Longtime listener, first time caller: Remind me again why we didn’t go hard for a center in the portal???

[Roy L Fuchs]

WTF!!!! Sure could have helped today. You can’t count on 3’s falling every game.

If it isn't the resident poop pants resurfacing after the first loss to spout his wisdom

No decent ones wanted to play for Fran, at least that's what I hear on here...

 

[bansheexyz]

I'm almost certain we pursued Liam Robbins, but he ****ed off to Vanderbilt to play in the NIT. Rebraca was the best we could get bro.

I have enjoyed Filip this year and think he certainly helped the team but he was not good today

 

[Chewback]

So who was there? Not many.

 

[CO_hawk]

Should have been scouring Europe or Asia for one if nothing in the portal, in hindsight.

 

[HellaHawk]

We had the best center of all time last year and still lost in second round. So of course people complained about our poor guard play and hoped that would be fixed this year. Then we have a poor shooting today and people want a better center….
If we shoot like we did against Northwestern, we beat any team in country. With today’s shooting, lose to a 12 seed, though still could have won if we get a few more calls.

He was good in the bt tourney, but today he looked lost on two inbounds plays guarding no one, plus the horrible and1 where he didn't follow through with his foul.

I thought Rebraca over the last month or so, played hard, was Iowa's best rebounder and provided more offensive then he had provided during the first few months. He got better as the season went along. Is he a center, no but he did what he was asked of him.
We'll see how he is used next year going forward. I hope he's used as a backup to Riley Mulvey or a backup to one of our forwards, that's my hope for next year.

Austin Ash needed his scholly

well put and agreed, I think he is a good 6th or 7th guy off the bench for solid minutes - not sure he would start on most BT teams not named Northwestern, but he may the best Fran has next year if the Big O or Mulvey don't blossom....

Do you know we didn’t?

Because f*** Wisconsin, that's why....

Record number of players in the portal. There were guys.

Nobody was getting Liam but his uncle and vandy. My question was almost everyone knew that so why did Fran waste his time?
