*****Iowa vs Iowa St Game Thread*****

[Steamboat529529]

Everything offensively just looks so difficult for Iowa

 

[longliveCS40]

Play zone. We can’t hang man to man.

Agree 100%. Have to make them shoot. They might torch us but you aren't winning this way.

 

[SDHawkDoc]

McCaffery defense.

Yup. Foul as you're getting blown by or well after the fact.

 

[LetsGoHawks83]

The difference in defensive intensity is STARK.

We are so effing WEAK

 

[HawkeyeShawn]

I couldn’t have been more wrong on how I thought this game would go.

 

[skydog0784]

I can't think of even one positive so far. We're getting dominated in all facets of the game...

 

[denmar81]

Pathetic

 

[blubberhawk]

This is some of the worst D I've ever seen

Iowa is clearly the 4th best team in the state. Congrats Fran.

 

[Chishawk1425]

Men vs Boys

 

[ddeanHawk]

What? You a little slow? The point is that Iowans are always made to look like dumb hick farmers on national broadcasts. The literal cartoon graphics. The ridiculous music playing in the background. It's tired, lazy journalism.

Yeah I'm a little slow, read it again. You're right, it is annoying how they always do that. My bad for jumping all over ya

 

[Mitch122]

“This is the deepest team we’ve had”. Frans is delusional.

 

[Buffalo43]

I'll check in for a bit Sunday, but I'm done with this one. (will leave the recording going, just in case a miracle happens)

Have a good night

Everything offensively just looks so difficult for Iowa

Because isu is making it a half court game

 

[TDJ7]

Still a better game than watching the Pats and Steelers tonight.

 

[iahawkeyes17]

“This is the deepest team we’ve had”. Frans is delusional.

Done with fran. He can leave Iowa with Brian ferentz.

 

[Buffalo43]

I couldn’t have been more wrong on how I thought this game would go.

Same another Purdue type game

 

[longliveCS40]

In this type of game, you need a guy like Perkins to settle things down and handle the pressure defense. Even he looks rattled.

 

[Packer54]

Ok. Portal next season as Fran leaves. We can’t compete with this staff and team. Hope they can come back and win but this is crappy basketball.

 

[Steamboat529529]

I can think of ten Iowa state guards I would rather have, before even one guard from Iowa during Fran’s tenure.

 

[Legs94]

This is the beginning of the end for Fran. Most overrated coach in history. His best trait, Not Lickliter. 13 years, no sweet 16s. Shitty guard recruiter and worst defensive coach in D1.

 

[Bank of Hawk]

Patrick has such a smooth stroke, I’d like to see him shoot more.

 

[Dude McHawks]

Hey all! Just figured it's time for me to switch focus to bball now that football is pretty much wound down.

5 minutes later:

Perkins and pmac for sr leaders have zero composure. 2 biggest whiner and complainers on the team.

 

[DougFHawkeye]

There cheerleaders could come in and out rebound us.

 

[Buffalo43]

In this type of game, you need a guy like Perkins to settle things down and handle the pressure defense. Even he looks rattled.

Example he threw up a horrendous bank miss 3 pointer

Bs.

 

[LetsGoHawks83]

Please retire after this year Fran. Always appreciate the return from the Lick dark days, but I can't stand the no effort defense and zero fundamentals anymore

 

[longliveCS40]

Out of a timeout the best we can get is a contested step back prayer jumper?

 

[Chishawk1425]

What is our strategy?

 

[briggshawk]

Gonna be a long season folks

 

[markfromj]

Iowa is clearly the 4th best team in the state. Congrats Fran.

Worse than UNI?

 

[birthhawk]

Just popped in to say 8 fouls to 2. The 8 is on the no d playing team. Weird.

 

[amahawk]

Another crappy Iowa offense. It is already filler material time for the announcers.

 

[LetsGoHawks83]

Layups vs. jump shots....

We'll see how that plan works Fran.

 

[DewHawk]

This team does not have clue and looks like they never practice.

 

[Franisdaman]

we're up a shit krikke without a paddle if Ben is not hitting the mid range

 

[longliveCS40]

What is our strategy?

Not make in game adjustments. Play our normal style and hope it somehow changes magically. They have to go to zone immediately.

 

[Chishawk1425]

So many pitiful turnovers.

 

[LetsGoHawks83]

Gonna be a long season folks

Sign me up. Accelerate the Fran exodus

 

[TDJ7]

There cheerleaders could come in and out rebound us.

Well, they are bigger than we are.

 

[Franisdaman]

at least watching the freshmen is a little bit fun
