I want to retract my statement. After seeing some of the Iowa game on ESPNU last night, Iowa fans should be downright embarrassed about their basketball attendance. I think ISU Volleyball attendance is outdrawing Iowa's Men's Basketball.[/QUOTE]
Ok- we are all embarrassed about the attendance thing, but a bigger concern is how embarrassed we are of our basketball program. Which, when you think about it, kind of helps explain the that whole attendance issue.
You guys seem to act as though we have a Final Four caliber team and we are just not showing up to support them. Seriously, we may be lucky to win 5 or 6 games this year. Who really wants to go watch bad college basketball being played in a really boring style of play when we are still in the home stretch of a fantastic football season?
A little perspective please.
Honestly, I think 5-8 wins is about right for that team. I don't mean it as an insult, because I really have enjoyed Iowa basketball for a long, long time. I really would prefer that it hadn't come to this death march of a season.
Starting 0-2, though, against UTSA and Duquesne, that's ugly. Texas on the horizon, that's beyond brutal for this bunch.
