*****Official Iowa at Iowa State game thread*****

[Hawkfan_08]

Congrats to Iowa St. Well coached team and played with a lot of heart

 

[Sett1997]

So how did Dewey Oxberger roll into Ames and teach how to play defense in year one and we still struggle?

Wicked D.

 

[LarryMullenJr.]

If Fran doesn’t use the word embarrassing at least a dozen times in post game he should resign.
He should anyway but Jesus

 

[Chishawk1425]

I’m shocked Iowa fans were confident about this game. The writing was clearly on the wall this would happen.

we were picked 11th in the league for reason

congrats clones. You destroyed a terrible Iowa team.

We are bad. Oh well we expected that going in and the pitiful schedule early led to false expectations.

 

[longliveCS40]

Without Keegan scoring 25, this team will lose. No scorers and atrocious rebounding.

 

[BioHawk]

Welp. Maybe they'll make it to the NIT.

 

[CarterHall]

Waiting for another team ranked in the 250s

We get a few more tomato cans before the end of the year. 🤣

 

[LetsGoHawks83]

Just ****ing forfeit you tools. You obviously didn't want to play tonight

JBo was too busy thinking about what to write on his shoes

 

[HawkRugged17]

 

[ChuckBarkley]

We just can’t handle pressure situations

 

[HotelAlphaWilcoKilo]

Fran will get thrown out of the game tonight…guaranteed

 

[mjmx3]

one and done is the pattern tonight

 

[WSC72]

If ISU holds on what’s the chances of someone from ISU handing their shoes to Bohannon

 

[QChawks]

 

[NevadaHawk]

Good night gentlemen.

 

[mjmx3]

get that flop sh*t out of here

 

[Hawksfor3]

Fraschilla: "They've grabbed Iowa by the throat and haven't let up!" At least they haven't grabbed our sacs like Clone teams of the past.

 

[Sett1997]

If ISU holds on what’s the chances of someone from ISU handing their shoes to Bohannon

Oh, they are going to hold on.

 

[LetsGoHawks83]

We just can’t handle pressure situations

Hung with Purdue and Virginia just fine

But Frans teams continue to fail at defense and rebounding

 

[QChawks]

I’m out

fûck this team

 

[HungryHawk]

If ISU holds on what’s the chances of someone from ISU handing their shoes to Bohannon

I mean, none of them were even cyclones when it happened

 

[WSC72]

Oh, they are going to hold on.

I am ever the optimist

 

[Sett1997]

Humiliating. Fran has us on the right track though. Lol

 

[kcgolfer]

Too much dribbling and not enough passing. Continues a horrible week for Iowa sports.

And, BF is still employed by Iowa. Jeeezzz!!!

 

[Franisdaman]

everything they are throwing up is going in

 

[LarryMullenJr.]

At least we’re being out-rebounded better than two-to-one

 

[HawkLogic]

I’ve been trying to figure out since last year why Connor gets minutes. The same question pertains to Joe T playing over Ulis and JBo over Perkins.

Last season was Fran’s best chance to do something of consequence and his stubbornness in playing “his guys” and flat out refusal to stress defense and hold guys accountable ensured it was more of the same come March.

I would say I can’t believe this guy has lasted as long as he has at Iowa, but then I remember who the AD is.

Fran has his fans on this board who think he can do no wrong.

Fran thinking that you can defend with a zone defense the way kids shoot the 3ball these days is his biggest
flaw.

 

[longliveCS40]

Keep playing zone, Fran. It's working awesome! They are making threes and easier for them to get rebounds. Great coaching decision. Top notch.

 

[Bigfann1966]

He can’t coach defense or rebounding. Can’t make a shot…going to be a long year. Keep scheduling junk teams and running up scores and then you play a real team and get spanked! This is Iowa….

 

[Hawksfor3]

This might be the most blatantly biased commentary crew I’ve ever heard

💩

 

[Sett1997]

Hung with Purdue and Virginia just fine

But Frans teams continue to fail at defense and rebounding

Virginia just lost to JMU and Purdue to Rutgers.

 

[Mitch122]

Lol at fraschilla calling Jackson an NBA point guard. I understand fraschilla is a big 12 guy, but get real. Jackson is trash

 

[longliveCS40]

Keegan got points. Yay

 

[kwik44]

Does anyone in coaching circles rave about Fran McCaffrey?

 

[ChuckBarkley]

Only person to show up in every important game this year is Perkins

 

[WSC72]

Lol at fraschilla calling Jackson an NBA point guard. I understand fraschilla is a big 12 guy, but get real. Jackson is trash

Didn’t he say back up NBA point guard?

 

[mjmx3]

i'm okay with that foul. just should have drawn blood

 

[IllQChawk]

Don't care if Iowa wins another game. We're seeing what a real coach can do. I'm done with Fran and his staff of old farts of which none can coach defense or rebounding.

 

[LarryMullenJr.]

I’ve been done with Fran for about three years and this game just adds to the desire for change.

 

[Sett1997]

Does anyone in coaching circles rave about Fran McCaffrey?

They laugh at him like they do Kirk's offense.
