Worst and best case scenarios.


[/B]
Best Case: Senior
Aaron White continues his late-season drive to go out with some glory,
racking up three straight 20-10 games. Jarrod Uthoff lights up the
3-point arc. Adam Woodbury eye-gouges nobody and does not cheat to win
the opening tip. Coach Fran McCaffery stays calm for an entire week. Add
it up and the Hawkeyes have their best NCAA showing since the late
1980s, charging improbably to the Elite Eight. They're too physical for
Davidson and do a nice job on Gonzaga's Kyle Wiltjer and Kevin Pangos to
spring the big upset. Then they take out impostor UCLA in the Sweet 16.
Duke ends the run, but this is the best anyone has felt about Iowa
basketball in ages. And it helps take everyone's mind off the state of
Iowa football. Iowa State is shocked by UAB and Fred Hoiberg sprints to
the NBA.



Worst Case: Late
in a tie game with Davidson, Woodbury's wandering fingers find Tyler
Kalinoski's eyes and he's assessed a Flagrant-2 and ejected. McCaffrey
throws suit coat into the stands, rips off his shirt and howls
bare-chested at the officials. He, too, is ejected. Wildcats make six
straight free throws, score off the ensuing possession and pull away to
win. With no more basketball to watch, Hawkeyes fans are forced to
confront the reality of the football program. Meanwhile, Iowa State wins
the whole thing and Hoiberg says he's never leaving Ames.

That is hilarious and awesome and shows some actual insight to the state of Iowa athletics. A refreshing departure from the talking heads that know nothing about Iowa overall or individuals on the team.

Agreed! I can't stand to listen to the talking heads, especially at this time of the year. Every other team they refer to is a Final Four probable with at least one all-American on it. Guess what...only FOUR teams get to the Final Four, etc.

That is the best, funniest, most thorough writing I've seen on college basketball in some time. I've not read Forte much since he went to Yahoo but he's great

That truly gets the terms best case and worst case.

North Florida's best case scenario is hilarious - "Next stop is Charlotte, where North Florida looks very crisp in warmups
and plays an excellent first eight minutes before being trampled by
Duke."

"Hawkeyes fans are forced to confront the reality of the football program". HaHa. I hope Barta and Ferentz see this.
