    Baer's Talent

    have to laugh at the so called internet experts and their whining about game planning. A top coach can adjust during a game; guess what Baer kept doing it. game planning is not going to make much difference. A top coach would have noticed Baer and have contingency plans for him; not hard to do...

    Villanova is really really good

    when we were playing our best we would have given them a good game. But realistically that is all. We are about two steps down in the talent ladder. Now starting next year we will be maybe only one and a half to perhaps one step down. Fran has to build on this to really close the gap enough to...

    Embarrassing

    once again showing the difference in the talent level. Nova was playing up to the level of their talent; and just blew us away.

    Embarrassing

    Just like in the Rose Bowl we saw what happens when a team that is clearly more talented runs into a team that is not playing its absolute best. Both of those games are proof that 80% of any college teams success starts with the talent level. For a month we fooled the whole world. Like the...

    Old School coaching no longer effective?

    It just might be that there are few out there anymore that will truly respond to Brands old time style of coaching. And if he cannot get them he is not successful. That is something that really needs a good hard look at by the AD and company. Just maybe Gable's way which is Brand's Way just...

    WE FIRED ZELESKY FOR LESS....

    yeah you establishment morons whine and cry but do nothing. Guess what? You can swallow Trump and the changes that way or we get a French Revolution and those like you are the first to get the real short haircut. Brands deserves one more year. If he cannot show serious progress in closing the...

    WE FIRED ZELESKY FOR LESS....

    5th place this year. Disappointing performances year after year in the NCAA's. Brands deserves one more year to show serious progress. and that means multiple Champions and at LEAST a close 2nd place finish in the Team race. If he cannot produce that after these years here; and cannot show...

    Committee does it again...Duke a 4?!

    The absolute worse thing you can do is have a serious late season collapse - that is always been true. The Committee rewards hot teams in early March and late Feb. That is why tournament champions get such favorable treatment. we failed in the Tournament and collapsed in the last month of the...

    This was never a true top 20 team- True or false

    Take a deep breath and look at the talent level of this team and tell me you thought in early December this was a top 20 team. I never did.

    Is there ANY WAY this team can snap out of it and make an NCAA run?

    One good thing is that this might make Fran willing to take some chances in the first NCAA game if we are not playing well right out of the box. This team is a fluke- several players had career highlights basically as regards how well they played. Several at the very same time. That gave the...

    Never thought I'd miss Alford...

    I have always HATED conference tournaments. Just something for the NCAA to make money off of. People talk about teams that got hot for 4 days and ignore the teams that did it for 4 months. To me regular season and what you do in the NCAA's is what matters. I would trade winning 4 games in...

    Unbelievable! !!! Horrible! !!!!

    moron alert. These were the best players he could get 4 years ago. We will see next season if it really is him. Either in recruiting or coaching.

    When is the last time Iowa hit a game winner?

    that might be the one legitimate criticism of Fran I have read. In every league everywhere in basketball you make sure your best player has the ball in his hands for the last shot. In other words Uthof.

    Perception

    are we over rated? Of course. You look at our talent level and we have to play very well to beat most teams. For a few weeks this season we had a group of players that all at the same time, just about, played the best basketball of their lives. Total fluke. AND when players play their very...

    Are we back?

    they were playing over their heads in January. Do not expect to see that again

    21-9 (12-6)

    count me in as one who would have taken it no questions asked. Now it really is hard to swallow

    well now to the tournament. I hope we win at least two games though right now I am not optimistic. Hopefully by the time NCAA starts we are out of our slump.

    really sad that one of the best seasons in many years ends in a way that is so bittersweet.

    ********Official Iowa @ Michigan Game Thread********

    IF someone had told me we would go 21-9 and 12-6 in the Big Ten back in November I would have been happier then a pig in fresh slop. Now it leaves a bitter taste.
