I mean seriously Fran, what do think you're really gonna do?
Very tired of his act.
Very tired of his act.
Fran and his menacing grimace towards the refs as he was being held back by the assistants.
- Thread starter NorthernHawkeye
- Start date
He kind of looks like Burgess Meredith with that confused look.
your welcome to stop watching, i am tired of one sided BS refing in the Big ten makes the league look like shit in post season
I doubt he believes that but the officiating was pretty shitty.
They showed a lot of fight down 2 starters with trash officiating and a player who can't throw it in the ocean
Fran cost Iowa a W.
Eat shit. Wisconsin is by far the dirtiest program in the conference. So many of you guys used to complain about Izzo and Sparty but it’s not even close. They foul every possession. Kudos to them in OT for hitting some huge shots however.
Iowa shot more free throws. By far if you take Into account the Hawks fouling at the end
I don't think it is an act. He loses his cool. Iowa lost because they don't have much post scoring and that is something Fran needed to fix on recruiting trail/portal.
You do realize we were missing an all conference player and our starting pt guard? But carry on brother.
Wisconsin is fuggin terrible.
Yeah had Kansas beat and some good wins someone doesn't know what their talking about.
Man I love you blackngold but cmon. We’re missing 2 starters, one possibly the best player in the league and playing at home while Wiscy is literally fouling on every possession and you’re blaming Fran?
He had to get his money's worth of that T. Don't think he said much as our team was getting bent over by another sh*t officiating crew from the B1G
Thursday fouls we're called on that sh*t that Wisconsin was doing tonight

Honestly didn’t mind the T tonight. THe way he acted after/during looked borderline psychotic but it felt like we weren’t getting any calls.
I admit, I laughed at Fran's f***ing ridiculous act after the T.
A little tired of the whining that bleeds into how the team reacts to everything now as well, even if the officiating wasn't good.

At one point in the first half, Wisconsin had shot 1 FT despite having scored something like 30 of their 35 points in the paint, and also had 4 players with 2 fouls, and Fran was furious.
Same - It's not going to change so better get use to it
It's really surprising the refs didn't eject Fran and give the Badgers an extra 2 free throws. He probable deserved to be ejected....
For getting a technical late in the game that cost Iowa 2 points? Yes.
Pissconsin is not a good basketball team. Yes, Iowa probably wins if Kris is healthy, but the point still stands.
Honestly, I don’t have high expectations for this Iowa team, so losing a conference game in December isn’t that big of a deal. Iowa will likely squeak into the tournament and be done after the first or second game.
It’s going to be BAU. And I think that’s what it’s always going to be under Fran. Sure, it could be worse, but I’ve accepted this is what Iowa basketball is. Everyone is petrified of change, including Barta, so it is what it is.
I mean, it’s not really an opinion, it’s simple math, Chis.
Fran gave Pissconsin 2 points by getting a T. It’s inexcusable that late in the game.
I'm afraid you're right - we have seen the best of Fran ball. Hope he someday proves me wrong but we have 10+ years of data to prove it
Well if Iowa likes losing then sure they can continue to make excuses for it, rather than addressing this problem.
It'll be disappointing but then again I've already said, multiple times, that this team making the NCAA Tournament would be an overachievement.............
And we are all tired of yours 🤷
With a healthy Murray that’s not true at all. We’re a 6-7 seed with him.
It is what it is.
The results are pretty predictable, so there’s no reason to get overly emotional.
Everyone on HORT knows what you are all about your act there is tired. As far as Fran he had every right to be pissed. The refs should have realized they made a mistake and let it go.
