to find a better start you have to go back to the Alford years



yeah, but we played better schedules back then. herby, quick pull up the google and put that out there too.
 


Whens the last time we started 6-2
How bout 8-1
What about 7-5
Have we ever started 5-0 and traveled out of the country the next day
 




I'd take this team over the perennial under-achieving Alford (AKA the Ron Zook of college basketball) squads any time.
 






4-0 is nice but the Hawks haven't played anybody yet, and haven't played a game away from Carver.. I'm hopeful but this team hasn't proven anything yet. Just trying to keep my expectations in check, particularly after a few shaky performances. Hopefully this team will get it together.

The good thing is that it's been a little shaky so far, but it has not cost the team any games yet, unlike last year...
 








the 2003-04 they started out with just one good team in Louiville beating the likes of
UNC Asheville
Drake
Louiville
Wisconsin GB
Eastern Washington
N Illinois
the losing to UNI
losing to TX Tech
beating Eastern Illinois
losing to Missouri
to finish the OOC at 7-3, they lost to 3 good Teams and beat 6 cream puffs, I don't see any difference
we have coming up Western Kentucky, Witchita State, UNI, ISU and VT before they go into BT play

What happened in 1996-97? I know it was similar to 03 but cant remember for sure. Plz check
 


the thing about them going 6-0 they ended up 16-13, here to hoping this team finishes better
oh by the way Fran needs just 6 more wins to equal Licks total of 38 wins in 3 seasons

its truly amazing how fast people attack a positive thread

If Iowa had played teams from other major conferences, or ranked opponents, it would be different. People are just trying to keep their expectations in check.

Don't take everything so personally (or think that it's personal toward the team)...
