Iowa had a great run stating with Lute Olson, George Raveling, and even Dr. Tom Davis. The high point was in the spring of 1987 when they had a high flying team(Roy Marble, BJ Armstrong,, Horton, Sir Jamalot Wright) with George's recruits, coached by Tom Davis. They had UNLV down by almost 20, Dr. Tom called off his trademark press, and they managed to piss away the game.
Indiana beat UNLV next, won Knight's last title and Iowa has been a much diminished program ever since in Basketball,. The positives were the very unsatisfying Alford era, and the round of 16 efforts Dr. Tom Davis produced most years, that got him fired.
I like the current coach Fran McCaffrey, but tonight was brutal, regardless of how good a program Fred has down in Ames.
