since March Madness and we are still talking about Iowa mens bball. I think this is telling.

The guy needs to make a sweet 16 first....which ya has to happen on the way to an Elite 8. Best team and best college player he couldn't get out of the 2nd round. Hope your right.Fran has built this team into a winner. He plays a compelling style of ball and he himself is, well, compelling. Frankly, I missed his blow-ups last year.
I do not believe we are rebuilding this year. I believe we are reloading. This team has more than enough talent to make the tourney and the team is almost all sophomores and juniors (and one tri-senior).
He is one elite 8 run away from being every bit the equal of Mr. Davis. I believe he will get it in the next 3 years.
That there's things to talk about. It'll be interesting how they look next yr. Such a mix of newer inexperienced guys taking on larger roles. Looks like many have us towards the bottom 3rd of the league due to that. Losing Garza and JW is a hell of a thing.since March Madness and we are still talking about Iowa mens bball.

Keegan Murray is going to be the next Luka Garza (in terms of effectiveness). Book it.Sports rarely go as planned, that's what makes it great. I think the Iowa basketball program is as healthy as it's been in decades, but that's just my view. I am excited for this year and I like the make up of the roster. It's a ton of unknown but I am excited as hell to see it. Fran's only not placed in the top half 3 times in 11 seasons and 2 of those were his first... so my expectation is somewhere in the middle but probably upper half
Just need someone to be respectable in the paint and sky's the limit for Keegan.Keegan Murray is going to be the next Luka Garza (in terms of effectiveness). Book it.
You know it reminds me of the 1991 team. There were exhilarating highs (buzzer beating wins over Temple, ISU and Indiana) and crushing lows (late season home losses to Wisconsin, Purdue and Illinois and the requisite screw job at Wiliams Arena that Davis coached teams always seemed to receive)Sports rarely go as planned, that's what makes it great.
