Fouls: 10 to 5
Free throw attempts: 3 to 12
Gotta love the Carver home court advantage

Down 15 and large part coaching. Fran needs to trust his super start and play him with 2 fouls. These lineup combinations are just head scratching. No rebraca for 12 min. JoeT sits for 10. But don't worry a McCaffery has been in there all game with PMac and Jbo leading the way for minutes played.
Does Josh o sit on a recliner during practice. The guy has been out there 4 minutes and he looks like he just sprinted his 6th 400m dash
Kris was playing well until he fouled out too
This. Fran is terrible. Time for him to go.
HEY FRAN 🚨 NEWSFLASH 🚨
In the second half play CMac ZERO minutes. Play JBo ZERO minutes.
Don't sit Joe T for 10 minutes for no reason.
Play Kris Murray the whole half.
This is common sense stuff, my dude.

Iowa guards just aren’t very good. They have spurts but none of them are good consistently.
Fran fatigue is very real.
Agree, but they simply aren't winning if the two Murrays are sitting major minutes in the game. They might pick up a third foul in the first half, but your only chance of staying within shouting distance is to play your best players. Fran voluntarily fouled them out after they got 2 fouls. It's idiotic.
And allowing the opposing center to just stand in the lane defending one of Iowa's guards is just sad. What the hell? In no other situation would this be permitted. This is like watching playing time allocated in a youth league game where the coach's kid gets to play a lot no matter what.
Keagan must play every minute until the end or fouling out.
Pmac has been alright on offense though but yea… I don’t know how he doesn’t see it. It does NOT matter if you avoid the 3rd foul if you let the lead get beyond comeback.
Agree but play AU and JT together. Need their defense and attack and FFS Connor go play baseball. In a month the baseball team will be heading south so do yourself a favor and get yourself ready for baseball season!
someone care to tell me the finer points on what the crap happened on the last possession? The're 6.7 seconds left on the clock and you pass it to a guy who's standing 3/4ths court away from the basket?
They are doing none of the things they did over at Purdue, doubling the post, getting in scramble situations, etc. I don't get it at all.
Agreed. But you have to play your best lineup and have to make this a game at home.
Glad to see Fran's recruiting is paying off. Other than Purdue being better at every position on the floor including their bench, there isn't much of a gap.
It’s kinda sad - I feel bad for him though I shouldn’t.
Just can’t hang with the speed of the game.
I agree...we don't know if Sandfort will make his threes, but he is a pure shooter and he defends and rebounds....go with a the younger player..JBO kind of looks like Lickliter's son out there....just wasn't blessed with size and athleticism to be shooting guard.
No problem with that from Fran but he's wildly inconsistent with this. Connor, Patrick and JBo can take all the wild shots they want and never sit for them.
I think the elephant in the room l, which I was called out for bringing up, is the offense is struggling in half court sets.
Can't get turnovers so we have to score.

Ulis hasn't played very well. Not sure why they didn't have the ball in Joe T's hands.
Just posted the same. It's a joke playing Jbo or Connor. Put the most athletic guards we have out there. Any duo of Joe, Ulis, Perkins and Sandfort are better than any duo that includes Jbo or Connor.
I don’t disagree. I’d like to see Sandfort log major minutes in the second half at Connor’s expense. He’s gotten some good looks and has at least provided some scoring. I like his defensive ability as well and decisively passes the ball versus holding it like Connor does. Bottom line is we need to up the defensive pressure drastically and take the ball to the rim on offense. Make Purdue rim defenders make a play or foul. We get into zones where we settle for too many jumpers and aren’t a good shooting team
