Fire this season into the sun. Oh yeah and just do that next year since I’m sure the excuses will come then too

Iowa basketball: There’s always next year
- Thread starter LetsGoHawks12
- Start date
The basketball Gods are making us endure the lows before the insane highs of next year with everyone back and healthy.
Until I actually see a highs that includes a sweet 16 appearance I’m gonna be skeptical
Everyone saying injuries are the reason. Well maybe spread out the classes so you can afford injuries or grab a grad transfer that’s worth anything
If you are going to freak out about a road loss why do you bother watching the games? It happens all the time to every team.
Even if you are a blue blood, you are going to feel the effect of 3 starters out with injuries. Could easily argue 2 of our top 3 players are out. One out for the season. We don't know what we are missing with Nunge, but I can guarantee that we'd take him over Pemsl. Nothing personal, but Pemsl has lost most of what he once had.
CJF
JBo
Nunge
Put a healthy Jbo on this team today and Iowa wins..but we already knew after last year's surgery healthy Jbo not likely to be on the team.

uh, so you are saying that once in awhile we will lose? Yeah, that’s what happened.
Against a team totally patch worked in 6 months consisting of a glorified intramural team talent - really?
Total bullshit loss. No way to suggest otherwise.
wtf are you talking about?
so if jbo had been born a different year he'd fine? or maybe nunge or cj?
interesting thought.
every team has shitty days shooting the ball, do they not?
how many teams you think anyone is going to beat when they shoot that poorly?
Bad night shooting, bad lose while Nebraska was throwing in 3’s. Fran needed to adjust the game plan when the three’s weren’t falling.
Don’t get 6 guys one year then 3 then 2. Try to get the same amount each year
Yeah spread out the injury to Bohannon, a senior. Nunge, RS Soph. PMac, FR. & Frederick, RS FR.
Yeah, just spread out the injuries a little and recruit insane starter type depth with the likes of MSU, and no more excuses!
You're not wrong. This was a really bad loss.
Wade will try to put lipstick on this pig, but there's no way around it. Losing to Nebraska is inexcusable.
Correct. Adjust the game plan. I bet he thought that the 3s would start falling...never happened.
Even with the D packing in around Garza, he needs a touch every trip. Quick ball reversals, Garza and Kriener working High-Low on the ball reversals.
Garza is THAT good, he needs a touch EVERY possession. This needs to happen and needs to be drilled into our players heads.
Also drill into Pemsl that he should NEVER shoot 3s
Absolutely, positively, a horrific loss.
it wasn’t a fluke (even though the 3 point shot wasn’t falling tonight), it’s that our player personnel is thin that can’t withstand injuries or being out coached.
Yet Fred was able to get the job done after only 6 months vs the 10 years Fran has had.
Total bullshit, regardless how you try to spin it.
I’m not going to apologize for being rational. Bottom is that this is a likely quad 2 road loss. Hardly the end of the world on selection Sunday. But if you want to freak out about it, have at it.
Injuries are a concern but I see no reason to panic over a road conference loss.
I hope you’re right Wade, I really do. I don’t think we’re anywhere near Selection Sunday discussion.
It was tongue in cheek. I never got my hopes up for this season. I won’t even if Iowa’s starts hot next season. I won’t until Fran has an entire season of success and not flopping towards the end.
