Your 2019-2020 prediction for Iowa

[PCHawk]

As of now, too many variables. Does JBo play? How long is Pemsl suspended? What other injuries/health issues are on the table?

Best-case? 21 wins + 2 wins in BTT + 2 wins in NCAA

Average-case? 18 wins + 1 win in BTT + 1 win in NIT

Worst-case? 12 wins + no-win BTT + Fran resigning or being fired over a negative PR-related gaffe

I think a lot of people here would argue that your "worst case" would be their best case.

I think a lot of people here would argue that your "worst case" would be their best case.

"Best-case", for me, would be JBo playing, Evelyn playing like a "veteran", Joe T being a diaper dandy, etc.

This is funny ... now.

If you create a hybrid between your Best and Average case, that is an average season under Fran. 20-22 wins, 1 win in the BTT, NIT or low seed in NCAAT, 1 NIT or NCAAT win. In fact, aside from the Lickliter years, that is Iowa basketball since 1987 pretty much.
