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

[hawkandroll]

Why is UCLA's coach acting like vintage Fran? I don't get it

 

[HawkBall23]

I hope Cronin asks Fran in the handshake line if he was paid to throw this game.

What a blatant non-effort.

 

[Fan In Black]

I don't see how Mulvey is worse option than Dembele or Braun as backup center If you consider the size he brings and
that Iowa can't stop anyone in the paint or rebound.

Dix is having a good scoring game.


Not seeing anything else positive.

ummm. hes not 6'6-68 220 lbs tweener who is a streaky 3 point shooter with no lateral quickness or strength to defend any position. duh.

and rebounding? lol

 

[Franisdaman]

iowa winning second half 36-26.

this game will be settled in overtime!!!

 

[HawkBall23]

iowa winning second half 36-26.

SILVER LININGS!!!

 

[Franisdaman]

We did it. We succeeded.

RELB???

 

[LetsGoHawks83]

Okay new lineup
Mulvey at center, Freeman PF, and Pryce, Dix and Thelford/Harding PG.

Mulvey outplaying Freeman on defense today.

Fran DOES NOT CARE about defense. So Mulvey will be on the bench. He should work on this 3 point shooting, so Fran will play him

 

[HawkBall23]

I kinda don't blame Cronin for still being on his guys.

Just because the other team mailed it in is no reason for your guys to be dumb.

 

[Hawksfor3]

Deficit down to 23. We got a game.

 

[IllQChawk]

Yep, his recruiting hasn't been stellar. The Moline boys are overrated. Prove me wrong.

Owen is not overrated by any means and Harding and Owen are only sophomores, and Mulvey by the way is showing he needs to play backup to Owen from this point on, NO Dembele playing the center, in fact I'd like to see Mulvey and Freeman play together at some point but that's for another topic... if the Moline boys were to leave the program then so be it as long as Fran and his entire staff leaves along with them....

 

[LarryMullenJr.]

Cut it to 23. If Barta were still here there’d be an extension

 

[Franisdaman]

Fran is standing up now , he cares you can tell

my ass was sore from sitting

 

[Jimmy McGill]

fran isnt a good gambler he is going to f me on both o/u and spread

 

[Franisdaman]

 

[Buffalo43]

Here is the difference mick is still yelling at his players with a 23 point lead and fran has succommed

 

[HawkBall23]

I like Fran but can’t understand why he can’t get very good athletes and never advances in the tournament

Its these little things called defense and rebounding.

And how he puts exactly less than zero attention on it so why would his players even consider doing those things during games.

 

[HawkLogic]

Why not play Riley and Owen together he is a better 4 than Ladji

Because going Big is the opposite of what Fran thought was the right idea of going super small.

Riley gets a bad rap. He's playing harder on the boards and on defense than FRan's starters.

 

[Franisdaman]

Deficit down to 23. We got a game.

great coaching, imo.

 

[LukaDuka]

Freeman has not been overrated. That is a clueless comment

He's not as good as advertised. He's regressed since last year. Sophomore slump

 

[Fan In Black]

I like Fran but can’t understand why he can’t get very good athletes and never advances in the tournament

you really can't understand it? after 14 recruiting classes?

 

[Bank of Hawk]

price with an airball, certainly you cannot blame Fran for thay

 

[LukaDuka]

i am hoping for 69 now and 69 later

with your mom? or dad?

 

[HawkLogic]

Wow, Pryce has Payton disease. Never seen pure shooters Airball so many open looks.

 

[Bank of Hawk]

Brock Harding with the contest

 

[Bank of Hawk]

Fran with the chin rub we are back

 

[intrepodor]

Here is the difference mick is still yelling at his players with a 23 point lead and fran has succommed

Fran never started

 

[HawkBall23]

Cut it to 23. If Barta were still here there’d be an extension

[LukaDuka]

Yep, you're right. Everyone in the Big10 fears Owen & Brock. LOL.

 

[LetsGoHawks83]

Damnit. UCLA got complacent and won't hit 100

 

[Hawksfor3]

 

[Bank of Hawk]

Damnit. UCLA got complacent and won't hit 100

No that is Iowa picking up the defense and SHUTTING THEM DOWN

 

[Fan In Black]

Freeman has not been overrated. That is a clueless comment

he is absolutely overrated by Iowa fans. he is a good player. If he is your 1-2 best player as a soph you are not a good team. If you think otherwise you are myopic.

 

[HawkLogic]

WE might have something with Traore if he wasn't a brick layer with his shot.

 

[LukaDuka]

he is absolutely overrated by Iowa fans. he is a good player. If he is your 1-2 best player as a soph you are not a good team. If you think otherwise you are myopic.

Thank you!

"business trip"

- Tweet buy Iowa men's basketball when boarding the plane last weekend


Just as cringe worthy as "back in the lab"

 

[HawkBall23]

Final deficit only 24!!

That's almost like winning .......... right??

 

[GeorgePeeples]

Mulvey will be exhausted.

 

[Franisdaman]

i am hoping for 69 now and 69 later

missionary accomplished.
