Stephen Bardo said to hold on regarding the Final 4 talk but he thought Iowa could definitely make the Sweet 16.
Hell, Loyola Chicago has made a recent Final 4. Why not Iowa?
Love this team!
Go Hawks!!!
EDIT:
Mike Hall in a later segment asked Andy Katz what gave Andy the confidence that Iowa could make the Final 4.
Andy's check list:
* You need a star. Keegan can carry them
* Iowa makes 3's
* Iowa's offensive efficiency is off the charts
* Iowa's defense is so much better
* Fran is really confident in this group. Bardo starting shaking his head yes in agreement. Fran is not yelling that much at the team right now because he is liking what he is seeing.
* The NCAA Tournament is all about match ups. Andy is not sure there is a team out there that is a bad match up for IOWA; this Iowa team can fly up and down the court.
Bardo, on why he thinks Iowa can make the Sweet 16:
* JBo is looking healthy
* Iowa hits the offensive glass
* Iowa can win a # of different ways
* Perkins gets after you & is gaining confidence
* Iowa has so much depth. Sandfort is now coming off the bench and producing
