@INKcredible5 @klseaboldt I’m not advocating one way or another. But in 4 seasons, Gates is 75-59 at Mizzou. In his first 4 seasons at Nebraska, Hoiberg went 40-83.

@HFryman @klseaboldt Right he’s still a way better coach than mizzou has at right now.

Since the beginning of the 2010-11 season, the Missouri Tigers are 1-8 in the NCAA Tournament. That’s tied with New Mexico State for the worst win percentage among schools with at least 9 games played. James Madison has more wins in that span. So does Middle Tennessee. And North Dakota State. Harvard and Yale each have more. Among 79 power conference schools, only five (Georgia, Mississippi State, SMU, Wake Forest, and Georgia Tech) have fewer. Nebraska didn’t have a win when this tournament began. They now have more than Missouri in that span.

@INKcredible5 @klseaboldt lol. Hoiberg is in his 7th season in Nebraska. This was not immediate success

@klseaboldt Well Nebraska has a stud head coach that was born and raised in their state. I like gates a lot but as of right now him and hoiberg are not that same level. So many ppl in the fanbase are saying they want to get a new coach I don’t get that why would you want to start over again

@nate_macdog @skinnymac__ @Stubbone124196 @HawkeyeBBFan There is probably some truth to that. Fran’s daughter in law (Caitlin) is part of his demise. But two years removed from the program, the Iowa women continue to sell out every home game. And men’s attendance in McCollum’s 1st year was up 20% this season. Highest since 2022-23

@HFryman @skinnymac__ @Stubbone124196 @HawkeyeBBFan I guarantee 75% of the declining attendance was directly related to fan cannabalization with Caitlin Clark and the women's team

Who does Wisconsin play today?

@KingJHip @Anchordown0714 Didn’t the most boring team hang 40 on Nebraska?

@Anchordown0714 Wait, this seems familiar... Scanning... Scanning... Comparison found: 2025 Vandy football. The 2025 Vanderbilt football team will be remembered for having an annoying hobbit, with a skank mother, at QB and for losing their bowl to the most boring team in the B1G, Iowa. #GBMFR

I absolutely see why Big 10 fans rip on Nebraska fans so much. They’re legitimately insufferable after an iota of success

@nate_macdog @skinnymac__ @Stubbone124196 @HawkeyeBBFan Wrong. He’d calmed down a lot in the last couple years. He was fired because of fan apathy, 4 straight seasons of regression, and declining attendance. People were done investing in the program with him.

@HFryman @skinnymac__ @Stubbone124196 @HawkeyeBBFan Fran McCaffrey was fired because of his on the court antics

@5xchampion5x @payton_20_ You want the team Nebraska lost to?

@payton_20_ We want the lower quality team 🐤

Gimme Iowa Nebraska and let’s ride. Let’s go Hawks

@skinnymac__ @Stubbone124196 @HawkeyeBBFan Iowa made tournament in 2014 and lost in first 4, and then made the round of 32 in 2015 and 2016 as 7 seed

@skinnymac__ @Stubbone124196 @HawkeyeBBFan Iowa made the tournament in 2019 as 10 seed and took 2 Tennessee to OT in round of 32, 2020 was canceled, made it in 21 as 2 seed, 22 as 5 seed, and 23 as 8 seed. Missed tournament in 17, 18, 24, and fired in 25.

@skinnymac__ @Stubbone124196 @HawkeyeBBFan Actually that’s nearly the same tournament success over the same timeframe. Over the last 9 seasons, Gard has won 3 games. Over the last 9 years of McCaffrey’s tenure at Iowa they won 2 tournament games. Gard has been awful in the tournament after Bo’s players graduated

@HFryman @Stubbone124196 @HawkeyeBBFan Not even remotely close to the same thing

@skinnymac__ @Stubbone124196 @HawkeyeBBFan Gard has won 3 tournament games in the last 9 years. That’s on par with *checks notes* Fran McCaffrey before he got fired.

@Stubbone124196 @HawkeyeBBFan You say that, but their NIL is the $3M+

@skinnymac__ @HawkeyeBBFan Calm down Kamala

@HawkeyeBBFan I know you just started watching basketball this year like 95% of Iowa fans but it’s March…shit happens. Not everyone gets matched up against a floundering 8 seed who just lost one of their best players

@DohnJaly @joe_deering123 @robbiestacks90 @theblockspot He’s won 3 games in the last 9 years. Thats on pair with *checks notes* Fran McCaffrey before he got fired

@HFryman @joe_deering123 @robbiestacks90 @theblockspot Winning games in the tournament isn’t easy🤷‍♂️

Illinois won by 35. Purdue won by 33. Nebraska won by 29. Michigan State won by 25. Michigan won by 21. Iowa won by 6. UCLA won by 4. But Wisconsin lost to High Point.

@DohnJaly @joe_deering123 @robbiestacks90 @theblockspot I understand. Izzo isn’t guaranteed to go on a run. But history suggests he’s very capable. Gard hasn’t gone past first weekend since the year after Bo Ryan retired even though Wisconsin has finished top 5 in BIG 5 times since then.

@HFryman @joe_deering123 @robbiestacks90 @theblockspot Yes. That doesn’t negate what I said, lol. You don’t know he’ll go on a run. He could! But he could also lose today. I say that as someone who will be rooting for him now that my badgers are toast.

@bradenfragerfan @analyst4sports_ We did.

@analyst4sports_ Worry about beating Clemson first buddy

Based on how games have gone today I fully believe Iowa can beat Florida because it’s March Madness and why tf not

@DohnJaly @joe_deering123 @robbiestacks90 @theblockspot In the time since Gard has been the Wisconsin head coach, he has won 7 tournament games. In that same time span, Izzo has won 14.

@HFryman @joe_deering123 @robbiestacks90 @theblockspot You actually don’t know Izzo will make a run. It’s certainly possible, but Tom isn’t immune to losing in the second round and even lost to a 15-seed several years ago in the 1st. I say that as someone who will be rooting for him and the Spartans now that my badgers are toast.

@joe_deering123 @robbiestacks90 @theblockspot If you win conference regular season title or conference tournament title then that helps, but winning some games with no postseason success creates a sense of glass ceiling and fan apathy. MSU hasn’t won the conference in years but you know Izzo will go on a run in NCAAT

@HFryman @robbiestacks90 @theblockspot I don’t think that’s fair man. It sucks to lose in the first round but 32 other teams also lost as well. It’s hard to win in a one game tourney where the better team doesn’t always win

@joe_deering123 @robbiestacks90 @theblockspot Losing to a mid major in the first round negates anything that happened in the regular season.

@robbiestacks90 @theblockspot I don’t think beating Michigan Illinois twice MSU and Purdue on the road makes us one of the worst major conference teams ever lmao

@AndrewCulver16 @chrise1979 @tory4heisman Ok Kamala.

@chrise1979 @tory4heisman Really dont give af

Brotha they beat TROY 😭😭😭

@JoshOBurner Ben McCollum with as many tournament wins in his first season at Iowa as Nebraska has in its history

Clemson more like Clemshit

@skinnymac__ @tory4heisman @HawkGuyEnjoyer @HawkeyeBBFan @analyst4sports_ Iowa won in the NCAAT and Wisconsin didn’t

Smoking on that Hawkeye pack!!!! @tory4heisman @HawkGuyEnjoyer @HawkeyeBBFan @analyst4sports_
