Only down 5.
Considering that OSU was like 8-10 from three, I'll take it. Not happy about the defense and giving all them ****ing open looks from deep, but considering where it could be, to only be down 5 is a "win".

like a slump buster at 2am in the ped mall...
You're not going to win many games when your opponent shoots like this:
8-11 (72%) from 3
9-17 (53%) from 2
......................
17-28 (61%) overall
1-4 (25%) FTs
43 Points

I have to hand it to Fran. He is really good at standing on the sidelines with his hands in his pockets and not teaching his players how to guard a 3 pt shot. I mean, he is outstanding at it.
Can someone explain to me why Payton isn’t in the game on the last possession of the half? Thank you
If we had a real center or shot blocker we wouldnt need to help inside so much. But recruiting is hard.
Fran says "we have to be a little bit better at defense". A little bit???? How about not being hot garbage on that end?
Its like when their PG - or at least short enough to be the PG - deliberately dribbled into Brock with a dip of the shoulder to create separation and no charge call - it was OSU's possession right after Freeman's And1 make to get the deficit down to 2 (40-38).
FBS!!
Am I the only one who hates the BWW Buffalo commercials? It’s not funny at all.
Hopefully they have shot their wad and come down to earth.
You don't get out of 2 foul jail that easy
Freeman is very good defensively down low, but he's only one guy and a tired freshman at that.
This freshman class is impressive, though. Freeman, Dembele, and Harding are going to be fun to watch. Next year could be a good one if Tony returns.
Fran is on some killer meds. He don’t give a shit.
Sat for the last 3 minutes in 2 foul jail. Putting him in for the last possession probably wouldn’t be smart. He’s probably pick up his 3rd foul.
It never ceases to amaze me when some rando goes off for a career record game against our defense and no one can think of a way to stop him.
Maybe (hopefully) he's ready to be done at Iowa.
Harding needs a clock with the ball. Like if he doesn't get rid of it in 3-4 seconds nothing good happens, and Fran needs to f***ing tell him that.
He's a distributor and a good passer, yes. But when he dribbles and dribbles and darts around traffic, everyone else just kinda stops and looks like they're trying to process wtf he's going.
Yes, some of that is on the other 4 guys for not having a collective brain between them to cut or screen and move their asses to help him out.
But when you have the ball, you should ALWAYS have a plan....................and if that plan breaks down, then get rid of the f***ing ball and come up with a new plan.
After the loss Fran will say “they run good stuff”. He says it every time and drives me nuts.
Because they're still constantly moving........................and because the refs hate Fran/Iowa.
If Tony comes back it’s fine but I almost prefer he doesn’t. I think with Harding, Bowen Dix and Pryce the hawks will be ok
By comparison, Wisconsin had ten made 3s at the half and led Maryland by 21 in their game this afternoon.
Does it mean OSU will 'cool off' or that Iowa will win? Not automatically. But Iowa is in massively better position compared to what it could be.
Not sure, but PMac has locked down the corners on offense.
Brock overdribbles and gets too deep sometimes. He does tend to create and feed Freeman when doing that but it's not a high percentage look.Harding needs a clock with the ball. Like if he doesn't get rid of it in 3-4 seconds nothing good happens, and Fran needs to f***ing tell him that.

They needed to pass the ball around instead of just the high ball screen. Brock isn't athletic enough to create off the dribble when the defense knows what's coming.
I don't think Bowen is coming back. I'm not buying the injury thing.
If Brock Harding doesn't play at least 10 minutes in the 2nd half tonight, Fran needs to be jailed for criminal negligence in failing to perform well at his job.
Ohio getting hit with tornado warnings right now. Is that a good omen, or a bad omen? Either way it must mean something about this game.
