I love college basketball.

“Did you hear that So and So pays his players?!”
“Yeah… Everyone knows that.”

“Did you see that WhatshisName is coming back?”
“Yeah… His uncles aunties cousins nephew said it on his podcast two weeks ago.”

“Did you hear Frederick is transferring to Kentucky?”
“Yeah… I literally told you about that 3 months ago. Everyone knew.”

I never know anything until it happens but it’s never a secret. :joy: :joy: :joy:

Tonight, in an all-new Bart Torvik RosterCast Theatre, we visit Iowa City and take a peek at what’s left for Fran & Co.:

Yikes.

Yikes is right. That Iowa team is going to have to get it done on defense which :laughing::laughing::laughing:

Few of the Iowa people in the thread on Reddit are saying stuff like “well at least our defense should be good” with Toussaint, Murray, Mccaffery, and Perkins. Oof, it’s gonna be bad for them.

Oh my gosh that’s hideous

I guess we’ll see how truly bad at defense Garza and Bohannon were

On a serious note, that roster does set up to be not bad defensively. And they better be because offensively they are going to take multiple steps back.

Wasn’t there talk of Bohannon coming back? Obviously would hurt them defensively but would be huge if he were to come back.

36% combined usage for the McCaffery Bros is a recipe for success.

If Patrick Mccaffery puts up a 113 ORTG on 86 Minutes% and 20+ Usage and Connor Mccaffery puts up 111 ORTG on 15% USG I will never post here again

Josh Langford is done playing basketball entirely. Will not pursue a pro career.

I’m out on Iowa officially. I need to focus all my UMhoops debate energy on promoting Frankie Collins and Kobe Bufkin as better players than Jacob Young for the foreseeable future.

Probably a good call. I mean, if that is their roster going into the season (can’t imagine Fran isn’t scrambling in the portal right now and maybe Bohannon/Wieskamp come back?) I have to imagine they are a bottom 4 team and playing in the Wednesday BTT game.

I would even go so far as to say that the only B1G team definitively worse than Iowa right now is Minnesota.

As per Hollywood screenwriters, the Iowa narrative is now set. They’re going to the FF next year thanks to a best-in-country defense.

If Harper doesn’t come back Rutgers will be pretty bad too. It is definitely going to be a down conference next year with several non-tournament quality teams.

NU? I feel they may compete.

is that Northwestern or Nebraska? Northwestern is running it back plus an excellent recruiting class. Should be much improved although their coach is still Bongos McGee.

Nebraska had a legitimately good defense by the end of the year and they add a five-star although I’m not too convinced of this version of Hoiberg.
