Graham Couch: Iowa Basketball is a mid-major roster

[HawkJRP]

I actually posted this in the basketball forum and got hammered with the disagree button

Posted what?

You thought ISU was an NCAA tourney team this season.

Thats nice. You should ask him about it. My first post on this topic today was talking about having to watch meaningless basketball for over 2 months.

Iowa didnt play a meaningless game in 2016-2017 until the NIT first round.

You probably predicted that the NIT was going to happen if you predicted Uthoff's finale.

In hindsight those were huge losses. Still thought ISU would be better than this....there's some talent on the roster. Time to turn things around but the margin for error is pretty slim. Probably need to win out at home....

Also lost Lard, who could have been a really good player but reminds me a lot Laron Dendy mentally.

Winning out at home doesn't happen IMO. I still think there's at least 2 more losses.

Yep, once Bolton was cleared to play, CyTwins thought ISU would be dancing.

OsU and KSU are winnable road games. ISU's NET is still decent.....what 2 losses do you see at Home? Baylor and TT?

I was actually pleasantly surprised by being on the bubble that season.

Agree on all.

I said nobody saw this season turning out like this and everyone disagreed with me

What do you think has to change scheme or rotation wise for things to get turned around?

Probably a new coach

Prohm went from the Penthouse to the Outhouse very quick.

Florida A&M and a blowout home loss to Kansas will do that to ya

I sure hope it doesnt come to that.

Iowa was one of the first four teams out from the tourney in 2016-2017. They played meaningful games all the way down the stretch until their first NIT game.

They were also one of the first four teams we laughed at that year.

I watched ISU for the first time in a long time this past Saturday. Wow have they really fallen off. They didn't seem like they cared a whole lot and had no cohesiveness. Seemed like one guy would dribble the ball for 20 some seconds and then drive or hoist a shot. Saw Bolton dribble for the entire shot clock and then dribble the ball off his leg for a turnover.

There were a lot of people that could see things were on shaky ground with Prohm well before this year. Some others it just didn’t hit them till just 3 weeks ago and were in denial.

You will always have that from 3 years ago.

Something tells me that the blowout home loss to the Hawks might have ignited the fire.

You will always have that from 3 years ago.

And we will always have Florida A & M!

It did. It was completely embarrassing and alarming.
