    Has it ever happened...?

      I don't know if a NC is realistic but a Valley team getting to the final four or elite eight isn't out of the realm of possibility. CU is at a bit of a disadvantage since they can only go after kids who will meet the eligibility requirements for a university like Creighton. That weeds the field down a bit. I still don't see Iowa as a premium job that would pry him away. But then again I was wrong about Mac...
      If computers ruled college basketball the way they do football, we'd have skipped all this March Madness monotony and just waited a month for the Kansas-Kentucky title game. And watched Northern Iowa play Cornell in the Poulan Weedeater Bowl. ~ Dwight Perry The Seattle Times

        I couldn't have said it better msyelf. I was thinking exactly that. But I also agree that it has to happen. No one thought that a Mid Major School could make the Final Four, then it happened, and now you hear everyone saying "Who is going to be this year's George Mason?"

        I think it would be an amazing accomplishment for a Valley Team to make it to the Final Four, and if they were to win one game in the Final Four then they WOULD be contending for a National Championship. After what Mason did last year I'm not so sure we aren't close to a mid major team making that far and why not have it be a team from the best "mid-major" conference in the country?

              George Mason in the final four is enough for me to believe it's possible.

                Actually it has in the Valley. See Larry Bird, Oscar Robinson, Drake in the Final Four, etc.

                  Thanks Trump! I was beginning to think people forgot about Larry the Legend. That was a little over 25 years ago.
                  The Lord reigns, let the earth be glad; let the distant shores rejoice, clouds and thick darkness surround Him; righteousness and justice are the foundation of His throne. Fire goes before Him, and consumes his foes on every side; His lightning lights up the world; the earth sees and trembles; the mountains melt like wax before the Lord of all the earth. The heavens proclaim His righteousness and all peoples will see His glory.

                      Good points....

                      I forgot about Larry and Magic show...over 25 years ago

                      I'm old enough, I'm guessing the majority of Panther Nation was not born yet...?

                        per the MVC website

                        Athletic accomplishments on the men’s athletics side include 10 national basketball championships, 16 trips to the NCAA Final Four

                          Recently, as in the past 25 years, it hasn't happened however. That's what people are getting at.

                            I'm in.

                            In my experience, most Iowa fans are (somewhat) patiently waiting for an idiot AD somewhere to take Alford off their hands. Gonna be damn tough to buy him out as long as the administration keeps giving him extensions. On the other hand, raising money for Carver improvements is going to be tough as long as Alford is there.

                            I think Dr. Tom is one of the all-time nice guys in sports, but both Lute and Ralph Miller were far better coaches.

                                If most Iowa fans are really (somewhat) patiently waiting for a idiot AD to take Alford off their hands - all they need to do is call 1-800-MNGophers
