Some coaches try to get their teams to peak for conference and post season play, others focus on non conference games and fade when it really counts
Tough day for EIU hoops hopes

All coaches do the former. They do not try to have their teams only play well in the non-con and then not care about the conference games. That's ridiculous. In both CBB and CFB, losing a non-con game could be the difference between making the tournament, a bowl game, the CFP, etc. Every game is important.
I mean the Fran fade is real
Iowa has important football players that would rather beat Iowa State once than Wisconsin four times
I do agree with you it's ridiculous but that's just how they do things over there
The Fran fade is real, but it's real not because his teams do overly well in the non-con and then tank in the conference season. That nickname is due to his teams bowing out the last bit of the season, which throws his team's seeding in tournaments out of whack, which then hurts his teams chances of moving on deeper than they have.
Look up the word failure in the dictionary and it uses Gary Barta as an example. But you guys just continue to drink the squid ink and urine colored Kool-Aid.
Yes and they do better usually in January and February than they do in March too. They (usually) fall apart in March
Niang looks forward to the Iowa vs ISU game more than any other player I can think of.
He's got you guys right where he wants you. Bohannon tries so hard to be like him too without all that talent
1- Murray twins
2- Fran made a DVD on defense, offense shouldn't be an issue
3- JBo has had a miracle before (not my words-USA Today) against powerhouse Rutgers
I think that was Northwestern. Rutgers was when JW banked a corner three in to win.
Time will tell. I'll believe Iowa will make a Sweet 16 when they do it, no different than I'll believe Iowa State will make the Elite 8 when I see it. I don't remember the last one. Lol
Neither of our transfers are eligible, therefore, that's not a surprise at all.
Andrew Downs is on sports fanatics right now and the hype train for Iowa bball is full speed ahead. It's time to win a natty! This storied program is thiiiirsty
Ooooh. I hope the Hawkeye Express in Coralville has room and a stop off at Carver.
