******Iowa vs UCLA Game Thread******

[Franisdaman]

We are getting outrebounded 17-8.

UCLA has 22 points off 12 Iowa turnovers.

UCLA has 10 second chance points. Iowa has 2.

8 of UCLA's points came from dunks.

UCLA is scoring 1.629 pts/possession; Iowa is at .774.

 

[HawkBall23]

I am ......

that Fran will have already been presented the pink slip before the team boards the plane back to Iowa City.

 

[danny14]

UCLA..."Don't play with fire scarecrow!"

 

[Fan In Black]

this is good. stop the bleeding. fire the obtuse nepo hard head. go get a job at Butler.

 

[Ronman]

Luckily, Payton is taking the high road and missing all of his shots again. If he wanted to return to college to impress the NBA, you would think that he might want to hit some open baskets.

Great to see a good all around game by Iowa!

 

[BrewHawk]

See how valuable Patrick was...

 

[Franisdaman]

What shade of pink do you want this slip, Fran??

And take your hand out of your pocket to grab it or not, still works the same.

 

[DTP2]

Just setting them up for the greatest comeback ever. UCLA will be lucky to hit 60.

 

[LukaDuka]

I shoulda went to a high school game tonight....any high school game...

Well Moline Maroons are playing UCLA right now.

 

[Sett1997]

Chins up though. We have a new recruit coming in next year.
Name is Billy Fishkins.
Fran is really high on him, high school pic.

 

[Hammerhead02]

No, don't come to Iowa City. Is it not obvious that this guy can't get it done. We need a new, young and hungry coach. Who actually at this point would be afraid to fire Fran. Lol

Don't get @chaneccooms angry at you. This is a great product that we all should be driving to Iowa City to watch.

Let’s all try to say something positive. Snarkiness is encouraged.

Mulvey didn’t turn the ball over.

Those kids who went to the game didn’t have to fight for the good seats.

 

[TheRealHerky]

I find the lack of effort and balls more disappointing than the lack of talent

 

[Franisdaman]

Positive thoughts only!

Too dark skinned to be an Iowa recruit

 

[Ronman]

F this going to bed, looking at the back of my eye lids is way better.

Going to bed at nine? How old are you? I'm going to guess either under 8 or over 70. Either way, we should all give ourselves a break and turn this debacle off.

 

[HawkLogic]

We'll never win anything relevant as long as we don't defend or rebound.

I agree, but the consistent 0.500 B1G ball is intoxicating to some.

Now I'm wondering if Fran is trying to tank the season so he get's fired and all his buyout money, He was going to have to work another 3 years and miss Jack's games if he keeps coaching at Iowa.

 

[coorsoriginal02]

See how valuable Patrick was...

I'm sure that's what KF was hoping he'd be able to tell everyone regarding Brian. Unfortunately Tim made things a little better.

Sorry it didn't work out that way, Kirky.

[Underscore2]

In case you were wondering if it could get any worse than against USC. Yes, yes it could.

But on a positive note. Ticket prices for the next 2 home games will be affordable.

Comon Beth - free pizza. That will make all of this better.

 

[Buffalo43]

Mulvey played well in his 30 seconds of action

 

[Sett1997]

What a nasty little twit she is! 😅🤣

 

[Hammerhead02]

Fran's teams are soft. Can't rebound or fight for loose balls. Zero defense. But they can score.

 

[LetsGoHawks83]

Just remember folks. EVERY SINGLE PLAYER AND COACH on that bench is being paid.... Pretty handsomely.

Yet, they look like they could give 2 sh*ts.

Just blame it on having to be in California for 6 days. Just such a rough time

 

[Fan In Black]

I hope the 7k at Carver let him know how mad we are.

 

[BlkNGld71]

Put Gatens in. Phuck it.

Uh no. He's more of the same. Clean ***king house. Hire someone with a national recruiting strategy, balanced mindset (offense/defense), and deep Rolodex.

 

[Franisdaman]

Iowa turned the ball over on 38.7% of their possessions (12 turnovers on 31 possessions).

 

[TheRealHerky]

I agree, but the consistent 0.500 B1G ball is intoxicating to some.

Now I'm wondering if Fran is trying to tank the season so he get's fired and all his buyout money, He was going to have to work another 3 years and miss Jack's games if he keeps coaching at Iowa.

Fran is playing chess….mmmmm…now it all makes sense

 

[Buffalo43]

Meanwhile hoosiers and buckeyes are tied

 

[HawkBall23]

Positive thoughts only!

Maybe Fran's already been fired, in the halftime locker room!

Well, we could use a lottery pick, but I don't think it works that way.

 

[Moral]

Which one of you hasn't been giving enough to Swarm.

 

[Hawkstate1]

Fire Fran. That is all.

 

[2D_]

Sandfort out

 

[Ronman]

Sad thing is....UCLA isn't even good!

This is the longest half I think I've ever seen. This is an evisceration. This is a game that should seal McCaffery's career. Who cares that he has 3 years left on his contract? The university has the money. No heart, no fight, no shame. We're everyone's punching bags and Fran just stands there with his hands in his pockets.

Would you prefer to watch him throwing the hissy fit this game deserves? You know, come to think of it, that may be the most entertaining aspect of this game. Go for it Fran!

 

[LarryMullenJr.]

No, I meant to play

 

[coorsoriginal02]

Mulvey played well in his 30 seconds of action

It's only his 4th year - patience with his development.

Those numbers aren't good, are they?
