Iowa is a very good team, and has the potential to be a great team. Fran needs to learn to control his temper, and personally, I think he needs to use a smaller rotation, and take a look at his starting line-up, but that may be only my opinion.
I don't think most ISU fans have any problem with the Iowa team......it's the Iowa fans we can't handle. I've never had a Scout or Rivals membership, but even without that it is still possible to read some other school's boards, including Iowa's. I go there sometimes for laughs, although if you do have memberships with Rivals or Scout I suggest you not visit those boards, because the urge to respond to the idiocy there might be over-whelming for you. They like to claim we have this "little brother" syndrome, yet if you go over to HR most any time, you will see at least 4 or 5 threads about ISU on their main basketball board. Most of course is about how they did not lose the game, Iowa is really the better team, ISU's day is coming when they start to play more on the road, and boy.....would they like a re-match on a neutral court. It is truly funny how so self-righteous and entitled they think they and their teams have become. It is good for a laugh if nothing else.
So again, Iowa is a good basketball team, and they may get better. Their fan base, on the other hand is pretty much delusional, and there probably is no cure for them. At least I have never seen it as long as I have been alive, and that is longer than most of you reading this.
