Anyone know Frans email? He's gotta read this take, it is spot on the money....

They even took the NW game off too...

Bills calls things as he sees things, and BTW, circumstances do change, and based on the new circumstances, so does his analysis. I agreed,i didn't think they deserved, but know that they got the playin game, iowa is the most understated BPI team in the tourney, and if they beat TN (we will...

As long as TN doesn't make 8-10 treys and shoot 45% from arc, Iowa should win.

So their #4-5 guys can rebound but they can't shoot 3pters, and they only Avg 5 treys/gm. On only Avg shooting, 33%. it seems lime Iowa has been killed by the Trey, and killed from those unlikely big guys, like Buggs at MN, byrd at MSU, Kaminsy from Wis, and the 2 gus from NW, so, not having...

Since KemPom was referenced, Iowa is now 347 of 352 or in the 99th 'Bad luck' percentile. They are really really really due for a couple of breaks.

Nice call....

I think you can watch the 'talking heads' all night long with out any of the mentioning IOWA. Can't really blame them...

So, if Iowa loses the play in game, they don't make it in to the big dance of 64....

"If the season had panned out in reverse", well the season has panned out as Iowa being one of the poorest teams in the BIG, finishing ith 1 win in last 7, and that being an unimpressive win vs non qualifier and deep BIG also ran. Wisky also got to the BT semi finals

I agree eith Thunderhawk. Iowa loses 6 of last seven, 4 of rhise who arent good enough for the tourney, and loses to last place NW in BTT. If they did not make the tourney, I can sure see why, so no, in my view, this team is not a lock...

^ Better yet, split #4 between Basabe (22 min) and White (18min) and give white another (16 min) in the #3 spot, leaving plenty of mins for Uthoff (22 min) and Mccabre (2 ).

I agree, I'd rather have the rest of the team (6-24 25% vs NW) chuck it up there.... My god, at least white can rebound, score in transition, score at high FG%, draw fouls and get to the line vs the rest of the perimeter chuckers that always seem to shoot it, with out bringing any other...

A. Lucky to get in. B. Beggars can not be choosers. C. No easy runs or brackets.

I don't think they will make it. Losers of 6-7, and to the worst team in the conference in last time out...

I'm leaning less on chemistry problems, and more on mechanical problems like pick and roll defense, not rotating on d (remember when Crawford drove hard to basket and made desperation pass to wide open guy standing by himself who nails 3 at shot clock, as Oglesby sagged to baseline and was...

I'm going to disagree. At one time IOWA was a top 5 KenPom team, a top 10 Massey Composite, and Teamrankings gave them a 20% chance of FF and 6% chance of winning. The empirical data clearly shows Iowa as a dominant team, right up until Mels illness, that is when the empirical numbers all...

So this adds difficulty to the schedule. An add'l road trip, along with going to MSP, MICH, to IND, add flight delays, getting in late, and still having to get up and do your job is harder than most can imagine, so, yes, I agree with the Disassembly Hall factor.

I'm in some agreement, but 3/4 the way thri, Iowa was a TOP 4 oEff team. Top 4. So whatever they were doing they were doing at an elite level. What has dramatically changed?

A. The defense has had huge drop off after Mel was out, but still is suffering why? Mel Avg +22mn since return, only 16, despite scoring at an elite eFG 13-20, and his elite O-Reb and ability to turn those into scores at the rim, Fran only plays him 14 gm and vs IL 3-4 in 14mn. Remember the...
