I'd like to know which coaches applied the last time around. Somebody came on here a while back and said McCaffery was by far the best of the applicants...wtf?
Yea, I think I'm going to rescind that already. I just looked up their season record and heard Decourcy at half, I think I'm wrong about that.
Revised: 3 (and could be 2 as one of MI or NW at home is no gimme) wins in the B1G season. Go Hawks!!!
Too many skinny non physical players. Psu’s freshman are already more physical looking.
Too true.
I suppose Fran didn't expect Nunge and CJF to transfer and for Keegan to blow up and leave.
We'd be better with those guys.
Iowa has now not been competitive In 3 consecutive games. 2 perennial conference cellar dwellers and the worst team in D1. Amazing
This team looks worse than the team when Tyler Cook and JBo were Freshmen. That team went 4-14 in B1G but at least they could score. They just didn't play defense. This team can't score as well as doesn't play very good defense. So good news, more well rounded in being bad.
I think McCaffery's idea of weight training is for BBall players to watch the football team lift.
we have only 11 scholarship players of 13 possible
we can only play 9 of those 11
it's just a flawed roster
not enough size down low; not enough outside shooting

Well, just learned that Anderson committed for the FB team.
So, one ray of sunshine in this storm of sh*t that is currently Iowa bball.

They’ve been gone 2 years now. Inexcusable to have not filled those voids, especially in todays day and age with the transfer portal
i hope to god that McNamara is the real deal & our offense is AT LEAST average next year
Yes, if it were the 1980s with no immediate transfers, no portal, no nil, rare early nba entry---Iowa would be better. However Nunge/CJF apparently had own reasons to leave and it is Fran's failure to adjust to Portal/NIL that has meant filling holes in roster not being done.
Im ****ing sick of watching Patrick play.
Hes not a 3 on either end and just gets cooked every time down the court on defense.
No one else would be allowed to suck on both ends and continue to play so many minutes.

He plays hard but he always opens up way too much. If every guy on the team would contain at least the first two dribbles, they would be so much better. Typically after one dribble they open up and let them go by.
His only rebounds are long threes that fly to him. Not sure I ever seen him fight block out or rebound in the paint.
skinny, not strong, below the rim, and in Sandfort case either a confidence crash or he has some undiagnosed medical issue...hopefully it is just mental with him. HE looked like a pure shooter last year.
I haven’t watched much Iowa basketball this season, but from what I’ve seen Murray is the only player who can create his own shot off the dribble. Perkins has that ability too but he just doesn’t look right.
Once again, Iowa has no point guard who can take guys off the dribble or create for others. There are also too many one-dimensional players who can’t contribute if they aren’t hitting 3s. Oh, and not a lot of guys getting after it defensively.
Fran has got to get better talent. It’s just that simple. I would keep Murray and Rebraca and that’s it.

Good timeout by Shrewsbury to put a stop on the lethargic PSU start. Fran wouldn't do that... That's what good coaches do...
The way they’re playing now, they won’t win any. The team that opened the season and beat ISU would be competitive, but I don’t know what happened to them.
I’m really baffled by PMac’s play. It’s crazy that of all the kids Fran has developed his own sons aren’t two of them.
on defense and rebounding.....PMAC could be best described as a day late and a dollar short. He lets guy drive by him and goes for the trailing block and almost never makes the block. Rebouding he stand outside the scrum waiting for the rebound to bounce his way.
Iowa down 13 at the 15.53 mark
PSU is shooting 59% for the game
3 point shooting
1-8 (13%) Iowa
8-14 (57%) PSU
2 point shooting
13-27 (48%) Iowa
12-20 (60%) PSU

Dix is not moving from the very end of the bench. I think he must have turned his ankle pretty good. He may be done for the night.
The good news is we have Sandfort and PMac to man the wing - LOL!

They were hyper focused for the ISU game. They have not even been close to being that focused since. When you are that focused, it is amazing how much better a team can play. Right now they look like they are going through the motions and have a defeated mindset.
