Plus If Iowa finishes sixth and they take Illinois, and Minnesota who would finish 7th and 8th to the tournament I think that helps the Iowa argument not a lot or not even a game changer, but helps a little.
Where would you consider the program now ? You are all just lying to your self if you don't think just about any coach could do as good or a better job for a small fraction of the price. KF is one of if not the worst coach in the conference with almost zero light. Get rid of the old boy higher...
This is the truth if it wasn't for the contract have top 3 probably number 1. Only if one of those pro teams would have taken him when people thought he could coach. Oh well what could have been.
Now that is more than likely four tournament teams iowa has beaten this year. Win the next three Iowa is in. Times have changed the RPI is no where close to as big of measuring stick has it use to be. The BPI is picking up big momentum in that area. I know its hard to except change , but you...
I think its down to two scenarios for Iowa to make the tourney. Iowa wins out regular season or Iowa has one loss in last three and wins two games in BTT.
It's also funny how you have team dominated by freshman and sophomores and lose a few close games to nationally ranked teams most on the road and people complain. Mercy.
Speaking of Fran's recruiting is that pg for Xavier the same guy that was on his radar,?,and I see Carter is doing well. Also when is signing periods for 2014 right one is in October?and one in the spring ?
I really like how Fran plays the hot hand, and absolutely love how he coached the end of the Penn St game with the foul and the miss free throw on purpose. As long as Fran is around I think Iowa basketball will be year long excitement.
Has KF had an assistant coach leave the program cause he got promoted elsewhere ? I know some KOK lovers will mention him, but I don't think that was a promotion.
As far as the upper teams in the big ten are concerned having teams like Illinois, Iowa, Indiana,Maryland, Purdue and so on is the same as scheduling cupcakes.
