Iowa in the first round.
First round is 11-14 seeds, now that would be an epic fade.

It's impossible for Iowa to get an 11 seed.. Iowa's first game is likely to be either Rutgers, Purdue, or Indiana. There are different ways for all of those things to happen. Iowa could play Indiana as the 6 seed or the 7 seed.

Oh, I know that, not sure some Iowa fans do.

I just don't want to play Purdue again.

I mean I get it, that was all they had when they were the punching bag of the Big12. You'd think at some point ISU fans would realize they are decent/good now and you don't have to have little brother syndrome and brag on SOS all the time.
I feel like i have to tell you this everyday, but who's on whos rival fan page again? So who has the little brother syndrome....hmmm

How do you go 2-8 on wide open threes? Like how does the coach even let that happen
He was heavily guarded and they were fadeaways from 25ft with I sec on the shot clock..all 8 attempts. The box score should tell you that.
