Iowa Hawkeyes Basketball Team season and History

The death of Iowa Basketball- Many will label this as the day we signed Steve Alford to coach the team. Think how positive Hawkeye basketball was back then?? During the Tom Davis era- Hawkeye nation complained about not being a top 3 team in the Big Ten and not being able to take that next step as a national Power or even worse, Not getting top Recruits from are own state. Hawkeye Nation, Stop and here me. WE HATED Tom Davis because we were and never would be a top team in the Big Ten? Today were the Bottom of the Big Ten.

Was it Steve's fault? I would say very much so however it didn't start from day one- Its started from the first day Pierre Pierce came to Iowa. Or did it start the year, that Hawkeyenation had dreams of a Big Ten title, Iowa forced new season ticket holder to donate to have the right to buy season tickets and they year was full of disappointment.


How about this? It might have started when 90% of Hawkeye Nation screamed for Tom Davis to be fired and we go after a young stud that can get us to the next level.

You can Blame 100 things, but it starts with Hawkeye Nation getting Tom Davis fired and then turning on Steve Alford for not being Tom Davis-
