Nice...1-6 is most likely to me and wouldn’t be surprised if we go 0-7.
Michigan beat #6 UNC today.
Coach of the year. WowIf we get two wins in this group of 7, Fran may be in the running for national coach of the year and lock in another extension from Barta.
Playing back to back was hard on Bohannon or I don’t think we blow that first half lead. Plus Garza’s foul trouble. It was very winnable.Texas Tech - Beat 5 cupcakes
Crieghton/SDSU- neither has beat any one
Syracuse - Lost to Virginia and beat no one
Michigan - Beat Iowa State
Minnesota - Lost to Oklahoma, Butler, and Utah and beat no one
Iowa State - Lost to Michigan and Oregon State and beat nobody
Cincinnati- Has beat nobody and lost to Bowling Green
Iowa - Lost to DePaul and beat no one
Not sure why people think all these teams are so much better. All have only beat cupcakes. Only Texas Tech is ranked. I think Iowa will be fine. Especially as the bench gets shorter.
I like your optimism in the Michigan game, and wish I shared it. They are a 40%+ 3pt shooting team coming home off of a loss where they played awfully on the road against the #1 ranked team. Combine that with it being the first game of the Big Ten slate, and I don’t think that things stack up well for Iowa at all. I hope I’m wrong, but we may be running into a buzzsawPlaying back to back was hard on Bohannon or I don’t think we blow that first half lead. Plus Garza’s foul trouble. It was very winnable.
@Michigan - They look great, but I think we match up great. Simpson’s intelligence will be the difference in a close loss
Minnesota - Beat a bad Clemson Team. Otherwise 4 and 4
@ Iowa St - Haven’t beat anyone yet but 3 loses were to good teams.
@ Cincinnati - Illinois St lost by 1, Bowling Green beat them, Valparaiso lost in OT all at Cincinnati
Agree, feels like a bloodbath coming in this one with them coming off that beat down on the road.I like your optimism in the Michigan game, and wish I shared it.

Definitely think we start off 1-1 after a win against the Gophers though
I’m going with 2-2 over the next 4 games. JBo is able to play in the first 3 before he has to shut it down if he is (I believe he will). That would be 4-3 on those 7. Did anyone see that coming?Playing back to back was hard on Bohannon or I don’t think we blow that first half lead. Plus Garza’s foul trouble. It was very winnable.

Guessing 2 wins from those 7 games.
The worst Iowa can go is 4 - 3, and 5 - 2 is looking more than likely.1-6 is most likely to me and wouldn’t be surprised if we go 0-7.
I prefer to eat my Crow with steak sauce please?The worst Iowa can go is 4 - 3, and 5 - 2 is looking more than likely.
Dang —- I’m a dumb ass. Never saw this coming. Not sure where it goes with JBO sitting out but I’m impressed. I picked 0-7 or 1-6. To get 4 of these with a chance for 5. Unbelievable
damn still not sure how we lost to San Diego State
I was in the 0-7 or 1-6 camp so it looks like others will be right possibly.
I still think we will struggle this year (especially with JBO taking the medical hardship) and the schedule remains tough but this was absolutely a pleasant surprise and gives us hope for the future. Really gutty performance tonight.
Next year could be pretty good though if we get a couple of players in this next class and JBO possibly returns if he sits out this year after ISU.
Upsets happen frequently but not nearly as frequently as the favored team actually winning the game. Predicting three upsets based on nothing other than you hope that they happen .... that’s like picking a tourney bracket based on your favorite uniform colors.
I had hoped Evelyn would be capable of doing more by now heading into this stretch of games. Keep thinking he is going to get it going as he shot almost 43% from 3 and led the team in 3-pointers his sophomore year at Valpo. He has looked pretty shaky so far but did have a couple drives tonight. Definitely would rather see him drive it than shoot 3's.
3-4 would be great but not sure that is possible.
Welp. Things are looking up at Christmas time. Did not see that coming. Not our fault ISU and Syracuse are down this year. Winning both those on the road is great.Season will pretty much be determined by Christmas this year
Great ride so far. I hope the team is in great shape as I’m afraid they will run out of energy as the season progresses due to the short bench.
Do you even know how not to be an asshat?It's not even close to being accurate.
As it currently sits Iowa would play one ranked non-conf opponent (Texas Tech).
Toughest schedule he has ever seen. LMAO
You must not watch much basketball, or sports for that matter, all commentators say that bs.Settles is terrible as a commentator.
No matter who is playing, if he is doing the game, there will be several players on the court that are the "best in the country" at something.
