Only one more loss to endure

[LetsGoHawks83]

Shout out to those that have stuck it out over this rollercoaster of a season. Never seen such a Jekyll and Hyde team.

Maybe we can taste victory just one more time.... Not asking a lot.

 

[Hawk_4shur]

I'm afraid this team has only one way to win - shoot 40% from 3.

 

[CookyMonster]

You try to be optimistic then your quickly slapped back into reality watching Connor McCaffery drilling the side of the rim and backboard on his 3 point attempts.

 

[43Beels]

No fire Fran today

 

[vgshwk]

They allowed osu to play slow in the 1st half instead of playing uptempo for the entire game.

 

[kwik44]

4 of 17 from 3. These are starting to become more of the norm.

 

[gojojo]

Never seen such a Jekyll and Hyde team.

I think you just described every Fran team.

 

[Chishawk1425]

I recommend benching when watching us play. Ripped off several more reps easily.

 

[iahawks10]

I’d trade another year of eligibility for Rebraca for the entire roster.

 

[OutbackBowl2017]

4 of 17 from 3. These are starting to become more of the norm.

And 11 turnovers. Fran has a week to take his zone defense to Syracuse or ND. Good luck to him.

Most teams.... But this seems to be the worst... But maybe recency bias

 

[HawkLogic]

No more Murrays to carry most of the burden.

I would guess we are sub 0.500 in B1G play next year and miss NCAA tourney. No worries, long leash for Fran before there is a hot seat.

 

[Chishawk1425]

I want Sandfort on the team and Perkins otherwise yes.

Barta is sure to give one and done Fran a raise.

Sandfort I can get with. Needs to improve greatly on his defense. Needs to be aggressive on offense. Over 11:00 minutes in the second half with 0 3pt attempts.

First half he got hosed beyond description.

Perkins, I was a huge fan. His play today had me questioning a lot of things.

 

[QChawks]

team is trash

something we already knew

 

[Chishawk1425]

team is trash

something we already knew

So we over achieved?

 

[QChawks]

So we over achieved?

Kinda

The win total was what I expected but the ability to lose to inferior teams I did not expect

The writing was on the wall with unacceptable EIU loss

 

[43Beels]

Fire Fran today

 

[83Hawk]

Knowing our luck the Hawks will play the first game Thursday, lose, and be the first team out. The tournament will be over for us fans by 1:00 CST.

What fun.

Let's hope not!

Yeah, but he only took 2.

 

[TheRealHerky]

At least Fran gets to coach his kid's basketball team for one more game.

 

[DewHawk]

4 of 17 from 3. These are starting to become more of the norm.

well, if you look at the players one by one Iowa really has two streaky 3 point shooters (KM and PS). Oh yeah and PM two games a year. So, why are they bombing threes, great coaching.

 

[HawkLogic]

The rest of B1G will insist that Jack go to Iowa...maybe Jack will be a better than 30 percent career 3pt shooter so step up over his brothers, but he probably doesn't play defense.


Nepoism is one of Fran's Kryptonites...if he's got one of his boys eligible, his kid is going to play and he's not going to recruit someone that would force him to sit his kid on the bench. IF Fran accidentally recruits someone better than his kids, like Kris Murray, he's just not play them or will play them part time as backup and still start his kid. How both Murrays didn't both start from Day1 is the reason Fran never made a run with the Murrays.

Jack is much better than his 2 brothers. Hope Wieskamps brother joins him.

No fire Fran today

Yes fire him, but we all know this gutless AD and some fans are perfectly good with being mediocre. So it will never happen.

 

[Legs94]

So we over achieved?

The big 10 isn’t very good and we lost back to back games to bottom of the barrel teams. If you are ok with that, then you are part of the problem.

Did we over achieve by definition or not? Yes or No.

People on here have been saying this every year for the last 4 years since Tyler Cook and Moss left.

Fran will win his share of regular season games just like every year.

No

 

[Chishawk1425]

No

Because?

 

[amahawk]

I’d trade another year of eligibility for Rebraca for the entire roster.

He is the one consistent player.

 

[WaterTower]

I'm afraid this team has only one way to win - shoot Make them play half court offense.

lol thanks for walking me away from the hawkeye basketball ledge

Always have wondered if we had a shot blocking 7 footer with Rebraca playing the power forward what the team would have been like.

My first March madness 4 day party was in 2006. We know what happened Friday at 12pm.

 

[TombItMayConcern]

My suggestion is to watch the Iowa women. It is much more enjoyable.

 

[Buffalo43]

Honestly do they deserve to be in the NCAA? Last year absolutely but this year

 

[Chishawk1425]

It is a more polished men's team. Their D will still be their undoing.
