Iowa State seems to be a sexy pick to make the Sweet 16 here lately!
One game at a time, stay alive! |
Eamon Brennan was very complimentary to the Cyclones.
3. Iowa State coach Fred Hoiberg is really good at his job. There already have been plenty of reasons to think highly of Hoiberg in the three years since he took over at ISU: his ability to coalesce a roster full of transfers (and to take advantage of college basketball's highly active transfer market in the first place) into a real team; his ability to get complicated Royce White to put up the best year of basketball in his life; his highly impressive per-possession statistics, including post-timeout points per possession, a statistic in which his team led the nation in 2011-12. But if you weren't already impressed, Sunday should have helped you along. The Cyclones not only were one of the best 10 offensive teams in the country this season but also were one of the most entertaining, playing a five-out style that was as thrilling as it was effective. On Sunday, they took one of the best (and hottest) teams in the country to the wire, and had Craft not made the first 3 he attempted all game at the buzzer, they would have had a chance to win the game in overtime. The Cyclones are more than relevant again, and Hoiberg is very methodically -- and calmly -- making it so. |
Fred is going to be near the top of any school or NBA teams list looking for a coach. I feel safe knowing he took a major paycut to take his dream job at Iowa State! I'm also very happy that thanks to new Big12 media rights, we can give big raises to him and Rhoads if they want, but both have refused more money because at this point they want that money going to better facilities and assistants! Class acts and I love the direction Iowa State is heading!

You guys going to pursue Mike Dixon (have heard some rumors you are, but that may just be because of how transfer-friendly Hoiberg has been)?
