Well......
When we get into B1G play, you're going to see what a disadvantage his lack of size is.
Sorry. Just a fact.
Iowa wins if Payton doesn’t play. Change my mind
Fran recruits and coaches at a Mid-Major level, so this isn’t surprising.
The soccer team was in a much deeper, perpetual hole than the men's basketball team. Not that they were awful but it's such an uphill climb against those coastal teams. We have been slowly getting better the last 10 years, won some Big Ten Tournament Titles.
This has been a long time coming for Iowa soccer.
As good of a shooter as he is, he always seems to have a number of games every season that are absolute clunkers. No one is going to tell him no though, and he doesn’t really have a counter.
That sucked. Gotta get Dix healthy and Payton's head out of his ass. Also maybe start playing Traore, one of your best defenders.
I'm not sure what that has to do with him playing poorly.
We had 3 starters play awful. Doesn't mean they always will, they just did tonight.
usu is a decent team, but this loss hurts a marginal team like Iowa trying to squeak into the NCAA tourney.
If Traore doesn't start in place of Dembele next Tuesday night, Fran is not hiding the fact he's punching his ticket out of Iowa - or at least trying to.

19% 3 point shooting
50% FT shooting
Dembele is worthless
Sandfort's were terrible
Fran got out coached
On the positive side, Harding was exceptional
I was pretty impressed with USU

I'm sure he's feeling down...but how the eff are you that good a shooter and miss that many shots? It's like a couple years ago when he
went on an Epi Bricklayer streak. I don't think he an ever go 1/13 in practice from 3pt line...he let it get into his head.
We are going to get destroyed once the Big schedule starts.
Fran should retire and take Kirk with him
What a stupid game. Our best athlete on the team by far, sits most of the 2nd half while we lose the lead—-Sandfort is having the worst game of his life and he remains in and and keeps chucking them up—we forget about our all conference center—-can’t get him the ball—-Dix sits most of the game (if he is injured-sit him) Utah State is not that good—-a terrible game for Hawks.
Utah state didn't look impressive to me. They're similar to Washington St---difference is Washington ST. missed a ton of open 3's and these guys didn't. I don't think UW or Utah St. are Sweet16 caliber teams. These are type of teams you might meet in 1st round in NCAA, but they (like Iowa) don't have the juice to go beyond that.
WIDE open and uncontested many times. Not a huge loss but a massively wasted opportunity.
I was too, but if Iowa doesn't miss thousands of wide open looks like they did tonight, USU's defense would have looked universally worse.
He should have said ok i am going to pass up this shot with a better one with a drive or drive and kick nope he just chucks very disapointing for a Senior
After a hard fought first half, it was a shame the wheels came off like that.
Brock Harding was the PotG tonight, and not only because of his 3pt shooting.
He made some plays on defense, too.
He made some plays on defense, too.
Well that was Fugly, Good news is Payton was extended an offer to join the bricklayers union if that NBA thing doesn’t work out.
Mountain West....that is the league Alford's got banished to. They were 4-6 in NCAA tourney as a conference last year.
I don't know about that but I think our backcourt is going to be outclassed in 80% of our games. That situation looks grim.
He had the grit tonight every one else was deer in the headlights and Freeman is very slow
