I said it 4 years ago and I will say it again today. Alford is growing as a coach. Seasons like this will only help him on the recruiting front. I think it's a matter of time before SA makes a run in the tournament.
Iowa hired Alford too early in his career and Iowa fans (IMHO) grew too restless with him too soon. I think it's going to work best for both parties in the long run because Alford was a lightning rod from day one. But in terms of W's and L's Alford's best days are and were ahead of him.
