Was talking with a colleague about Iowa State recently

Obviously their initial success under Hoiberg could be chalked up to having a very good coach. They had a nice 3-year stretch under his successor, but bottomed out in year 4 going 2-22 and winless in conference. They fired their coach and brought back a former assistant, who's been there since.

Under said assistant, they've gone 124-52, winning at a greater clip than they did under Hoiberg, and at the highest clip in the history of the program.

I expect they're devoting greater resources to hoops than ND. Probably by a wide margin. But nothing they're doing seems impossible or out of reach.
