Which way do you prefer? Prohms way doesn't seem to be working. Maybe at some point he catches lightning in a bottle and has an elite 8 team or something but that's a lot of losing in between.
LOL. Fran is closing in on 25 years as a D1 head coach without seeing the second weekend.

Your thoughts on both teams records before conference tourneys and then how each team does in the conference tournaments?
Without looking at the schedule I would guess Hawks around 23-8. Finish 3rd or 4th regular season get double bye in the BTT, win on Friday over Rutgers lose on Saturday to Mich St. Clones are tougher to gauge with wildcard being who comes in. I'll say 16-15. 7 seed. Win 1st game over KSU then lose to West Virginia/Baylor.

I can see Hawks having a similar season to last year. I have them 20-11 and one game win in BTT then losing second game.

I agree ISU is harder to gauge. I will give them one more win than you and go 17-14 then prohm saves himself by making it to the B12 championship game but loses a close one.

I can see both. I'm not overly confident in Fran handling rotation and a deeper bench. On paper the Hawks should be better but who knows. I don't think the BIG 10 is as good overall next year so they could benefit from that. Clones may rally around Prohm knowing he's probably coaching for his job. I honestly don't know much about how the rest of the Big 12 shapes up for next season.
