Fran and his menacing grimace towards the refs as he was being held back by the assistants.
- Thread starter NorthernHawkeye
- Start date
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Definitely Burgess Meredith
Again, we’re missing 2 starters and you guys are blaming Fran and saying this is all we’ve got?
I’m not blaming Fran. But his glare looks really bizarre and not intimidating. It’s comical
Being Down Kris was big...Iowa probably wins with him if Kris has his season average game. Iowa would still be lacking post scoring though because Kris is more a 3pt shooter/dribble drive guy then someone you post up.
Blaming refs is just making excuses. Fran probably was already pissed because CMAC said there was hook and hold and the replace that Fran did not get to see didn't show one of substance. The Wisky fans probably think they got hosed because their big man had bloody nose and no call.
I was hoping someone posted this. Lol. I was entertained by it.HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
I wish the assistants would just let him go. The outcome would likely result in either an ejection and/or a suspension. Either would be good.
And the announcers also said it wasn't just that call it was an accumulation of things which is why I said he had every right to be pissed. You think we get the calls Wisconsin got tonight when we go to Madison?
Yep, if they had called all of the Wisconsin fouls in the first half they would have had 4 fouls each. I can understand why Fran was upset. He's protecting his team.
I think almost every game is called fairly, that’s not saying good, and that our fan base, like most see the game through Hawk colored glasses.
Wisconsin shot very few foul shots until the last few minutes of regulation. It was not a one sided game
No, Hell No! Nobody does. Little Larry is a pain in the Hawkeyes ass.
I fvcking love it. Everyone bitches at the refs. Let the head coach do the talkin. Entertaining shit and we got some calls near the end.
People say bad calls as an all-encompassing term for anything poor the refs do (or don't do/call)..................
Shooting FTs, or not shooting FTs, is just one aspect of it.
It's like when MSU fans whine about foul discrepancy saying, "oh yeah well look at the foul totals, we had 13 and you had 12"...........................and to that we explain, and you should've had about 26 more.
I get that. What I don’t get it why we don’t adjust and play just as physical. Finesse does not win many tournament games.
And even better if he physically assaults a ref because that would get him canned, but also he got a shot in on a ref which is something every fan in the history of sport has at least imagined doing.
"Well Iiiiiii've never thought that".........
Because we don't lack morality.
It may be a fatal flaw, but it's not one worth abandoning............
We played physical as hell i thought. Rebraca got punked by these dudes last year. Crawl could barely move in the post vs him. Connor and Pat were tough all night. Perkins battled too. We were playing walkons and wisconsin is a machine. Valiant effort
I honestly wonder why you (and several other posters) even watch any Iowa games (in any sport). I wonder why you put yourself through the pain of watching sports of any kind. I am extremely emotional during any Iowa game but can remain at least a little rational and open minded in the end. Your highs are so high (like after the ISU win) and your lows are so low (tonight). It must be frustrating to know you you’re going defcon 15 regardless of the result.
So a 1st team all conference guy averaging 19 and 8 would not have made a difference? Plus our starting pt guard? Again, I’m not a huge Fran supporter as most know but it’s disingenuous to act like Kris doesn’t make a difference in tonight’s game.
Just a thought, do you think the McCaffery’s have the types of game they had if Kris was playing? Sometimes those things balance out.
So missing possibly the player of the year in the conference doesn’t make a difference? Are you special needs?
Possibly. Do you think we’re a better team if the possible player of the year in the conference plays?
Typically, but it may also limit what the other players on the team do. I guess it really does not matter as we will never know.
So our 1st round NBA guy is not our best player? I will be anxiously awaiting your response.
Depends on who you read. Anywhere from 28 to 42. He has no right hand and isn't nearly as aggressive as his brother.
Late 1st early 2nd. Wouldn’t do us any good to have him out there. I’d rather have Sandfort and Carter Kingsbury.
Wow what a disgusting response. I'd ask if you were a douche but I clearly don't need to. I will answer your question although I shouldn't but yes it obviously makes a difference but using it as any kind of excuse is a loser's mentality.
I'm talking about the next time we play Wisconsin. It'll be a different game, but the result will still be the same.
That's just how Iowa operates.
It didn't make a bit of difference last year in the Kohl Center with having Keegan and Kris, so why would it make a difference this year with only Kris?
And no there is no way Kris is going to be named player of the year in the Big Ten. If you haven't heard, Purdue is undefeated with a mountain of a man that not only averages over 20 points a game but over 12 rebounds a game and make their whole team better.
That's a concept Fran wasn't able to duplicate after the loss of Garza and bringing Rebraca to Iowa from the portal was OK if Iowa was in need of a 6-8/9 forward, but he is not a center by any means. You can't fault his fight and grit but if Iowa wanted to play with the big boys, in college basketball, you have to have a skilled 6-11 or 7 footer of which Iowa apparently has none. Just a swing and a miss by Fran and his staff.
How many skilled 6-11, 7-0 ft players are playing in college? That’s an absurd statement. If a guy is that tall and skilled he’s playing in the NBA after 1 year. Edey was a huge project out of Canada that I’ll give Purdue credit because that’s what they do. And he is a load. But there’s nobody else like him in the league.
Oh screw you douche. So what was your response? We’re missing a 1st round NBA draft pick and our starting pt guard who played 36 minutes the other night? Those minutes were replaced by Sandfort 0-7, Dix scoreless and Carter Kingsbury who hadn’t played a meaningful minute all season. If you can’t understand what that means I can’t help you brother. It’s not an excuse it’s a fact.
