At least you can tell he's been watching the Hawks, unlike the yahoo bozo in the other thread:
Iowa [18-13 (10-8), RPI: 69, SOS: 46] On Feb. 15, 2014, Iowa was 19-6. A month later, when it bowed out of the First Four in Dayton, it was 20-13. On Feb. 14, 2016, the top-10 ranked Hawkeyes, led by Jarrod Uthoff, were 20-5. A month later, they were a No. 7 seed in Villanova's unrelenting bracket path, and they ended the season 22-11. For those wondering why the Watch has a habit of inserting Iowa into jokes about late-season collapses, well, there you go. It's also a preface for this: These are the Bizarro Hawkeyes. March is supposed to be when good Iowa teams make Fran McCaffery very angry and every Iowa fan quietly sad. These Hawks are (gasp) playing their best basketball down the stretch, winning at Maryland and Wisconsin in back-to-back road trips and forcing themselves onto a bubble that had no interest in them even a week ago. Saturday's win over Penn State set the stage for No. 7 Iowa vs. No. 10 Indiana on Thursday at the Big Ten tournament, which is not a setup any Big Ten tournament bracketologist (note: these don't exist) would have charted out a few months ago. Iowa might get into the tournament! A former walk-on from Bettendorf, Iowa, is arguably the team's second-best player! A Bohannon brother made a clutch shot at the Kohl Center to beat Wisconsin! Fran McCaffery seems generally pleased! Behold the Bizarro Hawkeyes, ye mighty, and despair!
