And that's exactly why Iowa is not an NCAA team. Are they a pretty decent team? Yes! However, they are just too young, inconsistent and poorly coached** this year.
** Before you go haywire, I want to clarify that FrannyMac is a good coach who is over-coaching. He's still trying to "outsmart" the game with his funky lineups at crucial times. He's still reaching for "Rudy moments" with his substitutions (today, with Marble, was like Mickey making Rocky go righty, then unleashing the southpaw -- he held RDM out forever, then thought he was going to be the "ace-up-the-sleeve" at crunch time, just like at PU, neither worked out.)
Next year!
