I'm sure both of them are.Rutgers fans have to be miserable with this news.

..... Not sure if Garza would leave for the NBA or not, but had he had a good couple of games in the tournament to cap his stellar year, his stock would never be as high..... Hope he gets good feedback from the scouts and realizes he will never have a better chance to get to the NBA....
Could be, but all I know is that Iowa State remains The Defending Big 12 Tournament Men's Basketball Champions until at least this time next year.I fully expect KU to raise a "DE FACTO NATIONAL CHAMPIONS 2020" banner next November.
He doesn’t even have a draft status to increase at this point.If Lurch comes back because he likes college life, good for him. If he returns thinking he'll increase his draft status he's kidding himself.
Agree. The Iowa State women's basketball team.Not Iowa. Assuming Garza returns, they have everyone back to try again next year. My vote goes to the seniors on the Iowa State women's team.

It wont matter if he leaves this year or next because the NBA has evolved and post players like him are a thing of the past. If he is not a 1st rounder this year it won't matter what he will do next year as he still won't be a 1st rounder a year older.
They were probably a final 4 team at worst.
Ryan Kriener is already tweeting about Iowa claiming rights to the National Championship. This is hok logic to a T and you're right. This will go down in EIU record books as the season of what could have been, with "the best player in college basketball" and "a potential 1st round draft pick" and "the gritty, glue guy who also is good at sportsmanship". Good thing they'll all be back next year, I guess.That will be the narrative we hear for the next lifetime.
Yeah SDSU and Dayton will have an awfully hard time replicating this kind of success again, possibly ever. Seasons like the ones they have had don't even happen to non-blue blood P6 teams very often, let alone mid majors like them. That's where I feel bad about this. Baylor had a good season too, and while they will be good again in the future, I'm not sure they'll ever quite have all the breaks go their way in a season where there isn't a legit, sure fire top dog in cbb. I don't feel bad for Freddie Gillespie though.As others have written, teams like San Diego State and Dayton had historic seasons, the kind that don't come around very often for teams at that level.
In addition, I also feel bad for the low to mid major teams that had already won their conference tournaments to get the automatic bids, teams like East Tennessee State, Liberty, Boston University last night, even Bradley.
Man...just thought of this now...how much would it have sucked for this to have happened back in 2000 with the Marcus Fizer/Jamaal Tinsley team?

Here's for all my Iowa Hawkeye friends (actually it is for the trolls). At least you were spared one of these...Iowa. Best season in a while and nothing
