Except for the NCAA tourney results, how exciting.
This. It doesn’t feel as good as 87-89.
LolDid the way 87 ended feel worse or better than how 20, 21 or 22 ended?
did the 87, 88 or 89 teams win any championships?
Iowa made the Elite 8 in 87 and Sweet 16 in 88. Obviously you don't want to lose, but those teams came to play in the tournament.Did the way 87 ended feel worse or better than how 20, 21 or 22 ended?

Nowhere in the tweet was losses mentioned but of course everyone can count on you to bring that up. But if you want to play that game at least get it right. 95-98 also had 30 losses. I understand math can be hard when all you see are negatives.30 losses in 3 years, woohoo! Just tells you how much of a shit fungus this program has been if 30 losses is the best in 30 years.
Fourth most over a 3 year run but the other three all include the 86/87 season.That's 33 years for those bad at math.

I love your sunny outlook on the Hawks Roy. Thanks for bringing a little joy to these boards.30 losses in 3 years, woohoo! Just tells you how much of a shit fungus this program has been if 30 losses is the best in 30 years.
Iowa basketball brings that “sunny” outlook, I just report the facts. And, the fact is 30 losses in 3 years is garbage.I love your sunny outlook on the Hawks Roy. Thanks for bringing a little joy to these boards.
Then 40 in 3 years must be fiery garbage. Hurry and tell North Carolina fans how bad they are.Iowa basketball brings that “sunny” outlook, I just report the facts. And, the fact is 30 losses in 3 years is garbage.
What a weird statistic to get caught up on. College basketball plays roughly 30 games a year. 20-10 is consistently like a 5 or 6 seed at worst for Power 6 teams. Here's just a quick look at the past 3 years of some of the top teams in the country: Purdue 33 Ls, Michigan 32 Ls, Kentucky 30 Ls, North Carolina 40 Ls, UCLA 30 Ls just to name a few. Sure there are some exceptions--Kansas, Baylor, Duke, Villanova. But that number is probably around 10 total teams in P6.Iowa basketball brings that “sunny” outlook, I just report the facts.

The big ten was at another level those years.Did they win the B1G title?
Come on now. Please don't try to compare the 1987 season to anything this program has done since then. That's a fool's errand.
The 1987 loss to UNLV was heartbreaking as any long time fan can tell you, but it is hardly anything to be ashamed of. That was a great tournament run and I have no regrets as a fan, other than not winning of course. Iowa lost by 3 points in the regional final to the #1 team in the country.
I'll take the 1987 Tournament again and again over anything we've seen since. No Iowa team has come close to sniffing that.
Tournament title, which didn't exist in the 80's. Big difference between a tournament title and regular season.Did they win the B1G title?
You just can’t resist to shit on the program.30 losses in 3 years, woohoo! Just tells you how much of a shit fungus this program has been if 30 losses is the best in 30 years.
Poor Roy. Still haunted by childhood memories...30 losses in 3 years, woohoo! Just tells you how much of a shit fungus this program has been if 30 losses is the best in 30 years.

Thanks for not answering my question.Tournament title, which didn't exist in the 80's. Big difference between a tournament title and regular season.

I think two would be appropriate, for a Big Ten Tournament Championship and a Consensus 1st Team All American.Awesome! I assume a banner is in order?
Don't confuse Roy with any facts. He knows a "shit storm" when he sees it. The real question is why he follows a team that angers him so. Must be a bit of a masochist or maybe he's just a troll.What a weird statistic to get caught up on.

87 was much worse. That close to the final 4 and a shot at a national title. That team may have had the most talent ever on a Iowa basketball team, I believe 7 on that team teased the NBA. They did not have a big ten tournament then, and I believe the big was a better conference th
The past 3 years have been fun, but those teams don’t compare to the 87 team and has not 20-22 has not even come close to a elite eight run.
I appreciate the past 3 years. My college days at Iowa included lute Olsons last years. So yea, old farts like me think Iowa can do better and get frustrated with the fans who settle.Yeah, 87 has been haunting Iowa fans for 35 years now.
My only point is that all 5 seasons (87-89, 21-22) ended with a disappointing loss. In 20, that team never got a chance to play in the postseason, of course.
I just wish people could appreciate the last 3 years. Instead, there are too many replies with "but, but, but...."
Fair comments. One question, do you believe Iowa fans support the program as well as they used to? Also, did the building of the new Carver assist Lute with recruiting?I appreciate the past 3 years.

the BIG was a better conference then, I believe over a 10 year period, 75-85ish, the big sent 6 different teams to the final 4. It bothers me that the big landed 0 recruits off this years McDonald’s all American team. I digress.
They weren't even close. Outside of the twins no one on this roster plays on those teams.Did the way 87 ended feel worse or better than how 20, 21 or 22 ended?
