Ricky Davis Iowa G in 1998 Hawkeye Career: Averaged 15 points per game in 1998 (3rd best Freshman total in Iowa history) 464 points scored in 1998 (Hawkeye freshman record) Post Iowa career: Drafted 21st overall by the Charlotte Hornets in the 1998 NBA Draft

So if Ricky stays and Mr. Davis has him the next season, instead of sweet 16 are we in the Final 4 ?????

Speculation welcome.
 
No. TD was not a good enough HC to get a team loaded with NBA talent, to the FF. One NBA player wasn't going to get him there.
 
This is too much homework for me to do. Bowen would have been gone which would have been huge. Settles on his 12th year of eligibility was just a shell of himself at that point. Without doing a deep dive into this I would say sweet 16/elite 8 would be the best case scenario even if Ricky Davis came back.
