This is a very well coached team. They know what they are good at and they stick to it. Gesell sticks with the dribble drive and the mid range jumper. As a team we pound it inside and get to the line. We dont shoot a ton of threes. Uthoff is getting so good at that turn around over a smaller opppnent. Gabe runs the floor. Woody rebounds and pisses people off by being goofy, almost always in the way, and a little dirty. And White has been terrific. Team attitude and chemistry has gelled at the right time..... Finishing Third in the Big is very nice, better than the basement.....

Connor McCaffery follows in his old man's footsteps, and chokes in the state tournament. North Scott's starting guards put up 43 of their 57 points.
Tell me moar about his court vision Duff.

Man, last night Twitter just blew up with a hok love fest unprecedented following a 20 point asskicking. Like I have said many times before, the ghost of Lick continues to haunt us, as most fans are just relived we're back to the "glory" of the early Alford years, rather than being pissed we shit the bed against a team with a pulse.

I supposed that's one way to view it. I for one, was glad that there wasn't a ton of negativity like there is during most games.

In one sense I agree with this. The abused child is glad just to be taken seriously again. Thanks for not pummeling me daddy. But you talking about Lich like that's where Iowa BB history begins and ends is laughable if not expected given your age. Dig a little deeper to fully understand Iowa's BB pedigree. What glory days exactly are you talking about? One elite-8 and three Sweet-16s under Davis, one NCAA win under Al-fraud? Consider this.....the real glory days were under Lute...which most of you cannot remember...but I do. One final-four, B1G championship, five straight NCAA tourney appearances under Lute. But even Lute got beat in the 1st and 2nd rounds and other than the final four team, never made an elite 8. Those were the glory days. So, the bar at Iowa *is* being conference-competitive, making the tourney and winning a game. Like it or not. That's the high-end of Iowa's program sustained attainability. Fran has taken Iowa back to Iowa's upper-bar territory. And yes, it's good to be relevant again. Very good.

Is a 7th seed and 2nd round blowout really relevance? By relevance, do you mean "Iowa fans care again", because that's about all that's changed between the moment Pierre Pierce shoved his dick up that chick's ass, and now.

Iowa basketball is better than it has been in a decade. That makes me happy. If this trend continues, the next few years could be pretty freaking awesome. So, are we at a high point, or still climbing? I for one see us still climbing. next year we get the vast majority of players back. We lose White, but we lost Marble and did fine. I personally think Fran has the team going the right way. As long as he doesn't have an aneurism we are going to be pretty decent with very good sprinkled in occasionally.

Two years of NCAA title game, then zero. Lute went for five years. You may continue to re-write your Russian history books now.

We were lucky as shit that Michigan and Illinois were both down this year and OSU didn't ever really gel. The basketball program is irreparably fucked. While I don't think White was very good, he was definitely a key to beating shitty teams. Uthoff is the only legit baller we have for next year and the team will take a giant shit when he and Gesell graduate. Woodbury is fucking terrible and I hoped we were getting Meyers Leonard lite with him, but we actually got Seth Gorney heavy, as the kid can't make a shot from outside the lane and half his shots in the lane are just fucking disastrous. We are fucked. Hard.

We are fucked. Hard. I tend to agree with this line of thinking more. This season, we're losing 35% of our scoring, and 32% of our rebounding with White and Olesani. We're going to have 2 players who stand over 6'7", and one player who weighs over 215. For whatever reason, Franc has a recruiting class coming in of 5 guys who play the exact same fucking position, and none of them are particularly highly rated. If the BoneG is as shitty as it was this season, then Iowa can probably finish top 5 and get a 7-11 bif back into the tourney through the efforts of Teeth and Jok, if he improves some. If the BoneG is like it was 2 years ago, we'll finish with 8 wins and a NIT home game.

Meh, I am an optimist as long as the team continues to improve, which it has. Until they show something else, it is what it is. Gonzaga showed us we have a long ways to go, but we are light years ahead of where we were just 5 years ago.
