No, you said they haven't beaten a good team yet. That's false.

You also said they lost at home to Illinois "with" Murray like that was a game they easily should have won. I explained why Illinois is alot better than Iowa right now. They returned alot of talent from their #1 seed last year and were predicted to finish 3rd or 4th in the Big 10.
Iowa was predicted 9th or 10th.
I judge your statements about my statements to be idiotic.

Starting point guard and defending national player of the year fractured a part of the tibia/knee while playing with 40 seconds to go and up 18 points. Will miss 6-8 weeks
I feel bad for the player, but regardless of some tiny bump in a team's ratings, it isn't very smart for a coach to have his/her foot on the gas with all of the starters in in the last minute of a game up by almost 20. I have no sympathy for a little bit of bad luck for that program.

Lol, a road win at Virginia isn't good? Virginia will be an NCAA tourney team, guaranteed.

This....isn't aging well. They were also very lucky to beat a very bad Pitt team at home. Not really sure why you think they're good or WILL be good but they have a f*ck ton of improvement to make to SNIFF the tourney

Her injury was about as freaky as any injury could be, no one touched her, she made a move and her knee buckled. It could have happened in practice just as easily as in a game.
Hard to blame a coach for that type of injury, but many will say, she should have been on the bench with that big of lead. That is backseat driving, nothing more, nothing less.

She should have been. Yes it could have happened in practice, but it didn't.

Yep, saw that in replays and agree. Statistically, once a female starts having fractured bones, she is more likely to have recurrences. Recurrence in college athletes is 21%

Yeah, they only have 4 losses so far. They've beaten 3 Power 5 teams already also and will finish 5th-8th in the ACC, that will be good enough for the tourney.

Currently projected 15-15 (9-11) per Torvik, with only 1 win against a top 150 opponent, Providence.

Torvick doesn't mean much right now with such a small sample size. Winning at Virginia is about the same as winning at Creighton , both are solid resume building road wins.

Both teams lost alot of firepower from last year so getting them early was a huge plus. They will both improve as the year goes on.

People had no idea how improved Murray would be. Fran was insane to not get him on the court more with Weiskamp last year. He looks like an all American. I’d take him over Garza because he’s more versatile and can excel in any game and tempo.

Fran had all that talent, finished 4th in the Big 10 and bowed out the first weekend. He and Steve must be friends.
