I can't imagine this pace is good for Iowa. While Garza does like to run the court, this up and down pace is going to force him to sit more. When he's on the bench, this Iowa team struggles.
Fun Iowa Hawkeye Tournament Fact:
Iowa has lost 10 of their last 11 Round of 32 games.
Crazy to only have played 2 games. I wonder how many we've had. We've had at least 2 against just UCLA I know from memory.
I don’t get all the hate on Pat Mccafrey. I think he’ll be a solid player for iowa
Even more fun Iowa Hawkeye Fun Fact Corollary: Fran McCaffery is 0-5 in Round of 32 games (0-2 with Siena, 0-3 with Iowa). He is tied with Pete Carril (Princeton) for the worst record in the Round of 32. A loss today would give McCaffery the worst Round of 32 record in tournament history.
Oregon FLYING up the court on turnovers. Really pushing the pace. They don't get back on D though.
It really meshes with his rep for being good enough to not get fired, but not good enough to really get any hardware or serious success.
It's ironic that Dr Tom's rap was that he always won the first round but never won the second round...well he must have won at least a game or two in the second round. Dr Tom's first round record was pretty ridiculous.
Dr. Tom's record by Round:
First Round: 11-0
Second Round : 5-6
Sweet Sixteen: 2-3
Elite Eight: 0-2
Hey maybe Fran can coach. Just been saving Touissant for this. He realized right away that Jorbo has no business being out here today. Damn you for being smart today Fran. Go back to Jorbo.
I knew it was good because I grew up an Iowa fan but 11-0 is nuts. That's too good to be all luck or good seeds.
Where do you get your #s? Amazing how fast you have these.
If Oregon can keep this close to end the first half I like their chances in the 2nd half as Iowa is only on one day rest
I put together a database of the NCAA Tournament. A lot of this you can figure out by running drilldowns on my website: www.hoopstournament.net.
For this question, I used the following page: http://hoopstournament.net/DynamicDrilldown.php
I also have drilldowns by team at: http://hoopstournament.net/Team_Drilldowns.php
For more complicated questions, I have to go back to the database and run queries.
Fun Iowa Hawkeye Tournament Fact #2:
Iowa is tied for the most losses in tournament games played in Indiana with 4. They are 1-4 in Indiana.
When teams run at this pace it is.There's no way that could ever be an excuse. Surely not.
