******Iowa vs Duke Game Thread******

[HawkLogic]

If Bowen doesn't get early minutes against ISU, Fran needs his head examinedis

You're talking about a guy that started CMAC as the PF over Keegan Murray and didn't bother playing Kris at all his Freshman year. Fran going to do it his way. Tough to compete with Dukes and TCUs....ISU on otherhand, no excuses.

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.

Rebraca, Ogundele for a few minutes a half, Ulis, and Bowen seem to be the least of the team's problems right now. It's the other dudes who get solid minutes who seem to be the most inconsistent and unreliable.

FM babies his players and that is how they play, no intestinal fortitude. JMO

I don’t think Kris reacts well to someone in his face screaming at him. He’s laid back. Almost too laid back based off of this game. Not good.

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.

Iowa is 171 in three point% before the game at 55 for 160 34%, hope it improves.

I agree his personality has to change on the court for him to be successful, but just my opinion

Not sure if the Murray’s were really ready to go but watching Duke’s five star freshmen play with size, speed, and muscle is amazing. They are a different breed of player compared to Iowa’s roster.

Sorry, I don't want to read through 25 pages. I didn't see Mulvey, anyone know why?

Agree. Patrick and Sandfort are struggling on both ends of the court. Their defense need to be ramped up to help it their offense get going.

Chad L tweeted before the game he was unavailable so not sure the reason.

Exactly, so he needs to keep shooting them

He can keep shooting them, in practice….
a 20% 3 pt shooter isn’t good for a coach’s career….

Been sick for awhile according to the beat writers.

Kris couldn’t start last March (wasn’t ready’]
then by Dec 1st he’s busting out 30/20 games….

Murray is not ready for the NBA. He

Try some old Andy Griffith Doodle.

Every evening after work, old pal. Comedy gold. 😊

ISU is better than TCU this year, or at least is as good as them. Just my opinion of course.

so do I. That guy will forever be remembered.

Duke is very good. Great size, talented and well coached. Win or lose this is great preparation for the Hawkeyes.

It is, but it won't make them shoot better or get bigger inside which are pretty big problems.

 

[jonesy5960]

The only chance Iowa has is to rub Chinese Miracle all over their bodies.

Does that stuff really work 🤔?

The coaches and team will have to figure it out.
