Do you see another win this season?
- Thread starter Beattheohiostate
- Start date
When you look at that schedule, it is pretty difficult to see how Iowa can carve out even one more win. I would think Iowa would be the underdog in every single game. Facing Purdue on Tuesday could be a major blowout and the official beginning of the end of the Fran era at Iowa.
Don't we get Washington at home? Not that there is much of a home court advantage.
I'm going to say 3 wins

I can see Iowa beating Washington at Carver in a squeaker.
But all the rest? Wouldn't waste a penny on betting the chance Iowa might win any other contests this season.

Currently, that would be a miraculous finish.
They should beat Washington at home.
They could beat Rutgers at the RAC. They could win @ Northwestern. They could win @Nebraska... I don't see them going 4-0 in these games though.
I expect teams like Maryland and Illinois and Michigan State and Oregon to be big trouble for us.
Nothing is a gimme for this Iowa team but washington should be a win.
I think they somehow get 2 others, although which those might be I have no idea.
So max 3, min 1. Then close out a craptacular season with an early exit from the BTT.

I don't know where the wins might come, but they occasionally do shoot the lights out and can win vs teams that are better than our
Hawks. Fran could suddenly make some lineup changes for positive. Lot of things are possible. It does seem dark right now.

The beginning of the end was the Illinois game to end the regular season last year. Complete flop at home with a juiced up crowd with an NCAA tournament bid on the line.

I honestly don't even remember that game.
It really doesn't matter, however many wins the Hawks may pull out from the remaining 10 games it won't be enough to make a difference, Hawks still end up underachieving and not playing in the post season. Fran and his staff needs to go after this season, if nothing else but to show Hawk nation, men's basketball is still important and it's not just OK to be a second rate athletic program that it has become.
If Washington is getting 3 or more I'm taking Washington.
Iowa was down 17-2 and eventually 30-9 in a game that was a big deal with a great crowd.
I guess there's a reason I blocked it from my memory...lol
But tbf, that was an elite eight Illinois team playing a non qualifier. Can't really expect a much different outcome.

Minus another team having a crap night, or our crew playing headless, I'd go with 2 and that feels optimistic.
I think I read that we'll only be favored in 1 or 2 of our remaining games. So, based on my experience as a Hawkeye fan throughout the McCaffery era, I predict we will courageously exceed expectations and have 4 more wins.
That will put us at 17-14 on the season, 8-12 in the conference (before the BTT). Clearly out of the Dance. Probably in the NIT.
This is who we are.

I think they'd need 2 wins to even be on the conference tourney bubble. Only one and likely watching from home.
There will be nights where they get really hot and pull off a win. Right now that's their path to winning, just shoot really well. As has been shown already, it's really hard to sustain that game after game, so I wouldn't expect a lot more wins, but there will be some.
I read that Kenpom currently projects us to finish with 16 wins. Which seems about right.
So 3 more.

As long as 2 of them are Wisconsin and Illinois, I'm good.I'm hoping for 4 wins
I don't know how we get them but then we'd match my 17 wins prediction
I don’t ever see us winning at Illinois again while Fran is the head coach.
I believe he has only beaten Underwood on the road once, and it was during Underwoods first season at Illinois when they were terrible
Nope. All current Iowa coaches are infallible.
When Iowa wins, it's because of immaculate coaching.
When Iowa loses, it's because of the inadequacies of the players.
Perhaps you've forgotten that the football team won 10 games last year. And quite obviously you've forgotten about......
