Interesting Stat #2

[CyGuy33]

In Mac's two years at Iowa State only 7 of his total wins have come against teams that have finished the year with a winning record.

Uh oh, this looks very similar to posts I started posting and reading in the last 1.5 years of McCarney. Good stat though.

The key difference being time as a coach at Iowa State?

So you forget the success Dan had because he had been here for awhile, but you give GMac a break because he hasn't?

I do not forgive very large steps backwards after having success when nothing changes within the program except graduation. As of right now, I can't say that our basketball team has gotten significantly worse during his time here while having no explanation for it.

I would like to see how GMac handles graduation but we are a few years from that, I'm kidding I couldn't resist.

I understand what you're saying and you are right DMac did struggle towards the end and I do think Gene will get things straight.

In the past two seasons with McD at the helm, we've taken two top 10 teams to OT. Hey look, I can spin too.

EDIT: Sorry, I've gotten into such a sarcastic mood for the past day whenever I've visited these boards in the past 24 hours or so, for obvious reasons. ;)

This mystery coach's last and best three years at his previous school included the following records against teams that are at least semi-comparable to Big 12 competition and in one case a direct comparison.

Creighton 1-5
Southern Illinois 3-4
Bradley 2-4
Iowa State 1-2

Combined record 7-15.
