Iowa is going to be pretty bad again next season, so I’m not sure it really matters.

Not wanting to argue, but they had a winning record, beat a ranked Wisconsin team, and won an NIT game. 10 - 10 in conference. That probably tops what about 200 other teams did. For being in a conference that is all about football, they had a respectable season, all things considered. Just another way of looking at it.

I don’t see what they have done to continue to be a middling team for 24- 25.

Agreed, next year looks fairly bleak right now. I was only saying last year wasn't horrible, considering they were a top 100 team out of over 300 teams.

Pretty favorable schedule draw for Iowa. The 3 teams they play twice are projected bubble teams. Home draw includes a couple cupcakes (Minnesota and Penn State). Road slate is pretty difficult... The "worst" team on paper is Illinois who is definitely not done in the portal.

That seems purposeful. Need to get those bubble teams an extra win for that resume.

Real scheduling gauntlet they got in league play.

Double plays are Northwestern, Wisconsin and Nebraska.

ISU Double plays will probably be Houston, Kansas and Arizona or Baylor. Seems like a push with Iowa's double plays...

Oof! Glad ISU doesn't have to face that... We're lucky to be in the pillow soft Big 12.

Why does every Iowa player look like they get haircuts from their mom?

Like last of all high major schools, or last out of all of D1? Surely they aren't THAT bad.

Last in the big 10. It was in the context of their big 10 schedule.
EDIT: Iowa IS last of all that 247 ranks in D1. 0 points.

I hope that’s their ceiling for the foreseeable future.

At least they are doing it the right way. A real shining beacon of virtue they are over there. Some things are more important than winning games.

He's giving kids from the mean streets of Waukee and Moline a chance at a free education despite their mediocre athleticism and basketball abilities.

And they get to do it front of tens of fans that even occasionally show up in person despite the outrageous 18 dollar ticket prices and their general indifference to the game of basketball itself.

Yep, racism and homosexuality lawsuits/settlements and all. The model of success really.

Racism at the University of Iowa is what's referred to as "the Iowa way".

We won’t get doubles against all of those teams.
