Only fools bet money on the Hawks.
I’m not disagreeing with any of your points. One thing that I don’t think Hawk fans are taking into consideration (even as Iowa plays crappy basketball) is that we are playing in the best conference in college basketball. This was proved during the nonconference slate, and just because teams have been beating up on each other all year, doesn’t make it untrue.Not sure they can win their first game in the B1G. March is different. Must rebound, must defend, and must be able to create off the dribble. Iowa does none of these well. Can they do two of three? Sure. And defense and rebounding will keep you in most games.
It's simply amazing that Fran can't re-engineer his philosophy to prioritize defense and rebounding more. We all watch them closely. And we all are well aware that these two fundamental aspects of winning basketball Iowa is inconsistent at best, and usually just not very good.
And these coaches get paid amazingly well.
So how much are you losing then when they make the tournament?Only fools bet money on the Hawks.

We are in as a 8,9 or 10 seed unless we get on a roll in the B1G Tournament.After the Hawks lose Thursday, there will be no NCAA tournament. You can take hat to the bank.
Looking more and more like Iowa is getting in.......After the Hawks lose Thursday, there will be no NCAA tournament. You can take hat to the bank.
It will be refreshing to play someone who hasn't figured us out.Whichever team they play is likely not going to pose much more difficult of a matchup than a team like Indiana or Rutgers...
This team doesn't belong in the NIT either. They can't beat anyone. The Big Ten should send Iowa packing and bring in a school with a real athletic program.
If Iowa manages to miss the dance, I’ll hop on the Fire Fran train. That would be an embarrassingly bad collapse. Still won’t count this team out though. They can get hot

In the exact same boatAgreed. I’m in the “meh” category on Fran for the most part and expressed reasons I wouldn’t mind if he stays but if they blow it so bad that they go from a 5th seed to not making the tournament, in the fashion they would have, that’s inexcusable.
That being said I am 99% sure they are getting in.
Yet somehow they finished 6th out if 14 in the Big Ten. That’s weird.
Probably a walk on...It really doesnt matter to me that we lose in the first game of the NCAA or the NIT. It will only matter to the guy that has a career scoring night beating us.
$50What do YOU want to wager? Will you count First Four as being in the tournament?How much are you willing to wager?
