Lick was underrated.

You don't win a huge amount of games in college BB without a point guard...

What a reach!!!

Iowa played 7 or those 11 at home at Carver in all 3 of those season under Lick and played 0 Big ten games. In 2017 Iowa has played just 5 of 11 games in Carver and already played 2 Big Ten games this season.

And you are really reaching if you are trying to compare these 2 coaches..

Lick set Iowa back to days of Peach Basketball, so comparing the 2 is a ridiculous stretch!!

Facts can be so triggering sometimes.

The difference being Fran has earned some rope based on the results he has already had during his tenure.

Wait we played two B1G games in the first 11 in those seasons? Facts?

Imagine that, another excuse.

Why not just compare this team to last year's team at this time? That team turned it around and made the bubble. Did Lick ever even sniff the bubble?

It’s an excuse when it doesn’t agree with your narrative, but a fact when it does. That makes sense.

Is it an excuse or fact that Baer was injured?

Lmfao. Do all of your posts include an excuse?

In your world I guess. What a sad sad world that is.

How bad is this season. Oh it is quite bad.

Losses to:
Louisiana Ragin Cagin
SD State Jackrabbits
Penn St...at home
Smoked in the ACC away Virginia Tech
Smoked at Indiana
Lost to our smaller in size rival (but played better in Ames, except for turnovers, free-throw shooter, guard the 3 point line, etc).

Broke our losing streak against the mighty Southern at home.

A lot of season left, but it has been a failure so far.

Hey! You did it. I'm proud of you.

I'm pretty sure Baer being injured is a fact.

Not making excuses is something that people who are actually on the team aren't supposed to do. There is nothing wrong with fans of a team pointing out the reasons (excuses) that things aren't going well. How do people not understand this? It's like people heard about not making excuses in junior high and never stopped to realize it only applies to you when you are on the team. It's funny as F to see fans on a message board talk about not making excuses, like they are somehow involved with the team.
