That's all I have to say.
Loss sucked, but this program is in great hands.

This is what it felt like Kirk's 1st season. You could tell the program was in good hands and the future looked bright. Iowa basketball gives the same feeling in Fran's 1st year.
Nobody could describe this squad better than you just did sir. Feels IDENTICAL to Kirk's first year. Watching the OT I told my dad Iowa WILL be a tourney team next year....no doubt in my mind. Great to be ****** (in a weird way) after a loss...
I wouldn't compare this to KF 's first year. That would mean Iowa BBall would suck again next year. It seems more like KF's second year when you saw things actually getting better. Also some of his players started making their mark. The key thing that makes me excited about this team is that the leadership has already changed to Fran's guys. This will help with recruiting the kinds of players Iowa needs.

I hope we're heading in the right direction. The first two years under Lick I had those thoughts, but they were fleeting.
We sure need better 3 point shooting/shooters.

People who say they could tell Iowa's program was going in the right direction during Kirk's first season are using a little revisionist's history. Ending the season on a 10 game losing streak, and giving up 40 or more points in three of our last four games wasn't a whole lot of progress. That team was bad from begining of the year to the end. I think this feels like Kirk's second season when you could actually start to see the results on the field.
