***Official Iowa at Minnesota Game Thread***

If we pulled all the players that played shitty we'd be left with JBo and Moss and nobody else.

How many errors Kriener committed in his time in on both sides of the ball was more than any guy out there. But agree others not playing well. But Fran needs to pull him before then.
 
Minnesota isnt very good, this is disappointing.

The shot blocking rattled the hawks, cant let that happen. Kreiner and Cook both had chances to flush it on their big but got scared and didnt xatch clean.

We need to dunk one right in big boys grill to get the confidence back.

Again Jok looks like hes on a different page than the rest of the team and really is having a negative impact.
 
I'm not a basketball coach but why do we help out and leave a man open every time someone drives to basket?? They always are late to recover and the opposition hoists up wide open jumpers.. I've seen this defensive strategy all season and it ends badly a lot.. I say stop helping on the drive when the other teams is getting wide open looks and knocking down 3's!
same reason they continue to throw sissy little half court passes that the opp picks off w/ little effort....
 
Amazing how big of a difference our man to man vs zone has been tonight. Getting wide open shot after shot vs zone. Hate every dead ball Fran opts for zone even when we are getting torched out of it.

Because when your teamates gets beat off the dribble you either help or leave the ball handler open, which obviously is not an option.

No, the refs have been horrible. This is the first game I've complained about the refs all year, can't speak for anyone else. You need glasses.

You're one of those guys that want to see whistles every possession then. This has been the best refs I've seen all year. The one thing I was worried about with this game was having the refs call the typical phantom calls for the home team, but so far they've been letting them play which is good.

I had to come here just to make sure I wasn't the only one noticing how terrible Kreiner is playing. He plays really well every once in awhile, but then the other 90% of the time it looks like he's never played basketball before.
 
I've felt all along this was a bad match up, but Coffey was a big part of that. We've done a nice job on him but Springs and Mason are nailing the three's. Lynch and Murphy are playing out of there minds.

We are doing a better (not good) job on the defensive boards. The only way we get this one is if we start shooting the three ball great.
 
He has 3 turnovers and 2 points. I don't know what he's doing out there.

He needs to get into the flow of this offense and keep the ball moving. He and the team will be better for it. The same cut to the top of the key and holding the ball isn't working

If you didn't put a name in that post, I'd have guessed Dom Uhl.

The refs are not the reason. 2 of Minny's guys are playing out of their ass and too many Iowa players are playing like ass.
 
Play JBo, Moss, Wagner, and Baer as much as they are capable this half.

Hopefully find a couple others to get something going too... Brady with some 3s... maybe
 
It just seems like every other road loss this year. Iowa fights like hell to score two points. Their opponent has wide open looks from three.
