I guess there's a first time for everything.

No one expected Iowa to be tied for 4th in the conference, and I don't think doing so really changed anyone's mind about how good they were. I think it's funny about how after not expecting this team to do much, people are all over Alford for not making the tournament. I was on the Alford bandwagon when they hired him, but have grown less and less enamored. His post season record is even worse than his conference record, though.
