I predict our draw will cause a meltdown on here no matter the opponents.

Have to remember that everyone is good in this tourney (almost everyone) and that we are who we are. Played great sometimes and played less than ideal at others.

I’m not being cocky, but I’m not scared of anyone. Toure takes out the best guard and no team will be prepared for our D. Just have to play D like our hair is on fire.

Fran leaves Iowa, makes the tournament. Make it not funny.

Any chance the Hawks play Penn?

Nope, they would have to meet in the Elite Eight.

Didn't they play a guy that helped murder someone two years ago? They will deliver his game gear to jail so he can get dressed on the way to the game.

What does it take to have someone bring up "lack of institutional control" or whatever the phrase is? Crazy how this and all the public Georgia arrests mean absolutely nothing. Doesn't even cover what gets hushed/unreported.

Sweet program you're running there, Oats.

Maybe that was part of the guy's NIL deal.

They’ll find a way to play him Thursday

That is because he is a legit good coach who was unable to ever recruit a P4 point guard. Iowa was correct to fire, Penn was correct to hire.

how does someone know everyone's NIL?

I'm guessing the word "estimated" is doing a lot of work there

More like he is a decent coach who overly relied on legacy recruits to build his team.

He’s actually a really good coach. His problem is he flat can’t recruit. How many times did he field an NCAA team, or borderline NCAA team, with a group of barely athletic dorky white kids?

Well he “recruited” 5-star player TJ Power (prev at Duke and Virginia) to Penn, who single handedly shot the Quakers to the upset of Yale and into the dance.

Pretty easy to sell a smart kid on an Ivy League education...
