Iowa v Maryland

I think we’re all being a little hard on Fran. No other coach has suffered from the uncontrollable bad luck of having the other team shoot the best they have all season against us. Night after night. For 15 years.

Just gotta be patient and wait for the luck to turn!
The patient is on life support. And should be sent to hospice.

It’s uncanny how many times it occurs. Many rabbit’s feet and four leaf clovers uncovered by every opponent.
 
Remember the Denver Nuggets under the coach where they used to average around 120 a game. Gabe up around 125 though. That’s what Fran’s system reminds me of. Don’t even bother with defense. It will slow the offense down :)
Why would the opponents play defense when the Sandforts slow the offense down?

Well the hope is the right decision is made at the end of the year. Trending towards around .500. With a weak non conference. And playing in a conference that most likely isn’t as tough as years past.
It'll be a good test run to see if Beth can actually hire a head coach so we know what we're in for when Kirk retires.

Is this the punishment for Iowa fans wanting to move on from Dr Tom?

Seems like we’ve been in different levels of purgatory ever since.

His last year was our last sweet 16 fwiw

This is us paying the piper for answering the question "Would you take the worlds greatest women's basketball player for 4 years in exchange for watching an absolute joke of a men's team for 4 years?"
 
I vote for euthanasia. Immediately.
 
Why doesn’t Chris Tadjo play more?

Because he’s raw. Seriously, he’s looked horrible. Looks great today.

No excuse not to play him from here on out though.
Exactly this. Tadjo is a work in progress on offense, & that type of player doesn't see the court under Fran. He could block shots, play D, get rebounds, but if he doesn't have a jumper he'll sit behind guys like Pryce Sandfort.

I bet the over parlayed with us at +19.5 (alt line). We couldn't even cover that. So, so pathetic.

In other words, there is no one to insert into the lineup who is actually P5 talent, so Fran will default to the white guy. Shit, we had a lottery pick on the bench and Fran deferred to the white guy.

Beat goes on…
