Nobody had numbers worth posting but the 30 minute group can at least play defense.
Iowa gave up 48 points tonight.
Rutgers scored 48 points and Iowa went on a 13 minute scoring drought in the second half. Defense wasn’t the problem 😂
Pat’s layup to tie it up on our second to last possession might have been the best strong take of his career, so that’s encouraging
Of course we're allowed to complain about his rotations, and it's an ongoing issue, but tonight wasn't a good night for those guys either.
The shot clock violation because 5 guys refuse to step up....not so encouraging
Iowa was passing up good shots to try and get great shots but they weren’t getting great shots all night so somebody should have settled for a good shot. Coachable momentThe shot clock violation because 5 guys refuse to step up....not so encouraging
If there’s one thing Fran can coach, it’s offense!
Pmac and Jbo looked pretty much like they've looked the last 3 games which isn't very good. They are shooting poorly and not collecting enough rebounds. Keegan and Kris were off their normal games. Only Rebraca performed at a higher level for the second game in a row. It's not all about scoring. It's about scoring efficiently, defense and rebounding. Our least efficient scorers on the starting unit also happen to be our least capable defenders and rebounders at their positions. That's a problem when there are others that can step in but it's a problem that isn't going to get addressed.
Perkins , Ulis and Kris didn't have it at all tonight. All 3 played poorly. Sandfort really wasn't in enough to tell.
This.
That was a good play by Pat but he’s really been in a funk. He looks completely lost of late.
Yeah maybe that will help things click a bit. We saw him in a complementary role play pretty well down the stretch last year. Hopefully just a case of the sophomore slump
If you are willing to have this point of view for this game then what are you thinking in the rest of the games?
I kind of get the feeling he is mailing this season in. He is probably burnt out after 6 years of practicing and doesn't put in the extra work anymore.
Good thing he came back for team reasons. Good on Fran for rubber stamping that brain trust move.
Eh, the Bulls beat the cavs and are still in first place. Even being very shorthanded most of the season Billy and the boys are a refreshing distraction from Fran's BS. If they can get healthy second half it could be a fun ride
I’ve got to think Kris’s numbers will go up, he was shooting 45% at one time. When you don’t play a lot of minutes it’s hard to find your rythem.
Yes, but it wasn't the same person right? That would be weird.
I was for more TP until last night and same with Ulis. Neither guy seems to have a clue what he is doing on offense. TP dribbles into the teeth of the defense and freezes. Ulis dribbles around with seemingly no purpose. Both have issues with shot clock awareness.
Bohannon had wide open threes that he missed terribly. He really didn't hurt as much on the defensive end this game, but when you're not getting any offense from him I don't see why playing Perkins wouldn't have been a better move
