You know the biggest bummer about being eliminated from the BTT tonight is?

I never thought I'd see the day where Iowa MBB misses the conference tournament. Just really disappointing and unacceptable.

Why? Because we're such a perennial power program? That's kind of silly.

Michigan finished dead last in the league last year. They're 5x the basketball program Iowa is. It happens.

Half the board thinks we're dook
The only time the terms "Iowa" and "Duke" should appear in the same sentence, at least concerning basketball:

Iowa had to duke it out with Northwestern to see who the crappier program is.

It's possible, perhaps even likely, that Iowa takes men's hoops less seriously than any other power conference program. Summit league-level NIL funds is pretty telling.

Nobody on this board thinks that.
The people that believe we could hire Bruce Pearl or Rick Pitino. The people who never could have dreamed we could miss the conference tourney. The people who proclaimed that this team would easily make the NCAA tournament. The people who said we had three all big ten players in this team. The people who said we had three of the top 20 players in this league. The people who said this team would win a lot of games. The people who believe that Iowa was named the 10th best basketball program in the nation in 2000...... I could go on and on.....

C'mon, man.
 
they could have won the BTT and my level of excitement would be the same as them missing the BTT.
Okay that’s just silly. That would be a crazy accomplishment for a teams that roster wasn’t enough even when healthy. I get wanting to move on from Fran.
