Iowa doesnt play defense soooo…
You fran supporters should go become Nebraska football fans.
It is time for a change.
It is time for a change.
Watching ISU now. Night and day between Iowa and ISU talent.
Let’s be honest. This is where this was headed. We denied it. We hoped it would not rear its head. But we knew. They had a nice little hot streak, where they shot the ball well, but once that disappeared, and it usually does, they were exposed as a team that doesn’t play very good defense. And when the shots aren’t falling, they have nothing to fall back on.
Impossible. I've been told repeatedly on this board that top level talent cannot be recruited to the state of Iowa.
Skip the NIT If you are going to play anyone but the Freshman.
Jeezus.
I'm not near depressed or drunk enough for that!
But seriously. I've been pretty much over this loss since the last media timeout. Wake me up when Fran wants to make the fans "Mad Again".
He's terribly good at making me extremely apathetic to MBB here the last few seasons - save for that great stretch from January through the BTT in '22.
You actually made me laugh. Thanks for that.
No way that Patrick doesn't get less than 25+ minutes in his last game in an Iowa jersey. And Krikke & TP will get way too much playing time, as well.
And those personnel decisions will ensure the last 3 games of Iowa's 2023-24 season will be mostly lifeless losses.
Can't happen. You don't suddenly become a final four or Big Ten Champion after the number or years Fran has been at Iowa.
He had the AP player of the year 3 times, and still couldn't get out of the first weekend of NCAA.
This year, he MIGHT get Iowa into NIT.
It's over
Couldn't. Agree. More.
Update…wet dogshit isn’t really all it crackered up to be.
Yep he was never stoic played great when things were great played worse when things were not going well Josh however plays steady good or bad
Iowa men’s bball was an afterthought this season. Tonight was a fitting end.
You should season it generously with baking soda and serve with a Listerine Smoothie.
But those guys got all of the looks versus team so if i am oppenent i face guard those players and make them.work
I know dude just trying to be optimistic maybe pmac will voluntarly sit the NIT out
I’m cooking with weed butter instead…you know, to help warsh down the wet dog shit taste.
Can also serve it as a sandwich. That way, you don't have to look at it.
Some of you scoff when I said I don’t want Perkins back. Our consistent mediocrity is due to just that. People playing an extra year and stealing one from an underclassman. Yes you might have a tough season but it might be what it takes to have an excellent season.
Perkins is far from irreplaceable.
Perkins is far from irreplaceable.
I just can't see Fran returning. 14 seasons culminating into this year not making it to the Dance. I believe he knows it.
I agree Harding had just as many minutes as Tony but i felt Brock was in charge
I disagree.
Why would he leave? He gets paid millions and all he has to do is be better than Lickliter.
I like making people laugh thanks for that!
You are correct but that is why I am hopeful for higher expectations with Goetz. Barta was absolutely terrified to make any moves after Lickliter. As long as a coach had a 55% win pct. he wouldn't do a damn thing.
I could see Beth sandbagging for one more year and then pay Fran off. If we are lucky maybe a new coach comes with a Carver reno as well.
Tony should go elsewhere and get paid. He’d be a nice addition as a 2, which is the position he should be playing, for a team with a chance to make a tourney run.
Continuing to have Fran at the helm is the bigger contributor to consistent mediocrity.
Iowa has no open scholarships to get, and even if Fran had some, he'd eff it up. When you have no NIL there's very little chance to get someone that is worth a crap whether Fran go's for a front line player or a guard. That's why he recruits HS players.
As for those that have Fran fatigue why the **** are you even watching Iowa basketball at this point in the season,
Either it's all talk or you're just throwing out BS, evidently it's not enough fatigue to not watch the games and harp on the fact that Fran isn't satisfying your Hawkeye cravings.
Just wave good bye, see you next year and save your Fran Fatigue until next year.
Perkins did nothing recently with the season on the line that makes me want to see him come back. Thanks Tony for being a Hawk and all the best for the future. It’s time for us all to move on.
Most disappointed in Dembele, what the ****, 6-8 and refuses to dunk the ball! That just can't happen even at the end of the season. He shows promise, but I just don't like him hanging out on the 3 point line, he needs to be a warrior under the basket.
As for Freeman, he was going up against the best big men in the conference all year and handled himself admirably even being named Co-Big Ten Freshman of the Year, he has nothing to be ashamed of. He might have worn out some but he's going to be a beast next year.
