*****Iowa vs NW Game Thread*****

[Rose bowl or bust]

A D1 official should not miss a 10 second call, ever. Green is worthless. Understandable Fran was irate but he went overboard.

Jesus Christ...you guys act like they missed it by 4 seconds. They missed the 10 second call by about .1 or .2 seconds. You guys are making excuses for a team that just didn't play well at all. The refs didn't make us turn it over at the start of the game. They didn't make us miss wide open shots. It wasn't the refs that decided we should have Rebraca switch and guard Beiu on like 10 trips in a row.

 

[Hawkfan_08]

Be glad you missed this one

I will be!

 

[Franisdaman]

do you guys see Gatens as a HC one day?

that guys seems cool and collected; i really like his demeanor

 

[denmar81]

At the game, way better atmosphere than I’ve ever witnessed at Carver

That happens when you’re having your best year since the 30’s.

 

[KcTo]

Clear the bench…
Fran ensured the Loss,
give the bench some minutes

Clear the damn bench…

 

[TheRealHerky]

That’s Basketball

 

[Phenomenally Frantastic]

It was a bang bang play. They got it wrong by fractions of a second. That stuff happens.

See post #773.

 

[Franisdaman]

I will be!

i demand that you watch the replay twice.

thank you.

Not unless he emphasizes playing defense.

 

[kzoohawk80]

Green is a crook. Hates Iowa and doesn’t even try to hide the bias. Why is he still allowed to call Iowa games?

He's a bad official but most Big Ten coaches know that and don't get on his bad side. Fran's on a bad officials bad side and that's a horrible place to be. And what does Fran do about that, well he decides to take out his frustration on this game on an official instead of coaching his team. The technicals and outbursts are beyond old at this point. I don't know maybe try coaching your team instead of blaming the officials for how badly your team played.

 

[iowaathletes]

They should play physical too when the refs are allowing it. Idk what else you can do if shots aren’t falling.

 

[HawkLogic]

Umm his team defended the other team for 10 seconds in the back court resulting in a 10 second violation which the dumbass crew just decided not to call for some reason? Is that what you are talking about?

Yes, Replay shows blown call....however it was maybe 10.2 seconds....do you really expect humans are going to be able to make that call at better than a 50/50 chance of getting it correct? I used to get worked up about ref bad calls but as I get older, it does mostly even out and it is just the nature of the game. I do agree Courtney Green is not a great ref.

Iowa was getting soundly beaten regardless of refs today...they didn't make shots. Fran getting two technicals certainly sealed the deal. Not unlike NW coach getting a technical at Carver and turning that into a blowout loss for NW.

 

[Franisdaman]

shit, even N'w has some nice luxury suites

we need to this at the top of CHA

 

[WSC72]

Yes.

 

[MAXIMUSHAWKEYE]

PMac hasn’t progressed much since his Freshman year.

I hate to diss on the kid,but he is frustrating to watch. Sometimes he looks all Big,mostly looks like a bench player that should not play much more than 10 minutes.

 

[CyRail]

GTFO and go lose to Texas Tech again in historically embarrassing fashion you bum.

At least we don't have a melt down.

This is hilarious. And now coach wife gets tossed? I mean, this is hilarious stuff.

HAHAHAHAHAHA

 

[LetsGoHawks83]

That stretch was a microcosm of the whole game.

Great D. NW throws it up with .5 seconds.

2 wide open 3s that we miss.

 

[Franisdaman]

Yes.

maybe he can land some recruits and get a reputation as a recruiter

 

[kzoohawk80]

Patrick can’t score, can’t defend, and can’t rebound.

Are we allowed to say when Patrick plays basketball that he plays soft? Or do the super fans think that implies other things that honestly I personally don't care about.

 

[Mitch122]

Two 3 pointers halfway down then out on that possession. Can only laugh

 

[BigDogHawkFan]

So you are saying everyone should accept he is bad and not say anything for fear of getting on his bad side? That’s laughable

 

[iowaathletes]

Rank this.

