Wow. Exciting times ahead. Jok will obviously he missed next year, but this team is going to provide some fun times over the next few season.
Can't believe we start 4 freshmen
- Thread starter General Tso
- Start date
Yes.
They're still going to take some lumps this season. They'll play like a team full of first year players, and I'm curious if the February Fran Blues shows up again.
But the future should be bright.
Next year, Jok is going to be missed via what type of scorer he is. They'll need a gunner type that can bury the three yet score from anywhere on the court. Moss might fit that role.

I guess this kind of dispels the notion that Fran is loyal to a fault with his veteran players? Maybe just a little.
And, no disrespect bagdropper as I understand where the idea comes from, but Fran has actually won more games in the second half of the Big Ten season than he has in the first.

this is definitely my concern as well, but the tourney committee's picks aren't always 100% objective. I think that there is a "what have you done for me lately?" factor and IF Iowa can get to 11-7 (with a couple more top 25 wins) then that means they finished pretty strong compared to the slow start. A long way to go, but if these things happen I could see the committee understanding that while Omaha was a terrible loss on paper, it was with a team playing 6 Freshman early in the season still finding their way. Fingers crossed at least.
Every game is big. But a win in Evanston would validate the PD win as being more where the level of this team really is. We'll see if they're ready for that.
Correct... got close in Nebraska, time to get over the top in Evanston. Keep upping their game, a little at a time.
True, and the loss to Omaha as well, but its all part of the process, as this team matures. Hopefully as the season goes on they'll take more steps forward then steps back. One things for sure, by tourney time these players will truly not be freshman anymore. They're being forged in the fire now. It good be an interesting BIG tourney for the hawks. Lord knows we're due to have a better showing than the last several years.
