So, if Minnesota was full strength and held on to that 20 point lead or Northwestern was full strength and won would Iowa be playing that well. Proper context Iowa did get some breaks. Wisky was not on fire nor was Michigan State. How were they struggling when they lost to Maryland when they had...

Did Tom Davis say there should be segregation cause Biden didn't want his kids going to school in a "racial jungle" and if you don't vote for me you ain't black etc. etc. Don't think Mr. Davis was a bigot. Don't think he was an adulterer either or did Tara Reade type stuff or have videos of him...

Geez! all dispelled huh. They are not done yet so let's see how it ends because part of the fade mythology is not doing well in post season. Second, they are 5-5 in the last ten. The Fran Fade is being .500 in the last 16 games or half of the season and not rounding into shape going into post...

That was the OP. You don't have to agree. If they still don't feel it that is fine too. They obviously are not done or were not done esp. since the BTT is still there and if you win you are in. In reality you don't shut the lights till the record is not good enough and they are eliminated in the...

Well I don't think beating Wisky is that great a survive. Or that we should have survived. Should beat them at home. They are 5-5 in their last ten and sinking like a stone. They squeaked by Minny 61-59 and if Minny hit better than 39% of FT's that might have been another loss. Wanted them to...

What if Fran was 7-4 in the NCAA instead of 4-7 or 11-9 in the BTT instead of 9-11. Or what if Fran's teams didn't get down 19 to Cincinnati in the Tourney or over 20 to Villanova and nearly 30 to Gonzaga. Or down 17 to Indiana or 20 at home to Minny or get into big deficits more than any other...

What about 38-69 in close games?

Seen it quite a bit today. Guess it is that time of year. The eleventh loss, the tough stretch to go. Fran evaluation time. :)

That's funny cause you see the OP being silly because of wanting Fran gone for a down year with a young team. I read the OP talking about his 14 year record, his tournament record and win quality, lack of defense, and questioning the recruiting. At least argue his points instead of yelling...

Nice basketball adage and certainly can be true. What is the point? Saying that doesn't mean they will have a deep NIT run this year. You think they will and longtimer thinks they won't have a deep run. We will see what happens but 2012 is not gonna have any bearing on this years NIT run. Didn't...

Nice team, nice run. You don't forget but still that was 2012. Besides the OP said it looks like he won't add to his NCAA win total and that NIT run didn't add to that total either. Probably will be adding to his NIT win total this year. Not quite dead yet but not an unreasonable opinion for...

Nice eloquent, fair, and logic filled post by Mr Howe. Then right after the Fran's the winningest coach and you just can't connect with him bit. Also the people are saying he sucks which is not the case. Then the out of whack expectations thing again. Any coach, most wins or not, can be...

Didn't play their game. Also not playing great D in the latter stages. And why no D at the end? You just had the girl trapped and fouled early at 18.1 seconds left I believe. Just play the D there for a few seconds. I thought she was in trouble and they could have gotten a turnover but they just...

I do at times feel bad for the players. They deserve better. Better than average though but still you can more often see the potential not quite being reached. That second number posted earlier says quite a bit. Even with some players during that 19-23 stretch the close game record was still...

You will notice that the years 2019-2023 are years we have POY level guys with Luka and the Murray boys. I am gonna say go to guys like that were more responsible for 19-20 in close games. Conner was a solid floor general but if those three guys were only Rebraca level that record wouldn't be 19-20.

She tired and the shots and FT's were coming up short at the end or she would have had the record. Understandable as they rode her all night and was running the floor as well as banging down low. Epic game and she more than left it all on the court as the saying goes. :)

Think I saw a way too early prediction for B1G football. Washington was .500 and they had them losing at Iowa.

Don't think it is as easy they are 11-11 so we should win. They are tough at home. They are improving as much or more as we have. Didn't care enough to check if the injured Indiana dude played against PSU but they went in there and won while we fell short. They still have hope of postseason play...

Improving. Next 8 games is the season. Most all are tough games except Minny at home. Pedo state is on the road and they have all 9 wins at home. 0-8 neutral/away and they will really want that game so even some difficulty there. 4-4 would be impressive esp. if they keep them all close. Can get...

36 at the half with a last second 3. Maybe that flu thing had some merit. Seem kinda sluggish or off. Need to keep it up in the second and pull away. Don't let them hang around.
