Zero problem with her doing it earlier.. Caitlin does her share of talking.. it got creepy when she spent her celebration time following the best player in the sport.. weird
Hot take.. Conference Tournament week heading into selection Sunday is second only to the Thursday-Sunday of the first week of the dance. I like it way more than S16/E8 weekend.. not even close actually.

“If you look a ground video of it, you might say this doesn’t look like much of a wave,” Carollo said. “But if you look at the high (camera view) over the top, he’s actually waving.”
I’m sorry is the game not played on the ground?
Iowa’s SOR is now better than Villanova, Colorado, Wake Forest, St. John’s, Kansas State, New Mexico, and Utah.
Only bubble team ahead of them? Seton Hall who Iowa beat on a neutral floor..

This judges teams based off 3 critical criteria that judges if they should make the NCAA tornament (tournament)
- distance from nearest Cheesecake Factory
- has Fred Hoiberg every stepped on campus?
- have they watched and learned?
Just embarrassing. Iowa has LITERALLY the dumbest basketball fan base out there. The core are very good and knowledgeable but the idiots seem to outnumber them 5:1.
Here’s important bubble stuff.
Colorado and Utah cannot both win two conference tournament games
St. John’s and Seton Hall cannot both win a conference tournament game
Pitt and Wake Forest cannot both win two conference tournament games
Bunch of frauds.. they’ll literally tweet anything that hits their inbox!! Made up a completely unreasonable story with zero verification and they tweeted it out.

When did she do it? Please show me where she went after anyone doing that? Right in there face following them around the floor.. where?
Here’s what I know. If Fran made a sweet 16 this year, 95% of the people bitching would still bitch that it wasn’t a final four. Absolute clown show for a chunk of the fan base. And no, I’m not saying we can’t hope for more. Of course we can.
Here’s the cycle we’re in for if something doesn’t change with MBB money.
Fran brings in under recruited talent, develops them to a point where they are worth more than we can afford, they bounce (and to no fault of them). Constantly stuck in the middle with people leaving when
It’s totally fine if you don’t like Caitlin but these 🔥 takes about her not being the best player on the floor or left in the tournament need to stop. You’re making yourselves look stupid.

Credit for being honest and not trying a bullshit half ass apology. I disagree with probably everything you agree with but the approach is honest and refreshing. We all mess up.
I guess it comes down to this. If you can’t buy guys you need an insanely good coach for player development. That’s what Fran is. It’s ok to be frustrated by certain results but look at things from a lens of 2-3 years at a time.
The commissioner of the SEC (whose teams are 0-3) wants to expand this tournament and REMOVE these smaller teams. Oakland is the exact type of team he wants to remove from the tournament to add a 16-15 LSU.
This is straight from his mouth. I hope everyone is paying attention.
Iowa up 3 spots (60 -> 57) after a quad 1 road win against a team that had not lost a home conference game.
Drake up 4 spots (52 -> 48) after (checks notes) not playing yesterday.
If Iowa wins the last two they should be in great shape for what historically constitutes an NCAA berth.
5 Quad 1 wins
Top 12 SOS, top 100 NCSOS
Top 45 SOR
Above .500 Q1-Q3
6 wins against the field
4 road wins (2 Quad 1)
NET 50-55 range
10-11 Q1/Q2

has been saying all week Iowa will have to beat Illinois to get to the 💃.. whether it’s tomorrow or whether it’s winning one in the BTT then playing them in the quarters.
