Count me in the anti-Alford crowd, but I love that they might beat mighty Kentucky. Just so tired of UK.12 minutes to go and UCLA up by fifteen. I'm just about to give Alford a 50/50 shot of winning this, almost.
How many number 1's has Alford beat?
I know he had that one; I thought he had some more. Pretty good still.Is my memory wrong or was Connecticut ranked #1 the first game Alford coached Iowa?
I thought we beat Ucla at Carver when they were #1.
Not sure if Steve was the coach.
Or then, maybe I was drunk.
Maybe Kentucky will go 39-1 this yearCount me in the anti-Alford crowd, but I love that they might beat mighty Kentucky. Just so tired of UK.

It was all downhill from there...well...mostly...Yes, Alford's 1st game at Iowa was an upset win over #1 UCONN. I believe that was at MSG Coaches vs. Cancer Classic. UCONN had won the national championship the season before. Ironically, UCONN was who beat Iowa in the Sweet 16 that year (Tom Davis's last game and the last time Iowa has reached the Sweet 16).

Thought it was Kentucky we lost too in the sweet 16 match?

Yes, it was right after Chris Street was killed by the snowplow. First game back @ Carver. It was a big win over UCLA and Don McLean. I was there. AC had a big game...around 29 pts if my memory serves me well.The year UCLA came to Carver was like '92 or something. Pretty sure it was Acie Earl and Chris Street-era.

Completely inaccurate.
Iowa played UCLA at home on 12/22/1990, Chris' freshman season.
The 1st game back after Chris died was against Michigan.
Don Mclean was drafted by the NBA in 1992, Chris died in 1993.
Your memory is way off. The Super Bowl Sunday game vs Michigan Fab Five was the first game at Carver after Street's passing.Yes, it was right after Chris Street was killed by the snowplow.
