IOWA #7 in the Nation in Longest Active NCAA Tournament Streaks (4 years). Longest Streak in Program History is 5 years
- Thread starter Franisdaman
- Start date
So don’t construct a team that can only live and die by their shooting percentage, and even then it’s not always enough to win.
This should be obvious.
I wish the NCAA had issued the invites in 2020 to throw a small reward to the teams who had earned that honor. That would make it 5 years streak for Hawks and 8 of 10 for Fran at Iowa.
And that 5 year streak by Fran would tie the program's record
people seem to have forgotten that we went 7 straight years without an NCAA Tournament appearance
2007: Alford
2008-2010: Lick
2011-2013: Fran
I'd think you have to show some respect to Fran for that. I really hope we get a couple of good portal players so he can have the official record by going again next year.
fans can be very weird sometimes when they focus just on a loss
67 teams in the NCAA Tournament end their season with a loss
Has any team had back to back POY and also consensus AA lottery pick and 2 other NBA draft picks in a 5 year timeframe?
I definitely agree. I hope Riley makes a jump for next season like many big men their first 2 years and Fran can get some serious credit about developing players. he's been underwhelming but has flashes once in awhile. Plus he's a likable kid.
as someone mentioned above, I wish they had extended invitations in 2020 so that 2020 counted and, as a result, Fran officially tied the all time program record of 5 straight NCAA Tournament appearances
Nice consistency. I have to give Fran credit for that.
I'd like to recite some lyrics that always come to mind when I think of Iowa hoops (and to a large degree, Iowa Football as well):
"Jerry was a race car driver
He drove so goddamn fast
He never did win no checkered flags
But he never did come in last"
Maybe one day Fran will figure out how to have some success in March.

Not too bad considering how so many people question the benefits of playing at Carver. Just imagine what we could do with a rabid, committed student body.
Seems to me that some other teams are including the covid year to complete their string of tournament appearances.