 

[WSC72]

maybe he can land some recruits and get a reputation as a recruiter

I agree that his demeanor would be great for a head coach. He was a great player for the Hawks and he seems to be a no-nonsense kind of guy. Good call Fran

 

[LetsGoHawks83]

Still jNW. Finally found a way to beat us

 

[HawkLogic]

I hate to diss on the kid,but he is frustrating to watch. Sometimes he looks all Big,mostly looks like a bench player that should not play much more than 10 minutes.

he's a tall kid that was allowed to spend his entire B-ball career playing the perimeter. Yes, he can occasionally make shots, but the inability for him to mix it up in paint and guard in the paint means he should be a bench player. Today, Sandfort also was poor, so not like it mattered much which of them played bigger minutes.

 

[Rose bowl or bust]

They should play physical too when the refs are allowing it. Idk what else you can do if shots aren’t falling.

You can't just "play physical" when you're always out of position on the defensive end or when you get matched up against a better athlete. We're not great athletes (as an entire team) and our coaches apparently don't put a big emphasis on defense.

 

[ryanhawk33]

Scumbag school with scumbag fans and scumbags refs means we get raped. Hope they lose out.

 

[Mohawkeye]

Give Northwestern some credit, they’re for real. Bouie is outstanding and they play great defense. Hawks list this in the first half with atrocious 3 point shooting. Winning on the road is tough in college basketball.

 

[kzoohawk80]

Courtney hates Fran.

If I was Courtney I probably would too.

 

[Mitch122]

NW keeping their starters in up 20 and jacking up a 3. **** these guys

 

[Terrykohawk]

And now his son. Like Father, like Son.

What a joke.

Or, he's a hot headed maniac that can't control his temper.

He represents Iowa so well.

Why don’t you just get off your keyboard and stop embarrassing yourself. Just amazing how superior you act like without any semblance of proof

 

[HawkBall23]

I cringe everytime I see that tool Courtney Green slated for one of our games.

Prepared to be screwed when he's in the building

Him and Szelc are the worst.

Not even Larry "Little Man Syndrome" Scirotto is as bad as those two. And he's pretty bad himself.

 

[iowaathletes]

At the game, way better atmosphere than I’ve ever witnessed at Carver

Stay there then.

 

[LetsGoHawks83]

NW keeping their starters in up 20 and jacking up a 3. **** these guys

Get them in the B1G and beat those punk a$$es

 

[LetsGoHawks83]

LOL at the talking point about the great NW defense against us. Lots of missed WIDE open 3s.

Good defense I guess.

 

[WSC72]

Stay there then.

Why get worked up over that. He simply made an observation and good for him/her for going to cheer on the Hawks

 

[Slim45]

Umm his team defended the other team for 10 seconds in the back court resulting in a 10 second violation which the dumbass crew just decided not to call for some reason? Is that what you are talking about?

No, im talking about 13 seasons of god awful defense. Lose ur shit over 1 call when your team can’t get a stop to save their ass and down 15. Makes sense

 

[HawkBall23]

Big Tens 2nd place team is Northwestern.

Big 12s is Baylor or Texas.

Wow.

At least little brother comes to visit when Iowa loses.

It amuses me how much more enjoyment Cyclone, Gopher, Husker and Badger fans get out of Iowa losses than their own team's wins.

Probably the biggest reason I hope each one of those teams go 0-for-forever in each of their sports every season.

 

[blhawk]

Fran is an embarrassment to the world of college basketball.

One of the worst sportsmanship individuals there is in the game.

You must really be ashamed of Matt Campell then. That meltdown in the covid championship game over a non penalty when the guy didn't even make contact was epic. Plenty of other examples

 

[Buffalo43]

We shoot mis 17 3 pointers in first half so we should have played inside out instead we keep jacking up 3 pointers
