*****Nebraska vs Iowa Game Thread*****

This is as embarrassing as I could possibly get. Carver stinks no one is there. Holy Christ. How as an AD could you show up and say “yep this is what need”. Then again same with football. So never mind. Ice cream is good.

Gonna be hard to win without Thelwell. Payton still off and no post play from Freeman. Dix can't beat them by himself. Fran needs to get Freeman involved, or this isn't going to end well.
 
Unless the Hawks show a quick burst of something here quick, I might not be back for the 2nd half.

Tired of

Will Fran make it to the end of the season before Beth acts?

She'll wait for him to do the right thing. Remember the guy in prison in the Sopranos who it was suggested he take a nice relaxing bath and then slit his wrists?
Beth's going to play that scene for Fran.
 
Pick out the starters:

One guy has 16 points (6-9 shooting) 4 assists, 2 steals, 2 rbs. He has over half of our points.

Another guy has 4 pts and 5 rebounds

Another guy has 3 points with 1 made 3.

Another guy has 0 points but 3 rebounds.

Another guy is 0-2 with 2 turnovers, 2 fouls.
 
So Thelwell is playing because hes black? I mean just say out right it you racist peice of shit.

I've always liked you until now....wtf is wrong with people.
Iowa had a lineup with skinny, non-muscular guys that happen to be white.

You get to call other people piece of shit and you are taking the high ground?

Thelwell isn't playing because he's hurt and Fran has a Walkon out there because he doesn't have enough scholarship
true guards.

Fran is completely checked out. Like the fire is long gone. Has no interest or investment in the program at this point. He knows it’s his last year. Beth probably knows this too. Fran will be spending most of next winter in Indy with Caitlin, Connor, and Jack. Hope Beth has a replacement already in mind.,
 
How am I racist. He ran off Clemons and Perkins. He played his kids over Murrays. I'm racist?
Yes when you see racism when there is none. Thelwell is injured. He isn't benched because he's black. You're the one focused on his skin color rather any of the other disperate reasons he could be sitting. So yes. That makes you a racist. By definition.

Remember when Fran came in originally, it was about "making Iowa MAD AGAIN!"

Fran can't even work up the effort to be the slightest bit miffed this season.

This team acts like they are not coached and really would rather be someplace else. Something is radically wrong with Iowa BBall. Even Dix is frustrated.

Dix looks like he got fouled on that fast break layup and after the no call, he pouted a little instead of trying to race back on defense. He and Freeman are about the only guys that make shots, so I can understand the Frustration but these guys have to play harder. If Little Hoiberg can see the court and get steals and contribute, Iowa guys can play a lot harder than they do.

Sad to see that KIngsbury is now one of of our top guys. Not very talented physically. The two Sandfort brothers don't make enough shots to justify their slowness on defense. I'd play Pryce over Payton at this point. Payton is washed up and needs to make shots or sit.
 
I wish I could ask Fran - and get honest answers back - as to why he doesn't make his guys play defense, or rebound for 40 minutes. Also, why it seems like he has no desire to be there most of the time during games this season.
It's easier and more fun to coach offense in basketball. Fran enjoys coaching offense... he should let someone else on staff coach defense.
