*****Official Iowa vs. Nova rd. 2 game thread*****

[cruhawk]

A guy named "Archie-emeffin'-giancono" (only on the East Coast would that be something you wouldn't laugh at) is said to be the "heart and soul" of this team. He isn't any better an athlete than Baer.
So let's quit with the "lack of athleticism" bs.

 

[laidbackdude2011]

As long as Fran makes progress, no way he's gone. That's the Barta method. Barta needs to go. But since he has a leash on this board, I'm sure this will be deleted

 

[DakotaDan]

Only chance is to shoot all 3's from here on. Much higher percentage shot for these guys anyway.

 

[Mohawkeye]

A team of guys that have choked in close games for 4 years. Baer only one that is mentally strong

It was time for Clemmons, Gesell, woody to move on. Uthoff at least was skilled an was a good sidekick.

We get a clean slate next year. Sad to see the seniors go out like this, but a fresh start will be good.

 

[Bulldogs1974]

Kriener will be head and shoulders better than Woody.

Hard not to

 

[Herkmeister]

Only down 23, come on!!!!!!

 

[HawkLogic]

Please leave Wagner in for the rest of the game.

Playing a guy that can match Villanova quickness. too obvious

 

[gohawkz]

Baer is probably the least athletic guy on the court, but he's been far and away our best and most tuned in player.

He seems like the only one who actually showed up to play. Without him this abortion would be even worse.

 

[laidbackdude2011]

That #3 ranking added 2-3 more years to Frans job security

 

[TheRealHerky]

Uthoff improving his WNBA draft status today.

 

[printsit]

This board makes me laugh when i feel like throwing up.. thank you

 

[bravehawks1]

That's not exactly saying a lot.

Won't matter when the coaching staff doesn't know how to use a post player or improve them over four years. Unless Fran recruits guys like Ulis, they will not get better under his lack of coaching

 

[stillh8unlv]

I don't know what championship Uthoff has to go win yet as he's liked to point out lately, but it sure as hell ain't the NCAA tournament one

 

[KeyWest Tim]

CBS will learn to never start the day with us again.

You may remember this next time you bitch about "poor" national attention.

 

[Rustys Dad]

Yes. This game says WAY more about Iowa than it does the opponent.

You hit the nail on the head.

He's taller than Gesell, as athletic as Gesell, and he can actually make 3pt shots, finish at rim, and make FTs and doesn't have yips. I think that makes him way better.

 

[ZumaHawk]

Why leave Wagner in? So the people on this forum can drag him thru the mud too? People on this forum are pathetic & hate everything about Iowa Hawkeyes. Quite sad really.

Yeah, I get tired of that crap. Baer looks pretty athletic to me.

 

[basketballfan333]

Uthoff padding his stats. Amazing what

I hope u r kidding. Baer resembles a 6th grade underdeveloped kid.

 

[IowaHawkeyeFBnBB4Life]

Iowa desperately needs the athleticism that the 2015 class had and 2016 class has. Will it make a difference? No idea...

meh everybody is at church. Nobody saw it.

 

[HawkLogic]

At least he would start on a championship team. The rest of seniors, no.

 

[hawksauce]

God damn Wagner got up for that rebound.

 

[fecal particulate]

Hard not to

Woodbury is 7-1 but has no presence down low offensively or defensively. I think everybody's had enough.

 

[HawkLogic]

Okay we got Baer and Wagner. Two role players, mentally strong. We still need a guard that can create and finish.

 

[IowaHawkeyeFBnBB4Life]

Fran should take Uthoff and Clemmons out and get Williams and Fleming in there

 

[HawkLogic]

Woodbury is 7-1 but has no presence down low offensively or defensively. I think everybody's had enough.

Solid backup on a good team.

 

[KeyWest Tim]

The only way we were going to the Sweet 16 is if we'd gotten ISU's draw. We hit a wall against these higher-seeded teams in the 2nd round.

No.

The only way is if we were to buy a ticket.

 

[cg8284]

Look at that Uthoff. When you play like you actually have a sack and take it to them you draw a foul.

 

[NashvilleHawk]

Recruiting matters, folks. We don't need anymore "diamonds in the rough". If Fran can't consistently get Top 100 guys, Barta needs to start the process of getting him out of here.

Did someone say Top 100 guys?
Signed,
A. Woodbury and M. Gasell

Redshirting Moss if he is skilled was mistake.

 

[longliveCS40]

No, because he's giving good effort unlike the seniors who gave up a month ago.

Sorry if you can't handle the truth about this team.

 

[basketballfan333]

just think. In a couple of months this board will crown a couple guys all American from their play in the prime time league and all will be well again.

 

[Johnny Uthoff]

I don't remember the situation we had when Olaseni was a frosh. Someone mentioned on here how much smarter it'd have been to RS him his freshman year. He would've really helped out our interior D this year.

 

[HawkLogic]

making a run when there is no pressure on these guys.

 

[HawkLogic]

Fran played him like 1 game worth of minutes, so yeah bonehead moved by Fran. Guess he didn't know what he had.

Flemming sitting, Ellinghaus sitting. I think Fran is starting to realize you can't win with those type of players.

 

[stillh8unlv]

If they could've hit a couple three's they could hold their head up and make this respectable

 

[PasoHawk]

Hahaha. That's actually pretty funny!

 

[HawkLogic]

gesell and clemmons will still be around for PTL and tear up the league.

 

[Hawktagonapus]

Nobody actually thought we would do much better than this in November. We just had a lucky run in January that made people think we were better than we are.
