If Texas Tech wins tonight, will it give you hope your program can too?

Good thing is I’m 100% certain that will never happen. There’s only a few schools out there I can say with certainty will never win a national title and Iowa is one of them.
Than Texas Tech.
Culver has to blow up in the NBA and Tech has to continue to win.
A National Championship will only get them so far when Texas and other schools are closer to the talent.
Plus as you know CBB recruiting is a little shady.
We will see what Greg Brown and RJ Hampton.
I would be surprised if either one of them end up playing for Texas Tech
I see what you are saying.
And yes, CBB is super shady. Especially right now. Look at schools like Kansas and Duke, praying the other shoes doesn't drop. While trying to act like they win legit.
It will be so nice to see either of these schools win tonight, but more so TT. That would be a great thumb in the eye to all those cheating programs. Especially Kansas who is in their conference. Laughing
Every team in the Elite 8 had at least one guy from Texas. Along with the ones you mentioned.
Marco Anthony from Virginia - San Antonio, TX
J'Vonn McCormick from Auburn - Katy, TX.
Matt McQuaid from Michigan State - Duncanville, TX
Jeremey Jones from Gonzaga - San Antonio, TX
Marques Bolden from Duke - DeSoto, TX
Justin Robinson from Duke - San Antonio, TX
Other than Michigan and Northern Kentucky every team we have faced in the tournament had a Texas guy. CJ Massinburg of Buffallo was from Dallas, TX.
You back for more, slap nut? I can go on all day, shitting in your head.
Just let me know. RollLaughRollLaugh
Did you make a farming joke/insult as a Kansas fan? Interesting......
Believe me, I'm well aware that you can make idiotic posts all day. You have nothing to prove. RollLaugh
Didja happen to notice who started the "hayseed" cracks?
But while we're on the subject, I'm from KC, which is twice the size of the largest city in Iowa.
I love how everyone from Kansas claims to be from KC. RollLaugh
Its like if they ever visited KC, they claim they live there. Blahahaha
Its like if they ever visited KC, they claim they live there. Blahahaha
KS population: 2.9 million.
KC metro population: 2.2 million.
Aaaand...next stupid post!
Add in Wichita and you basically have the entire states population.
@hawkit3113 lives in the Topeka of Iowa
I lived there for 3 years, jack ass. Dont try to impress me with KC. Laughing
Guys like you were a dime a dozen. Wanted to claim anywhere but Kansas.
Bitch please. I lived in Platte Woods, Blue Springs and Lee's Summit.
Lots of racists down there. Good food though.

Well this is true. I can't remember the last white player from the Des Moines area to actually contribute on Iowa's roster.........
Good work pointing that out, fan of a team that Iowa is better than.
Not necessarily true.
Many of the Florida teams that have went to Final4's consists of about 1/3 to 1/2 players from Florida HS's and the rest from out of state. The majority from the championship teams came from out of state (with a strong Tennessee flavor) or even internationally:
(* indicates McDonald All-American)
For instance, the starting five for the 2006-2007 Champs from UF:
Al Horford (Michigan via Dominica Republic)
Joakim Noah (New York via France & Sweden)
Corey Brewer* (Tennessee)
Lee Humphrey (Tennessee)
Taurean Green (Florida)
Some of our bench players did come from Florida:
Chris Richards (Mr. Florida Basketball)
Maurice Speights (Florida) -- NBA 1st RDer.
Walter Hodge (Florida via Puerto Rico)
Adrian Moss (Texas)
The back-to-back UF national teams had only one McDonald All-American (Brewer). However, those teams had at least 7-8 top 100 National players that played unselfish, team basketball and worked as a team. Three of the players ended up being NBA Lottery picks, one other was a 1st RDer and two others were 2nd RDers.
UF's 1st Final4 team (i.e, Dametri Hill, Andrew Declerq, etc.) had no Micky D's what so ever - the 1994 UF team was somewhat of an unexpected team that had just put it all together during the year - it was a lot like Loyola-Chicago last year.

Interesting about the star rankings. Matt Mooney who looked like a pro against MSU was not even rated. This does give me hope as a South Carolina fan. Hard work and a defense that chokes out a team evidently creates results.
Florida & Texas Tech played last year in the NCAA Tournament where the Red Raiders have prevailed in a close contest. I think that Texas Tech has a very, fast & impressive defensive team with timely scoring. Texas Tech has a great chance of overwhelming a pretty good Virginia team.
Tech has defeated some pretty good ball clubs: Michigan St (who had defeated Duke), Michigan (who took out my Gators this year) and #1 Gonzaga (a great offensive team).
Virginia has been a very solid team for the last two years as well - a #1 seed in both of the years. The Cavaliers have already had some redemption from being historically being upset by a 16 seed. The Cavs took out the SEC Tourney champions in Auburn and Big10 champs Purdue.
Somebody is going to be National Champions for the very first time - that will be an amazing feeling, trust me!
And Tennessee. Only dude from Fl in the starting 5 was our PG Green.
So you try to big time me on a city I lived in for 3 years and now you are trashing it. RollLaugh
I own you.
Yes. It makes me feel good that other teams that aren't caught up in all this FBI cheating are playing. Iowa guy has already admitted they cheat and pay players but luckily they suck at it. Still, it is nice to see other UNC-like programs winning instead of all these paid for dudes.
Yes. And the Big 10 owns the NCAA tourney and Iowa owns KU. Sure, lil guy. Suuuure.
this star thing is overblown. rivals has 1 guy for the entire midwest, they are going to miss some prospects.
Agreed. And I hope I am not coming across as disrespectful. TT has just done it unlike a normal model that most teams try to use.
I like it.
i didn't take it as such at all. Frankly, i've stopped following the recruiting aspect. A guy like Beard got 2 grad transfers in that fit our system like a glove in mooney and Owens. both are incredible defenders, mooney can really do it all though.
these recruiting "analysts" are just dipshits with a journalism degree, oh man what a wealth of basketball/football knowledge that journalism degree gives you. these analysts are just as well versed as the average fan, in a lot of cases less. I have no interest in what they rank players, any moron can look at zion and say "well he's 6'8 275lbs with a 45 inch vertical, looks like a 5star to me" no shit sherlock, after you get past those players the rankings are biased towards certain programs and a shit show. it's not worth following.
Totally agree. It's like us in football. We find guys for our system and make them pro caliber. Granted we haven't played for a title like you guys are. But we have packed the pros with what were deemed 1, 2, and 3 star guys.
I am interested to see how this changes defenses in the NCAA. there has to be more than 1 coach watching our defense and virginia's thinking "why not me". probably 80% of defense is just effort, that's an easy fix for a lot of down and out programs. you can't shoot lights out every night but you can defend at a high level every night if you and your team want to.
My original post from our home board-
Tonight’s title game features two teams vying for their first national championship, one that is known for underperforming in the tournament (Virginia) and another that no one would’veexpected to be here even a year ago (Texas Tech).
We were Virginia at one time and are currently Texas Tech. All you need is a good coach and a little bit (lot) of luck. I believe we have the coach in place.
If they can play for a national championship, why not us?
