Long season and the youts are getting better, gaining experience. They can get hot at some point in the season in a marginal B1G.There is no hope for this team.
No physicality.There is no extending a lead or closing a gap, when you can't get stops
If they could find a way to clone Owen Freeman and Tony Perkins, there might be.There is no hope for this team.
This team is short on the long.How many legit D1 athletes do we have?
Long & unathletic is Fran's specialty.
This. Neither should be starting. They play atrocious defense and when they can’t hit the 3 they stagnate the offense. Play the young guns.Geebus Payton and Patrick had horrid game
They need to go all in to retain TP. He’s the most important recruit on the board for next year.TP already stated he is done at Iowa after this year, I am predicting he goes into the portal (as graduate transfer) because he has had enough of the McCaffery's and wants the chance to play for a contender next year.

He needs to come off the bench. Start Bowen, Perk, Payton Sandfort, Freeman, Krikke. It’s not that hard.
I’d put PMac with the second group to get his terrible shots in.

I'm so casual, I had no idea the Hawks were playing tonight until last night, when I was casually perusing my viewing options for the next evening.I no longer get upset. I'm a casual viewer of men's Hawkeye bball.
I wouldn’t fault him for transferring. But we should be outbidding everyone to keep him and Freeman.He should transfer.
I think anyone who pays attention to his body language, on the court and on the sidelines, during most games says that he's mostly only out there because he doesn't want to disappoint his mom.Just ran the #s. Against the 7 big teams we have played Pat is averaging 5.7 points and 3.1 boards. I really think he's struggling mentally. I honestly wonder if he needs to be done. He's a great kid.

To be fair, no one is required to play defense.What makes Pmac a great young man vs say any other student at the University or the walkons? He plays a lot of minutes and isn't required to play defense/be physical or be high efficient scorer because his Dad is the coach. The fact that he developed into this player with these shortcomings is not his fault, he's had an enabler.

His best assist was on a rare rebound where he let the Wisconsin guy just take it from him.PMAC stat line: 2-9 FG, 0-3 3 PT, 3 REB, 4 AST, 2 FL, 5 POINTS

Nope you can find a lot of players like him in the portal.I wouldn’t fault him for transferring. But we should be outbidding everyone to keep him and Freeman.
I hear ya. I actually stumbled into the game while channel surfing. Had no idea they were playing. My apathy is pretty strong these days.Not gonna watch much this year.
His defense is bad even by comparison to his teammates.To be fair, no one is required to play defense.
It was a decent first half at leastAs noted, Iowa basketball is casual viewing. Not must see TV.
Good news is there's loads of games to watch on any given night when Iowa looks bad, so plenty of other options to actually watch a well played game.
