Is Iowa in the NCAA tourney now?........
"NOW"?

Yes.....If today, a lock. But its not today.

BUT-----3 of your last 4 are on the road....Although, one of those is Nebby. ANd NW at home(dangerous).....Then @ Michigan, @ Illinois...

2-2 at worse, and you are in.........But go 1-3? WIth that OOC schedule? It could get dicey...
 
The pay-walled homeboard has a thread asking if tonight proves Keegan Murray isn't ready for the draft and if he should come back for another year of development.


This is the actual post from after Keegan put up 23 and 7 against Michigan Thursday:

Will return to Iowa city next year. He looks great and hawks win vs soft competition but lose against the better teams. Another year here may help him.

Since that post:

24 (10/17 FGs, 0 turnovers) and 5 against OSU

28 (10/15 FGs, 0 turnovers) and 5 against MSU


I kinda wanna troll about not getting enough rebounds but I outed myself already as a fan in that thread.
 
Wasn't that long ago you guys were just like us-----but worse. I get it now---times have changed. But up until last year, you guys missed the NCAAT 8 straight seasons....
We both know we would have been anywhere from a 4- to a 6-seed in 2020 with no NCAA cancellation; we finished ranked #21. If your point is (late) Weber and Groce were historical anomalies for Illini basketball with how bad they were and it took Underwood until year 3 to build us into a relevant program, then … agreed.

.500 in Big Ten play post Cassius and it’s going to get worse.

There are a lot of issues right now that start from the top down. Our seniors are not leaders or very good for that matter. So so so many recruiting swings and misses. And recruiting ain’t looking better. MSU literally is only recruiting 1 other guy for the 23’ class that might not come here and has seemed to utterly quit recruiting highly ranked kids. Player development, rotations, everything just awful.

Our freshman who’s a football player and walks on the basketball team outscored our senior captain today lol.

The number 1 issue with this team is they lack mental toughness IMO. No leaders, no one to weather the storm, just a bunch of dudes who don’t really care all that much.

Just take your heads out of your asses for the next two games.

That’s a good summary.
