Yep, concerning.

It should be. Defense travels. Offense not so much. I think that explains Fran's tournament difficulties as much as anything.

Iowa played ok on D last night. Missed endless shots definitely an Achilles heel.

But that's the problem. Iowa HAS to shoot well to beat good teams. Iowa shoots very well at home. Iowa shoots very poorly away from home.

It doesn’t have to be mutually exclusive. Iowa lost because of poor shooting tonight. Fran also didn’t deserve to get tossed over that call. Teeing him up for being out of the box by a couple steps when coaches are in the court all the damn time (pet peeve of mine) is incredibly weak.

I can't believe there are so many morans on here that think he got T'd up solely for being out of the box.

It was magic words and honestly Fran's shared history with that ref crew. It wasn't coaches box because Szelc physically moved a NW assistant coach from outside the coaches box back to his seat during play in the second half.

If only Iowa had at least 3 Tony Perkins, they might have had a shot tonight.

Tony is the ONLY one with a consistent driving and/or drive-stop-pull up J midrange game.

Everyone else is either horribly inconsistent at it or can't do it period.

Ulis looked like he could do it in one or two games, but he's disappeared again.

IOWA did have Perkins,
Fran sat in for the last 12 minutes of the 1st half, threw away the key to the 2 foul jail cell.

perkins was so valuable he played all 20 minutes in 2nd half scoring 11 in 2nd half.

perkins ended game with 3 fouls and was never in danger of losing minutes to disqualification, only in lost minutes owing to 2 fouls jail sentence, with no chance of probation.

consistent? um no. pull up game yes.

Or you could get another Lute or Hayden.

Hall of Fame coaches don’t grow on trees. It’s more likely we end up with another Lickliter than another Lute.
