Not really. If that's his opinion, fine. Obviously how a fanbase "feels" about a game has no bearing on the outcome.
To be honest, I "felt" based off of Iowa's performance the entire season, that they were going to lose to Virginia or Maryland. So I'm significantly less angry after this game than I have been in the past. Just disappointed that it wasn't as good of a game as I was hoping for.
Here come the excuses and close loss bullcrap. You just plain got beat in every aspect of the game tonight. You bring back a lot of your team, but their is a difference between a LOT of players and talent.
If Iowa is a dark horse Big Ten title team next year, better hope Northwestern is on the schedule 5 or 6 times. Oh yeah, and make sure Nebraska isn't on it.
Hey, Drew actually out coached someone! The talent gap was pretty crazy out there, and Baylor's guards were so much quicker. I know we made him look foolish both times we played him, but I can definitely see the potential Austin has. Hope he declares for the draft.
Actually, all stats were even except for one - FG%. Now, you could tell me that was because of Baylor's defense, but Iowa has done this in more than a few games this year. Also, Baylor's defense isn't that good. Iowa didn't play a great game tonight. Like I said, it happens. Baylor was definitely better tonight.
Cmon don't take the high road now. Baylor was not very good in the big 12 and the almighty big 10 was so good Iowa would be second or first in the conference. They got it handed to them from Baylor. Can't feel good.
So its safe to say that Iowa is can be no better than the 70th best team in the nation.
Mad Fran didn't look too happy to have the exchange with Scott Drew at the end of the game. Not easy being the first coach to get out-coached by Drew.
You're right. Talent gap of the 6th best Big 12 team was just too much for next year's dark horse Big Ten champs.
I'll say the NIT is worthless...unless you have a young team and need the experience. UI does, so they have a right to be excited. I know ISU fans were when we went to NYC for the nit. That said, they should have just enjoyed the ride. Anyone trying to rub in the NIT is an idiot. BTW, Iowa is lucky they got average Pierre Jackson and not throw up running jumper at 90mph and have it hit nothing but net Pierre Jackson. That guy could get on a roll like no other.
