Not sure I'd call this season a missed opportunity.

I'd call it a logical assessment that this season represents Iowa's BB ceiling.

Not a bad thing. In fact, a good thing. Being relevant is good. Being mentioned nationally is good.

Just not a great thing.

Why does everyone say this is our ceiling after every single year?

Uh uh uh I never thought Iowa's program was our ceiling under Lichliter. Or Alford.

But look at the facts/history....Davis was one win and done more than not. So was Lute.

For every 'bad' year we didn't make the NCAA's, there's been a 'good' year where we go and win won, then bow out. Two wins is rare.

I don't mind that. I don't mind losing. I do mind losing by 35 and looking like chumps.

So, yes, seriously, being competitive, relevant, and winning an NCAA game...all very good. And it's Iowa's average sustainable ceiling.

15-3 start 2 years ago, 10-1 start in B1G play this year with 4 Seniors at a school that isn't a blue blood i feel you have to take advantage of that.
