i'm now jealous of the Nebraska hoops program

[glidinghawk]

Great coach, great facility, great fans, great atmosphere, very athletic players with toughness, smarts, playing hard and aggressive, start to finish.

I'm sure glad the Hawks played them in 2013.

And I'm really glad Iowa beat them. It is one of their signature wins.

 

[wuppup]

Are our fans entitled or something? I haven't see an atmosphere like that at Carver this year. I don't get it. Seriously it's Nebraska Basketball.

 

[TheIowaHawkGuy]

They are a top 25 team next season (even this season now) and will be a top 4 Big Ten team ahead of Iowa. WOW. They are what I wanted Iowa to be.

 

[hwks1]

Its all about expectations - Nebraska expects to win in every sport.

Their AD is committed to it.

The only school they respect in the B1G is Ohio State and they won't rest until they are the top athletic program in the B1G

The apologists for Iowa just cant see that our athletic programs are middle of the road B1G - at best

Pretty shocking that Iowa finished two games behind Nebraska in the standings.

Especially when Nebraska started out 1-5 in the conference. Hats off to the coach and the players.

While so many of the Pollys are awestruck at "how far" McCaffery has brought Iowa "back" in only 4 years, Miles has already surpassed it in 2 years with less talent.

If we are a lock and there a bubble team idk
Im assuming that will flip

 

[bbc]

Thanks. Didnt realize that!!

We are still at 39? How the heck is that?
If we stay below 50, no matter how much we are sucking, we are in guys.

Click on Nebraska and notice that they have the March 9th game at Nebraska listed.....

It was listed as 2013-14 Daily RPI yesterday......

It has changed today......

Agreed. It all starts at the top. I have AD envy. Big time.

 

[clicheusername3]

This is possibly the most depressing thread I have ever seen in my entire time on this forum. JFC...Fire Fran!

 

[SonofaSailor]

That arena...wow...I will be making the trip to see an Iowa game there...what an amazing atmosphere.

And I am a pretty big Tim Miles fan, the dude can coach.

 

[HawksMN]

Hawks still sitting at 40 in the official RPI's.
They will most certainly stay well below 50 even with a (gasp!) loss to lowly NW on Thursday.
That is a solid IN guys.

Nebbie is IN.

MN, sitting around 50 is as bubble as your gonna get. They had better hope not too many mid major upsets happen in the conf tourneys.

 

[DesMoinesHawki]

Nebby's coach has done a nice job with the program. Watched a BTN segment about him; seems like a good guy; seems like does a nice job of being intense but also being a player's coach.

 

[hawkforlife9]

I hate to say this.. Tim Miles = Fred Hoiberg. I love the demeaner, players respond.

 

[StatelineHawk]

I was going to say same thing. Fred has ISU going to 3rd tourney in 4 years.
