I think those who don't give a damn about how Iowa does tonight should just pick another team to root for in the Dance (maybe you can root for Little Dick's NM team, or become a UConn fan and feel good), and not add to their and our frustration bitching about our playing.
No. Why would you think that?
I wasn't talking about any other coaches or teams. This is a specific situation.
A doesn't equal B there.
In this case, I don't think the players that are done after this year are going to be excited to play in this tournament.
Most coaches aren't sitting their better players in favor of less effective ones in the first place.
Bingo… yet pretty much every fan accuses them of just that playing the wrong players…doh!
I’m thinking we show up flat and get beat due to a bad shooting night and continued lack of defense and rebounding.
PMac continues his hopeful swan song year on the same note he started; uninspired.
Yea I want the players the fans want to play. I don’t even care if they win and no matter how bad the frosh play they need to stay on the floor.
Well, my point is Fran has been sitting his better players Harding, in favor of less effective ones, Patrick.
So in this case there's multiple reasons to lean into younger players.
Quite frankly this whole team is irratic as hell, EVERY player. I’ve had games were Harding impressed me and those he hasn’t.
I’m honestly not sure what you guys see that I don’t, but there isn’t one player who deserves anything on this team.
Tony & Peyton are likely the best and they too are hit & miss.

Jess Settles on the mothership call tonight!
Might just very well be the last time the Hawks play - until mid-November, that is - this year, so I guess I can sacrifice some of my time to watch.
Until it gets to be just terribly obvious the Hawks are gonna lose - and it most likely happened because PMac and Krikke got way too much time and were pretty much non-factors in that span. And who knows which TonyP we'll end up with tonight.
Or you could start another game thread where realism isn't allowed.
Sorry, I meant "negativity".
For any IT issues, please page @Moral on either Line 1 or Line 2.
Offense is often erratic, which is why it's important to have adequate defense and rebounding to fall back on, which is why we don't do well in the real tourney.
This why I never understood the lack of emphasis on defense.
No matter how much of an "off night" teams can have on offense, you can ALWAYS play good defense.
What's the latest on attendance. I suspect there will be a lot of Kansans there.
Why play defense like Iowa State??? Just so we can get screwed out of number one seed in the ncaa tourney? I’ll pass.😊🤦♂️
Not sure ISU deserved a one seed, but they sure didn't get an easy position to move to the final four. Illannoy is a coin flip and UConn is the most consistent top team.
"We're # 65, we're #65"...doesn't have the same ring to it as "We're # 1, We're # 1".
While I obviously like it much more when the Hawks win vs the alternative, I also learned from the past two games that excitement and hopes should not be raised.
We'll get what we get.
We'll get what we get.
If I had a dollar for every time I said that, I could buy a new Escalade.
ahhh...no and non-paid parent playing their kid is quite different situation anyway.
You don't give much of a chit about Basketball, but seemingly have a mission on defending coaching staffs in football and basketball. ME, if Fran won something special, then I'd shut up complaining about him. He gets paid a lot of money to be a public figure, don't sweat it worrying about his poor feelings.
Was watching Howard vs Wagner. Wagner's physicality made Howard look soft. Got the split-screen going now.
I'm watching Cornell/OSU too.
How did I get to this place in my life?!!

I too loved that brand of Hawkeye basketball. If I remember correctly they averaged 100 plus per game because of defense and offense and no 3 point shot. What a team!!!
Don't know why I'm bothering.
Its like a literal pickup game at the Y. Both teams coming down and chucking threes with ~24 seconds still on the shot clock.
Yep I don't see the concern. K State is awful on the road. This will be an easy win and start our run to the sweet 16 that I guaranteed a little over a week ago.
There's literally almost zero defense in this game.
And defense was the basis of OSU's winning streak after Holtmann's firing.
