Iowa 14-10 (5-8) Rest of the way predictions

[djwoody]

14-17 and 5-15 in the B1G. Brutal.

My level of excitement watching Iowa Men's Basketball games these days:

 

[AmericaNeedsMe]

At this point, I see one more win and that would be at home against Washington. The rest are Ls bringing our final record to 14-14. Thank gawd we padded our win total early against the usual cadre of bunnies. Can you imagine what kind of crowds we're going to draw the rest of the way?

That non-con home schedule plus sucking hind tit in the Big Ten....

I mean....how do they expect fans to be enthused about this shit?

It's crazy.

There are 23 active coaches in D! Basketball with over 500 wins. I know who 12 of them are including Fran. Of the 12 I know, Fran is the only one without a sweet 16 appearance. Who would maybe be another one?

I could see the wheels falling completely off and they lose out.

Didn't he take Siena to sweet 16?

No

That'd be awesome

Used to think the UWash game was a 'gimme'. No way, no how they lose that. No matter how bad they are.

Now? Would not be least bit surprising if the Hawks lose that too. Not even slightly.


And should they do lose that game, that should be the final nail in Fran's coffin - put in place by Beth's hammer.

If they lose out and Fran is retained…

Fire Beth. Fire the U of I Prez. Fire the whole Board of Trustees.

That's a little strong

 

[fezzador]

That's a little strong

I was being facetious.

Fran in all likelihood is done. There’ll probably be some sort of “mutual agreement” so both sides can save some face.

 

[tweeterhawk]

That's a little strong

Accurate, though.

 

[SDHawkDoc]

Still a lot of good games to watch. Just that none of them involve Iowa.

Ok I was a bit worried that all those folks were going to be fired

 

[HawkeyeGenius]

I was going to go to the Oregon game, but I'm out now. I'd have to get a hotel, and the $150 and taking off work isn't worth it. Glad I hadn't bought tickets yet.

 

[MikeyHawk]

6 Quad 1 games left, maybe 7 if Oregon moves up a few spots. Only 1 for sure at home against Sparty

Could be 0-15 in Quad 1 games

Maybe get the Quad 3 records to 1-1 if they can beat Washington

And 0-10 on the road.

 

[SDHawkDoc]

0 wins in quad 1 games would be quite a feat.
That equates to essentially no good wins. For an entire season.

I honestly wouldn't be surprised if they steal one at some point, since the team seems to have not packed it in yet, but yeah. Even if they do, it's been a really crappy season.

Savory 32

 

[QChawks]

 

[QChawks]

14 wins!

 

[HawkeyeGenius]

This is the beginning of our come back.

 

[Hawkeye Marching Band]

I thought they might be able to get a W against Rutgers, but I surely didn’t expect it after Thelwell got hurt.

 

[Mohawkeye]

First Quad 1 win. Sweet.

 

[BirdistheWord]

Worst case 0-7 finish, not likely but given how depleted we are, it’s possible. I would say best case is 3-4, sort of a pipe dream. 1-6 or 2-5 are most likely.

If we could hit a few more 3’s and get decent effort on the boards, we could win a couple.

 

[Franisdaman]

Gonna be tough now without Owen.

Guessing we finish 3-6 over our next 9 games, which means 16-15, 7-13.

Name the 3 wins.

There's 1!

2 to go!!!!

 

[Hawkeye Marching Band]

There's 1!

Washington at home is the best bet of the remaining games. What else looks like a reasonable chance? Maybe at Northwestern and home against Oregon.

I think we get 2 of those 3
