Who First?

Nebraska because they have a new coach.
You know what Iowa has and if it hasn’t happened in 9 years, it isn’t.

When exactly do you think the “modern” era started?
Iowa. Fred never won it in the Big 12, with less teams in the conference, better basketball tradition at Iowa St then Nebraska, no grueling 20 game conference schedule, etc so I’m not sure why Husker fans would assume he is going to win one here.
The reality is neither is probably going to win one while Fran or Fred are coachesat their respective schools.

Better question would be who wins an NCAA tournament game first.
Oh wait...
Nebraska 0-7 (7 appearances)
Iowa 30-28 (26 appearances) 3 Final Fours and 8 Sweet Sixteens

Who cares. I probably won't be alive.
Why would I? It doesn’t appear the OP is counting that.
Also, I missed the modern era part so he must be saying modern era started after 1980.

Why wouldn’t he? In Basketball and Baseball you have regular season champions and tournament champions..
Tourney championships are just that, you won a tournament. It is not a conference championship.
Don't let Iowa State fans see that....
Well then him saying Iowa hasn't won in the modern the the Big Ten Championship in basketball in the "modern era" would be wrong because Iowa has done that 2 times in the last 18 years.
Yeah, Nebraska fans obviously trying to change the rules to fit their agenda here. My guess is if it was the other way around, they wouldn't let Iowa say they are hiring a coach that has won conference championships when they are only conference tournament championships.
I knew Iowa has won 2 conference tournaments.. The OP Apparently he didn’t.
Fair enough.. So Nebraska won a conference championship (Baseball) first since joining the conference in one of the 3 major Men’s sports..
Got it!
This apostrophe thing, is it contagious?
Some conferences (ACC I think) recognize their tournament champ as the official conference champ, but the Big Ten doesn’t- at least in basketball. Not sure about B12 or other B10 sports. I think for big ten tournament champ is official champ
So was it better that Duke was the NCAA Tournament's overall #1 seed based on their regular season and conference championship? So winning the NCAA Tournament isn't as good?
Please don't tell me you think a tournament and the NCAA are the same thing. That is just being dense.
Just because Nebraska has a new coach does not mean they will.
Replacing Fran with a new coach doesn't mean it will.
Other than last year the general direction of Fran's teams have improved. So has his recruiting overall.
I say stick with Fran. His players love him. His players graduate. He's got his flaws, but I don't believe he's satisfied with what he's accomplished. He'll work hard to continue to improve.
I've heard the pie in the sky argument. I heard it when we pressured Dr. Tom in to retirement. It was a mistake then. Fran can still improve this program!
You're right. Winning 6 NCAA Tournament games over 19 days is quite the accomplishment. But I also don't discount what it takes to win a Conference Tournament. Iowa's 4 games in 4 days was remarkable at the time.
2011 UCONN was out of this world! won 5 games in 5 days to claim Big East title (and to make the NCAA Tournament) Then went on and won 6 more games to take home that championship. But they were nowhere close to a regular season champion.
Point is.. Winning any championship is hard!
Every year I care less and less about the conference titles and more about advancing in the NCAA tourney.
