Plenty of choices. What do you think?

You will also notice where you can retract your vote... for people who tend to vote with emotion.

I thought they would finish closer to .500 in the B10. They had a lot of games that could have gone either way, at PSU, Purdue, at NU, Minnesota. The old saying of how a team progresses is that it goes from getting blown out, to losing close (which we did plenty of times this year), to winning close, to winning big. We lose Tate, but we played most of this year without him. This team has no excuse not to finish at least .500 in the B10 next year as shitty as the B10 is and will be.

Cosign for expectations this year. However, 26 of the top 29 scorers in the Big Ten could return next year...assuming none of them go to the draft early. The learning/improvement curve needs to be sharper than the competition if we want to finish in the upper half.

in all honesty, I haven't watched a single Iowa b-ball game this year. In part because they aren't good and in part because of geographical location. Hard to care when you never get a chance to see them play. Football on the other hand, I got to find a way to watch.

Call me an eternal optimist, but I really don't think we are that far away from making some noise once again. Iowa's problem has been more about turnovers and boards. Turnovers SHOULD be fairly easy to correct with practice and experience. Boards is about spacing, boxing out, tenacity, and THEN size. If we can get a big man or two to bang around and if Kelly and the other guards improve at all, we could make up a lot of ground. I know... I know... if "ifs" and "but"s were candy and nuts... etc, etc.

I didn't miss a single game this. This team has the talent, they just need more bodies and to stay healthy. We were in every single game this year sans a couple in conf. There's promise.
