Pretty fair analysis -
Wow ! And nicely said about the big stage and handling the pressure. Fran will have to do his part in getting our boys ready better prepared for the big stage and bright lights, and hopefully Fran will stay calm in those tight games so our guys do the same.



I was pretty shocked he said that out here - considering we within 20 minutes of Duke, UNC, and NC State - although it appears only one of those schools will be relevant this year

Not only is Jay Bilas the smartest analyst in all of sports--whether professional, college, high school, middle school, elementary school, intramural, rec league, or unorganized "pick up"-type games--he is also he smartest human in the entire United States. Perhaps the world.

I also heard he is hung like a Buick.

Calm yourself. Please. Overly high expectations plus Iowa sports combine to form a powder keg on message boards across the great state. It's January. This team looks better every time it goes out, but March is a LONG way off. And furthermore, I don't care about seeding. I care about our bracket, when it's released.

Hey O'Keefe, when do you think Iowa fans will wake up to Fran peaking in Franuary and always gagging in March? You've been down on the guy for years, will the rest of the fan base wake up, or did the win over Davidson in the tournament last year silence all critics forever?
