Kirk always says it's never as good as it seems and it's never as bad as it seems. This is absolutely a rebuilding year for the basketball team. I refuse to be emotional about it. Losing Cook this early hurt big time. This was already a weak defensive team with him. Without him there is basically a red carpet escorting opponents down the lane. It is what it is. Losing to a team like UNO is unacceptable, but it happens to the best of them. I believe it was just last year Wisconsin lost their opening game to Western Illinois or something and then went on to the Sweet 16. I'm not saying this Iowa team is Wisconsin so back off ya hacks. I'm just saying there's a whole lot of whiney lil b's in here.
Fran has been doing his best to resuscitate the Iowa basketball team back from the dead. I'm pretty happy with how far he has taken them so far, and in my opinion he deserves a year like this. Especially with the players he has coming down the pipeline. He'll get the team back on track. These guys just need to learn as much as they can this year.
