I hate to say it, but I feel more like a fake ID team this year than I did back in 2015 when Cowherd called us out. This is the worst offensive team I can remember (I'm only 28 so I don't have too much history, but still). I'd feel a whole hell of a lot better if we were hanging around 12-15 and...

For what it's worth- ESPN's bracket leader has Iowa vs Baylor playing in the National Championship game (He also picked Oral Roberts to advance to the Sweet 16 so let's hope there is a method to his madness).

Beth Mowens...lol

May the madness commence. Fran deserved the raise and extension, but come on, leave it to Barta to get the timing wrong. An after season extension seems more appropriate.

Everyone is forgetting how good Garza is. The last 20 games of the season he faced Big 10 teams who have seen him now 5-7 times in the last few years. They were starting to figure out how to hold him to just 20 points per game. When Garza steps out of the conference like he will for the tourney...

Illinois is a legit NC contender. Cockburn is an absolute physical force and honestly I don't know who can guard that guy. Our path to the Elite 8 or even the championship doesn't run through them/him. Wouldn't worry about it. Just happy we have a team that people think can get to the Elite 8...

How much is GCU paying you for this advertisement?

Shut the clock of today. First one to 100 wins. Also, if Iowa wins the tourney they are for sure a #1 seed. I give you the FloridaHawks guarantee on that one.

We beat Wisconsin a few days ago without JW. We should rest him for the dance. Also, for everyone who says it is tough to beat a team 3 times- I agree. But, on the other side of things, it is tough to beat a team that has already beaten you twice. It probably just means that they are the better...

Agreed. A close loss to a Wisconsin team that we've already beaten twice is better for the morale than getting whipped by OSU or Michigan (maybe even Illinois, too).

When you look at a 14 team bracket that has 9 NCAA bound teams you wont find a scenario you like. I have to agree that I'll be less emotionally invested in the BTT and would rather the guys get rest. We are a 2 seed almost guaranteed.

It is easy to be the pessimist when the odds are already stacked against you (that being the 64 teams in a single elimination bracket). So I'm gonna say our ceiling is the final 4. We wont get passed a Gonzaga, Baylor or Michigan. Realistically, making the sweet 16 should be the goal. This would...

Would that be JBo's 7th year? The guy would make Van Wilder look like he graduated early.

Iowa getting a 1 or 2 seed would be the best thing that could happen to my March Madness bracket. Every other sucker is going to bring them to the sweet 16 or elite 8. Anyone following Iowa basketball knows from experience this team is a second round upset loss- almost guaranteed. The first team...

PSU - W Mich - L OSU - W Neb - W Wisc - L

Realistically, we'll finish 2-2 and make it to the semis in the BTT and then get a 4 seed in the tourney.

We better hope we grab the 3 seed because the route of a 4 and 5 would not do us well. If we cannot get a 3 I'd rather slide to a 6 seed. 4/5 seeds usually get pinned against pretty good mid major teams (12/13) and there are a lot of upsets in those games. Also, a 6 seed would avoid the 1 seed...

At this point, everyone should stop beating a dead horse over the defense. It's been this way since Fran came to Iowa. Defense sucks and always will with him coaching. Our best and only chance is feeding Garza the ball until he scores 35 points in round 1 and 2 of the tourney and then hoping we...
