2nd to last season a 2nd place finish, the only coach to go undefeated to date in Carver
last season 4th place finish, Michigan finished 7th and got in the NCAA Iowa didn't
Dean Smith, Gene Keady and the Kentucky AD who once defended his stance on playing Iowa as they had nothing to prove by playing Iowa
coincidence they got shut out while a 7th place Michigan got in, i doubt it
say what you will about Beas Hamga career is going, but at the time he was a 5* center, Robbie Hummel was a strong Iowa lean til Alford left, Peterson was from DeMatha HS in Maryland, and if i recall alot of Iowa fans wanted him back this year
Tony Freeman was a good point guard that got ran off by Lick
Who gives a rip if a coach is a *** as long as he recruits good players and win that is all that matters
one other thing he lost Horner, Brunner and Haluska to graduation off that 2nd place team that lost on a last 2nd miracle shot
get over it upsets happen, even Kansas has lost in the 1st round
the so called bare cupboard was of Licks on doing
running off players, he had a chance to bring his best recruit with him but told him to stay at Butler Hamgas was willing to honor his commitment, but Lick told him he didn't want him
how many coaches turn away a 4* and 5* recruit
only a idiot like Lick would
5* center and a 4* PF
