Men's basketball. How about since 2009?
30-11 Iowa over ISU.
I hate to admit it, but the more I think about it and having watched Fran's teams with casual interest over the past decade, I agree with you. I think that means Fran might be a decent coach...might be...from an x's and o's standpoint at least. His downfalls are recruiting, adapting/adjusting in-game, and of course his temper.I agree. Don't be fooled by any positive results, the primary reason they press is to take time off the shot clock to reduce the amount of time they have to defend in the half court where they will get exposed.
Secondly, the press can speed opponents up and bait them into quick shots with potential offensive rebounders out of position so they don't get exposed as much on the glass. It can also create extra possessions for Fran in that way.
Their press compensates for the athletic shortcomings of their largely mid-major-esque roster they trot out most years. They have used it many times throughout Fran's tenure, and to Fran's credit I think it's served its intended purpose more often than not.
Fran knows they aren't built to out-slug many high major teams possession for possession straight up. I think it's most effective when they couple it with a zone, particularly when they can shoot the 3 like they could last year.
You seriously keep track of that? It's sad.
Fran's focus of the ISU game has really paid off during Sweet 16 runs.
Two minutes I wouldn't spend.Took 2 minutes to look it up.

More of an athletic specimen for sure. Senior Aaron White probably a bit more polished as a player still. Doubt that part is true by Murray's senior year.Murray is a much better player than White.
That is truly incredible considering the entire Prohm tenure is within that time frame.7-5 in favor of ISU.
Iowa is 22-3 since September of 2015 against ISU in football (6-0), Men's Bball (4-2), Wrestling (7-0) and Women's Bball (5-1). That is a hell of a run that will probably never be duplicated again. Just wanted to post it one more time before the games this week since I have a feeling Iowa might lose both.

Your player evaluation skills are suspect......to put it mildly.Larry Nance is the perfect comp for Murray
Why do you say that? Iowa State added a great recruiting class and 3 very good transfers. It's not like we're bringing in the Murray twins and Bakari Evelyn here

Who would you compare Keegan to?Your player evaluation skills are suspect......to put it mildly.
Well, I wouldn't say two of those three are exactly tearing it up right now.Your player evaluation skills are suspect......to put it mildly.
Iowa fans were pissed Fran took them lolYour player evaluation skills are suspect......to put it mildly.
