Outcome of this season. I'm not sure, so I'll leave it up to you experts.

20-1. Still would have lost to Campbell, but it would have been a lot closer.

I think it would be better than most people would imagine. I think record wise would be similar, maybe even a little better with Lick. He would have had a lot of time to figure things out, so I would hope so. I think you would see a more consistent team on defense. Offensively we wouldn't be able to do much at all. Our contests would be low scoring and boring.

Give Fran 2 more years and I think we have one of the top 3 teams in the big ten, which I don't think we would see with Lick, although I do question Fran's ability to create a Big Ten Championship Team with his style which I believe is for the most part ineffective and medieval for Division 1 basketball. The thing about Fran is that he can flat out recruit. I hope I am wrong, but I see an inconsistent program for however long Fran is here.

Odds are Gatens as well as others would not be here and would be replaced with more guys of Brommers talent. Nice try thou.

[atomicblue224]

if bic lighter was here he would have buried himself in his hand the whole game then after the game in interview he`ll throw everyone under the bus. misery loves company.

[jacknicholson]

Might still be looking for our first win of the season.....

[sioux34]

I'm not sure we could have fielded a team.

^ this

Although Iowa would probably be starting Larson & Brust. Gatens would probably be playing his senior year somewhere else.

[sioux34]

Little lick would be starting in front of Brust.

[HawkinGoferLand]

Would we have had any scholarship players left? We for sure would have lost the leading scorers the past two seasons.....

I think it would be worse than most people could imagine.

Gattens would not be here, few if any D1 caliber players period. Totally empty arena.

Starting lineup,

Cully Paine, Bust, Marble (if he hadn't transferred yet). May, Brommer/Archie.

zero big ten wins

Consistently bad? Our D was garbage when we had Lickliter. It just didn't seem as bad because we limited the other team's possessions by draining the shot clock on the offensive end.

[sportstalent]

Great topic, almost like if it was "What would our record be if Lute was still here?"

Time to let the past be the past when talking about former coaches and what kind of program we would be today with them. There are some topics that still amaze me that do get brought up in relation to the former coaches, like how many four year players Iowa has had in the last 15 years, it is alarmingly low. The Lickliter years are dead, some remnants remain, but not much longer as Iowa is a totaly different program today.

Fran is at Iowa and the future of Iowa basketball looks pretty darn good right now.

You must be Lick or a relative.

First Iowa wouldn't have 12 wins at this point because starting 5 walk ons and having 3 more walk ons coming off the bench doesn't equate to 12 wins.

And your second paragraph contradicts itself so bad it is humorous. Please tell me how his style is "ineffective and medieval". Are you saying most kids would rather play lick ball and score in the 40's and 50's instead of running up and down the court scoring in the 70's and 80's? And is high scoring games becoming medieval and college basketball is going back to the days of a peach basket when the scores were 18 to 12?
