They weren't. That's a bad call though.
Agree 100% - he’d be 7th or 8th guy off the Bench for most upper tier BT programs, but he’s the best we got…
Well only lost by 12. Could have easily been 20+
Anyone who can reliably hit threes needs a chance to play. The starters and larger minute guys at the wing aren't pulling their weight.
Closer to Unplayable chucker than a keep feeding the ball guy
If Bowen doesn't get early minutes against ISU, Fran needs his head examined
No they’re not. Now they might play harder but they obviously are not better than Duke. And we are going to have to play way harder and tougher to beat them.
Duke fan here. Good game guys. You have a well coached squad. I like the way your team battled and wish you a successful season.
Iowa shoots near their norm, it's a game. Lots of bunnies and open shots missed tonight.
I am glad it's early December and not February. Still time to get things righted.

Ya his misses don’t even look good right now. Not even close
If we could figure out how to shoot free throws and rebound we might be ok.
On the other hand there is a reason Fran has never made a sweet 16. It will never happen , he’s just not the guy.
But we are Iowa, and being mediocre is okay.

Iowa will win so few games this season if they continue to shoot the ball this badly. Sub-20% from three again. Who else is going to make them with any consistency? Connor isn’t a volume shooter. Dix? Maybe. We need guys who can fill it up from deep otherwise our slashers (Perkins, Bowen, Ulis) become ineffective as teams pack the paint
Bowen will sit another entire half after one mistake and he’ll wonder why he came here.
I like Rebracca's effort by he is below average B1G center. Maybe Pmac and Sandfort will catch fire, maybe Bowen will end up starting and be a star, and maybe Murray will be able to be more consistent vs good teams.....if not, this looks like a 0.500 B1G team and that means most of the team is kinda average talent wise.
Man, if only fran would’ve tried some different lineups a little earlier. Nope just keep riding the guys that cant get a stop or make a shot. Bowen should be starting. His ceiling is so much higher than ulis.
There is no other position he could play effectively. FR can't shoot, but he is not alone on this team.
Good luck to you guys. You'll get better.
He gone.....with the Portal you either play a guy like Bowen big minutes or he transfers out.
You are correct sir, well stated. Just hard line drive lasers, that need some arc.
I agree with your second point. Unfortunately, against teams with a pulse, this kind of shooting/scoring has been the norm
Last ditch effort
God we played bad. If we would have atleast played mediocre, coulda been interesting. Disappointing.. beat isu and everything will feel different
FM babies his players and that is how they play, no intestinal fortitude. JMO
What are you talking about? Clemson, tcu, ga tech, duke. They shot like garbage all of those games. Me thinks that’s probably closer to the norm
To make the night worse. Wisconsin shooting well and Maryland can't hit the ocean. Effing Badgers win.
i agree, good question. PMac, Murray can get decent looks, but PMac is a defensive liability.
sandforts got a scholarship to make 3s
