Going to witness one of the bigger collapses in our lifetime. Going to go from a 3% chance of missing the tournament pre-Maryland to actually missing the tournament. Somewhere Fran is chuckling. Unbelievable.

There’s a reason no NCAA basketball team has gone undefeated since 1976.

Some nights you just don’t have it.

I know all fan bases tend to overreact to a win or loss, but Iowa fans seem to take it to the extreme. One bad loss, and it’s time to end the season before President’s Day.

Of course, one bad, ugly Iowa win, and Fred Hoiberg does the ultimate overreaction. Yikes.

His comment was straight sarcasm but it's not surprising that you missed it.
Not one word of that post was sarcastic. The fvvcker is a moron, incapable of sarcasm.

Easy to see you're not much in the intelligence department though, too.

As of tonight, 2/18, it looks like our NET ranking is 26. That is a historically good ranking for getting into the NCAA tournament. Given that we are late in the season I doubt it will change dramatically before tourney time. According to AI, teams in the 60s for NET ranking are on the bubble. (Not sure how much stock to put in that but you get the point.)

That said, we could face plant and lose the rest of the games (which I doubt), but I think we will get in. The question is what seed???

Here is link to NET rankings:

Yes, all fans do it. I used to check Purdue’s board once in a while. My God… every time they lose a game, some fans want the coach fired. I feel like Iowa fans on this board complain more about officiating than any other Iowa board I’ve been on. I feel the complaints mostly come from people who don’t understand basketball (per their other posts).

Why don’t you guys grow up? This constant need to bait, argue, and one-up each other isn’t productive, it’s immature. Take a step back for a second. Have you ever been wrong? Of course you have. In fact, most of us have been wrong far more often than we’ve been right.

Yet here you are, not to contribute anything meaningful, but to zero in on one person’s opinion just to score a point. That’s not insight, that’s ego. There is a large group of grown adults on here choosing to act like children. This forum is absolute garbage because of the constant childish behavior.

If I ever start a thread with a bold, smug, unambiguous, in-your-face inflammatory declaration that explicitly and confidently predicts the early failure/demise of an Iowa team -AND- that purposefully intentional public prediction fails spectacularly, I would absolutely expect to be called out, even derided…. and would disappointed if it did not happen.
