Disagree. It’s the most importantthing, but not the only thing that matters.
Ok, I’ll throw in a few more metrics to compare the 3 programs.
Since 1990 (I’ll use 30 years, since thats what the poster alluded to):
ISU: 3 Sweet 16’s. 1 Elite 8. 15 NCAA appearances. 6 Conf Tourney Championships. 2 Reg season Championships. 16 NBA Draft Picks.
Creighton: 0 Sweet 16’s. 0 Elite 8’s. 13 NCAA appearances. 9 Conf Tourney Champs. 5 Reg Season Championships. 6 NBA Draft Picks.
Iowa: 1 Sweet 16. 0 Elite 8’s. 13 NCAA appearances. 2 Conf Tourney Championships. 0 Reg Season Championships. 9 NBA Draft Picks.
And while we’re at it, I’ll add their head to head matchups since 1990.
ISU leads Iowa 16-15
ISU leads Creighton 6-1
So back to my original point, in the last 30 years, ISU is above Iowa and Creighton in basketball. And in some cases, its not even close.
