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

[EvilMonkeyInTheCloset]

This team is completely unwatchable

Yup

 

[Grumpy Old Hawk]

He would already be selling used autos.

Too hyper. He would scare people away.

 

[Sett1997]

This made me 😅 🤣 😂😂
What else can we do at this point? 🤣🤣

 

[BrotherHawkeye]

Here you go. Iowa’s 5 BT road losses have been by an average of just under 17 points. Take away the 2 point loss at the beginning to Michigan and it is 21 points.

 

[Grumpy Old Hawk]

This Iowa team plays their best ball, generally, when there are 2-4 minutes left, down 30

Ya because the walk ons are in for the opposition.

 

[DEMGR]

Our head coach basically benches Freeman the second half. Their head coach gives him a huge Bro Hug in line after the game.

 

[NI hawk]

Thought Iowa would be 6-4, not 4-6.
Misread this team. And Fran packing it in.

 

[Hawksfor3]

Ash could start on this team!

 

[SDHawkDoc]

Held an opponent under 90 in a road game. A win?

I liked that kid. Made the game exciting at times, especially pulling the trigger from anywhere on the court!

Not going to get easier from here. This was the ONE game I thought the guys had a shot to win, even though it was a road game.

 

[Jimmy McGill]

You guys want to guilt some of us for not donating money to a failing program. I suggest you donate to buy out Fran

You’re a lawyer. Why don’t you give money to the Swarm?

Just his body language alone tells a lot. I don't see him here next year.

U of Iowa has received their last dime from me.

I’ve given up too

Iowa doesn't need anyone to donate money to rid the program of Fran, they just need Beth to do her job at the end of the year, but we all know that, that ain't happening, because Fran is the all time winningest coach in men's basketball and forget who's has the most losses in Iowa basketball. That's immaterial, the wins are all that matters.

 

[hawkguy77]

We got two transfers from Mid Majors in Traore and Thelwell and they are only two guys on the entire team that match up athletically most of Big10. Those two need to start.

This IOwa team is a Bottom Feeder. Looks like 7-8 conference wins unless something changes.

Optimist.

Know the story, Diebler was the lead assistant in the recruitment of Freeman under Chris Holtmann before Freeman chose Iowa.

 

[OutbackBowl2017]

Know the story, Diebler was the lead assistant in the recruitment of Freeman under Chris Holtmann before Freeman chose Iowa.

Then there is a good chance OF could possibly be playing for Diebler next year based on how this year is going with Fran possibly out.

 

[Rambler Hawk]

That was pathetic. He needs to sit.

he needs to, but he never will...

 

[Rambler Hawk]

At what point as Payton’s teammate do you just not let him get the ball?

Unfortunately he is the alpha Dog and the others don't want to upset him....

 

[Buffalo43]

What happened to freeman?After the half did he get injured?Or did he say the f?Word or something

 

[mro1978]

[HawkLogic]

Diebler probably made a job offer for $600K/yr for Freeman to play at OSU next year. There are no rules anymore.

 

[HawkBall23]

I’m never optimistic with this year’s Iowa team.

Especially on the road. Against a tourney team (currently).

But for some reason I think Iowa wins this.

Lame, wonky Monday night game.

Iowa isn’t a team to rowdy up the home team’s crowd.

I just have a feeling Iowa catches the Buckeyes, their crowd, & the city of Columbus sleeping tonight for some reason.

600K seems low.

Agree re: no rules.

 

[LukaDuka]

Does Fran show the team game film after these losses? Does he take the opportunity to show Payton the horrible shot selections? How off balance he is? How time and score dictate when to take certain shots?

I'm with you, but add Josh's shot selections as well, it seems every time Josh goes up for a shot now, he steps back and makes it a more difficult then it needs to be, AND YES, THIS WAS BY FAR BROCKS WORST GAME AS A HAWKEYE. UNEXCEPTABLE BY ANY STANDARD.
Fran has never set screens to free up shooters, the players always pass the screener allowing a 2nd defensive player to cover, how about a double screen once in a while. NOT UNDER FRANS WATCH. Fran and his staff needs to go. PERIOD.

 

[IllQChawk]

Fran has always picked a few players on his roster to be the alfa dogs no matter how bad they turn out. They were the players that got the most shots up or took the last shot. I'm sure you can think back to every year of Frans 15 years at Iowa and know just who they were. YES Wieskamp was one, and of course Garza, Keegan, and Kris were others. There is a reason why Iowa has only had 1 season in 15 years with less then 10 losses, in my opinion this is just one of them. Prove me wrong!
