When I was a kid it was normal and I took it for granted. When I was in my early 20s, we made a sweet 16 and I got it. And it was a blast, even though we lost to eventual champs Unconn in a tough game.
I’m 42. My first memories are the flyin illini. The late 90’s until 2006 were great. I thought that was what it was always going to be like. Then Weber buried the program and Groce dug us up and lit us on fire.

Yep. Same era. Alford and Lickliter burned our house to the ground. And Fran is pissing on the ashes, even though he gets us to the tourney. But under him, we won't get past the first weekend. We have topped out under him. Kinda like Weber and Illinois after that awesome run in 05. But Illinois had some good runs under Self, Henson, and Weber. I wish we did

Kruger often gets forgotten as well. Very good hard nosed teams.

Boo ****ing hoo you pussy.
 
Rutgers has some really good wins, and some horrible losses.

Hard to figure them out
 
Rutgers is so stupid. They lost 4 non conference games. Dummies. You load up on cupcakes and just win at home in conference and the places you are suppose to.

Let the other Big 10 teams do the heavy lifting. Like Iowa is doing.

My first year as a student at Iowa was Todd Lickliter's first year as a coach at Iowa. I think Fran McCaffery deserves a statue in Des Moines.
 
I just want one fvcking good run. I would shit myself for a two weekend run. Basically a sweet 16 or elite 8.

God that would be fun.
2019 was fun, even though we lost in OT and didn't make the FF, it's still exciting making it to the elite eight. Everyone should experience that ride at least once in their lifetime, even Iowa fans ;)
 
Tons of good wins though
Yeah----They do have 4, Quad 1 wins----but man, those losses....At 14-9, 8-5, they have very little wiggle room. And their remaining schedule is brutal...

@ Wisconsin
Vs Illinois
@ Purdue
@ Michigan
Vs Wisconsin
@ Indiana

Vs PSU

Have to win out at home, and probably need to win one of @ Wisky, @ Purdue, @ Indiana....

That IU game could possibly be a play-in game...

Not sure 17-13, 11-9,with those losses, gets them in....But the bubble is week AF...
