    My sources tell me Fran will be extended through 2028

    Iowa fan: We play a more exciting brand of offense than you do. Wisconsin fan: Neato. Since the last time Iowa won a regular season Big Ten Championship, we've won 5 of them, and since the last time Iowa went to the sweet sixteen, we've been to 10 of them, plus 4 elite eights and 3 final...

    My sources tell me Fran will be extended through 2028

    I guess we need to start hanging the "We Play More Exciting Offense Than Wisconsin" banner annually.

    My sources tell me Fran will be extended through 2028

    It's not illogical -- if you are never going to win anything anyway, better to do that playing an entertaining brand of basketball .... I guess... It is a false choice though. Would I be happier winning a conference championship playing slow and ugly? You bet your ass I would. Much. I...

    Maybe. If I really knew anything I would be making a living at it. I just enjoy the discussion.

    haha Of course but I'm talking about above-average compared to other guards in the league not JBo and Connor.

    I don't think he's an above average defender. Can he be? Yes, he definitely has the physical tools. I don't dispute that. Will it even matter? Sounds like a stupid question but honestly, I think it depends a lot on the rotation Fran settles into. If we're seeing a lot of Connor and JBo, it...

    I was watching an average defender make a lot of mistakes and never come close to locking down anyone in any game I saw him play ever. What were you watching? Quickness is a necessary but insufficient. We are not automatically going to be a better defensive team and better in transition...

    I really want to hear from Big Eddy. Wisconsin doesn't look to be in great shape but I could be missing something.

    Underwood seems to have worked the portal pretty well with Payne and Plummer. Plus 3 4* recruits that meet needs. Hate to say it but he's getting the job done so far. I think the OA loss will hurt you though. Losing Schutt will hurt.

    Did I miss the JBo KO thread?

    No his parents got lawyers which is even more cringe.

    Did I miss the JBo KO thread?

    Experience has taught me that 100% of people who get knocked TF out in public will refer to the incident as "a sucker punch." lol John Lennon wrote a song about situations like this. The karma wasn't instant but I did hear that Kron signed his shoes and left them at the scene.

    Good post. Not convinced about “definitely“ yet but I like it. I will say this, a lot of D is ‘want to’ (much more so than offense anyway). Pride and effort make a difference. We’ll see.

    Our average over 11 seasons is 98th. Bottom half of the league most years. Fran's best team '13 finished 24th (NIT team). That would be nice and probably even necessary in order to be competitive. I like Perkins and Keegan. Who else on this team is capable of playing above average D? Joe...

    How many seasons out of 11 has Fran had a good defense? I'll look at our kenpom average later but whatever it is, if you think we'll be above it, I just don't see any reason that should be true. Better rebounding? Not seeing it.

    Words... In 2 years Keegan won't be here. Who will be our NPOY 2 years from now? Who will be our second NBA draft pick 2 years from now?
