I mailed a sympathy card to Beth Goetz expressing my sincere condolences for the death of Iowa men’s basketball.

The men’s ball team battled dementia for years as it thought it was a basketball team but looked more like a swim team or Pottery Barn sales counter.

There will be funeral Mass this Sunday at Our Lady of Bad Basketball.

Reception to follow, where else, but the Cracker Barrel, the new name for Carver Hawkeye.

RIP Iowa Men’s Basketball

Iowa is not a serious basketball program. (Just as @eyesofhawk is not a serious poster.)

If it were, it would have cut ties with Fran McCaffrey a long time ago.

When your roster makeup looks like a 3A Iowa high school team (or an elite squad of swimmers or Pottery Barn salesmen), and does from one year to the next, you’re not a serious basketball program.

It’s just that simple.

In lieu of flowers, the family suggests memorials to the Swarm Collective.

Wrong. Have only watched one game in the past month. Don’t need to watch to know it’s just a rinse and repeat of the past several years. Won’t watch a game the rest of the season. Iowa basketball used to be appointment tv for me, but it’s just the same crappy basketball every year now.

I watched vs. Indiana and Iowa State. That’s been it.

I miss Iowa basketball.

The UCLA game was a tough watch---giving up 9 straight made shots to UCLA, it was over right away. The Hawks shot well in USC game and they did cut the lead a little towards end of USC game to make it somewhat less embarrassing.

Basketball programs are easy to turn around, especially with Portal and IF you have NIL money.

If you don’t watch the games, why do you come on here like clockwork after every loss spewing pure hate and vitriol??

Seems like there are more positive uses for your time. Or do you just revel in being a miserable piece of shit?

This is brilliant. Let me take this one step further and suggest everyone actually mail Beth a Sympathy card over the death of Iowa Men’s Basketball.

Can you imagine the Iowa AD getting swamped with hundreds — thousands? — of cards expressing remorse over the passing of a once great program? It would send a stronger message than any email or phone call, which likely are handled by underlings and go unanswered.
 
So does Mali west Africa have a Pottery Barn opening up soon, or are four of Frans latest recruits joining the swim team? Just some context on recent recruiting for the mens team. Now what he does or does not do with these players IF he's still coaching we'll see....

Both teams got just about whatever shots they wanted and generally converted. Just painful.

Against UCLA especially, we looked scared and like we were playing in quicksand

Cut the lead?! I think USC was playing alot of 2nd stringers and had lost alot of intensity being 30 ahead

Not really, as USC isn’t a really deep team. Iowa did cut the lead to 5 pts with about 5 minutes to go. However, then, of course, USC hit a 3 pointer and Iowa’s run was over.
 
one of the continuing problems is only having 3-4 Big Ten caliber D1 players on the roster. The rest wouldn't start at mid-majors.

I officially decided to remove myself from decades of gut punches after Garza's last year. I don't even watch. I will check a score on my phone but that's about it.

I watched the last 4 minutes of the Ia St game! That’s all the BB I have watched. At the time I thought I was the problem as that was close to the beginning of the time in that game we sh!t ourselves. Turns out I’m not the jinx after all!
