It would be nice if this team had guards that could shoot but Keegan scored in traffic all day.
Jbos presence is mostly a non factor besides the possessions where he decides to force up an airball.
Fran hates Toussaint! Told you

All of it! You haven’t seen JBo play this year?!?!?!
Keegan did a great job scoring in traffic today. That was when he has one or two guys to go against. It is harder to drive the lane when the other team can put five guys in the lane because they do not need to respect Iowa shooting from the outside. Payton and to some extent Kris and Patrick have shown that they are not afraid to take a shot and can keep the other teams from packing in the defense. Tony, Ahron and Joe have not been able to make shots from the outside enough to force teams to guard them at the three point line. Jordan has not done it this year, but other teams still respect his shot and do not leave him alone on the three point line.
The solution to Bohannon poor defense is to sit Toussaint? How about sit the weak link?
The premis that Bohannon needs to play for any particular reason is not true.
If teams go zone you put Keegan, Kris, Pat, Sandfort and JT/Ulis at PG.
Zone is solved.
You just bombed all of the dumbasses.
Wow, this isn’t a mic drop, this is a mic bodyslam/suplex/smash through the floor!
I think JT should have started. Not Bohannon. But Fran doesn't hate him
Around same time he took out sandfort for pmac.
Just stop. Thats not a real thing.
1 guy locking down Bohannon has a minimal effect on spacing at best.
Kris and Patrick are obviously not afraid to shoot.
JBo came back to be our sharpshooter. He isn’t living up to the expectations especially in conference play with his lackluster % and continues to be a liability on D. Hence the first half MN guards went off on him and like Monday when teams can like psu did continually isolate when they could in both OTs. JoeT suppose to be our primary ball handler. Push the tempo when he can and be our guy in D to stick on opposing teams guards to try and lock them down. For most part joet has done his job when playing. Assist to turnover rate is better this year, he’s looking to facilitate and find the other guys, not jacking up lot of bad shots and has played his typical tough D.
Yet JBo not only continues to plays normal min but sees uptick in minutes, handed the pg duties after a 0-5 game and follows up with a 2-7 performance. Meanwhile joet gets 6 min. And we get to see a Perkins Bohannon back court start a game off which I pray we don’t ever see again because obvious first 5 min of each half it wasn’t working.

Bottom line is Fran does not like Joe's game, I think we can all agree on that. If you don't think Joe has the quickest hook on the team you have not been watching.
Moving forward it will really surprise me if he breaks out of the 5-10 min a game mold unless an injury happens, which is kind of depressing because I think he is one of my favorite players to root for. He creates shots on offense and disrupts on defense. Nobody hustles more and he looks like he has fun playing the game. Hope he keeps his confidence up

Most beautiful air baller in America though.
I had to pause this game to show my wife JBo’s most awesome air ball this year!
So many to choose from though.
Air Ballhannon.
The more air balls he throws up the more playing time he gets.
Hes basketballs first air ball specialist.
Never said it was normal, just making the obvious point that the hate claim is BS.
When you're on a 19-4 run, you stick with whoever is on the court. No matter who it is.
Last season you would have been correct about the quick hook, but not this season. Hopefully, there isn't a return to it. It's pretty much been that Joe starts the half and then Ulis finishes it. I'm not defending that arrangement, only observing it.
It's a dumb arrangement. Joe T shoots above 80% from the free throw line. I just don't get it.
I've got a lot of questions on this topic from today's game:
One guy played 35 min, went 2-7 from 3, had 1 assist, 1 steal and 2 boards. His primary responsibility in man to man had 19 pts.
One guy had 6 minutes, had 2 steals, 1 assist and 0-1 from the field.
Some other dude led our team in +/- with +16 and played 14 minutes.
We don't know if something was wrong with Joe. We will see come next game.
You are correct; there are issues with JBo's, Ulis' and Perkins' games, but for some reason all of the blame and focus is put on JBo.
Bottom line is this: Fran is doing what he thinks will not only win the game but will get his team positioned for the NCAA Tournament. And lets face it; if we don't make the Big Dance, you know the "experts" on here will bitch nonstop about that.
don't question the "experts" on here and how dare you interrupt their outrage!
yet none of you have coached a game that mattered in your life
some of us see that.
So, I am sure that you will agree that Jordan can't be the sole cause when things go bad, either.
Speaking of our offense grinding to a halt, they said during the broadcast Iowa is the worst 3 point shooting team in the B1G. I knew we were bad from 3, but not that bad.
There are a lot of issues with this year's team. We were picked by all major media outlets to finish either 9th or 10th in the B1G. We are seeing why.
Fran hates Joe and won play him because he hates him.
Unless Fan adopts Joe, then the only reason he plays him is because of nepotism.

In today’s “long term” college basketball world, you have exactly until the end of the current year. The transfer portal has changed everything.
In conference play only, Iowa is 6th in OE(low for normal Iowa teams) and 6th in DE(higher than normal Iowa teams). I think most of us predicted bubble/middle of the pack. It’s certainly trending that way. Why all of the angst and anger?
I'm not going to complain after a win, but the difference in minutes is very odd from yesterdays game.
Not always, you have to watch the games and see, but this year it isn't very often where he is helping the team out there.
Every game I've ever coached matter to the kids parents and fans I represent.
But go ahead thinking your fandom is better than others. The questions of fran on cmac and jbo are legit.
because frans decisions on who he plays and what he accepts on defense has lead to perpetual mediocracy.
You will accept that a team with the national player of the year, another NBA Draftee, another potential player of the year and likely NBA draftee, the "best 3pt shooter in B10 history?", and another 4 star player were just average. But you go thinking fran knows best.
Nah, I’ll start a cult following for @Bulldogs1974 since it’s pretty obvious that he knows best. @Franisdaman first cult meeting at my house or your house?
I agree.
it's also easier to hurt your team on defense than help on offense. Yesterday jordan was ok on defense in the second half. Just ok. Those defending him loved to point out that someone shot over joe t and they made the basket. Yep joe kept his guy in front of him and they had to fall away to make a basket. Curtis loewe had a good first half... If joe had been guarding Loewe and he score that many we wouldn't have seen him in the second half.....???? oh wait.
I'll be happy to explain this to you. People are focused on Jbo's minutes because;
Jbo has the worst shooting efficiency in the starting lineup.
The player he apparently just replaced at the starting PG position, shoots a higher percentage, doles out more assists, gets more rebounds, and generates steals at one if the highest rates in the league.
Jbo has the worst PER on the team at 6.9 vs 15.7 for Joe.
Jbo is averaging way more minutes than any other guard on the team and was apparently just awarded the starting point guard position because he was so ineffectual at the 2.
So I'll ask you Fran. What should the focus be on today if not Fran's handling of the point guard position?
I don't know, maybe that we won yesterday and that Joe was smiling all game and post game, in the locker room?
