*****Minnesota vs Iowa Game Thread*****

Fran is just not a great overall basketball coach. Outstanding in drawing up out of bounds plays, I enjoy the up and down style some, but no defense, horrible rotation management, and has no idea how to stop a run. Time to move on.
He'll be gone in another 3-4 years.

C'mon, one bad year out of 8 and he's going down in flames?
Next year we will rebound....
Just looking at how Fran is reacting to the beat down. He shows as much emotion as the fan's in the stands. If he hasn't checked out, then he's sick and shouldn't be on the bench. He's as dead as a door nail.
 
Freeman is the only one playing for Iowa
Freeman is athletic and a fierce competitor. Helped that Payne got foul trouble.

I think Payton tries hard and has skils, but he gets himself intro trouble tring to do too much.

Perkins is having a bad game. Dix not doing a lot, but he rarely hurts the team even when he's having an off game.

Garcia was 7/8 and 18 pts in 1st half. The post defense outside of freeman is horrendous.

Freeman fouls. Only his first!

Next year is a long ways away. I'd be more excited about next year if Fran would commit to playing Dix, Dembele and Harding more. Patrick and Krikke can sit on the bench.

Part of Fran's problem as a coach is he thinks PMAC and Krikke are good players even though they only play half the game.

It doesn't matter how Fran plays since he doesn't value defense.

Watching a 20pt beatdown at home...disgusting.
 
Owen Freeman is going to have a phenomenal Iowa career.

He’s about the only player on Iowa’s current roster I would take.

Perkins and Dix are okay. Sandfort can get hot but I just see him as a role player.

Otherwise, there just isn’t much talent on this team.

Freeman is very good. Perkins is prett good. Dix among the native Iowan guys does play defense.

Sandfort can make baskets and rebound. What he needs is some coaching --he gets into trouble taking too
difficult shots and then the misses affect his game.

The defense is off the charts horrible.

Just wish we could have landed Christie..rolling meadows kid who Minny beats us for...fran cannot get athletic guards often enough.
