Hope Iowa proves him wrong. Sounds like he didn't do much research on Iowa.

Way to do your homework Andy. He'll find out.

Jay Bilas also doesn't have Iowa in his top 68, which is the true top 68, not predicting automatic qualifiers. How does he have a coach with his history and a point guard that Bilas has as an All-American not be in the top 68?

Which team will make the biggest leap from 2024-25?​

Lunardi: Iowa Hawkeyes

A season ago, Iowa missed its second straight NCAA tournament. As a result, Fran McCaffery now finds himself coaching at his alma mater, Penn. The deeper issue involved the Hawkeyes going three straight campaigns with a sub-150 defensive rating, costing them games despite considerable offensive talent. It was an anomaly in terms of approach in the Big Ten, one that new coach Ben McCollum figures to immediately solve. McCollum's ultra-patient style and ultra-experienced imports will surprise in their new league and sneak into the tournament.

Run BMC is about to take a Cignetti-style dump on Bilas' predictions.

At least that's what I'm telling myself after beating an intramural team that shot 50/50 from the line by a thousand points. I'm gonna enjoy it while I can.

It's all good. Coach has a lot of "us vs the world" motivation to work with. Rather be overlooked than over estimated........

That's why I don't want Iowa ranked in any football polls. Good things never happen when Iowa's ranked in any sport.

While obviously I hope Katz is wrong....he WASN'T wrong on Fran's last 2 teams and I was pretty vocal on his twitter that he was wrong and an idiot. I was wrong, I was the idiot.
