Start them. At this point get our best shooters on the floor. And defensively we can’t really do much worse.
Rebraca, Kris, Tony, Dix, Sandfort

It's a wonder that Dix is playing for Fran. The kid actually tries to stay with his guy on defense.
We could try getting McCaffery Dix off the floor. That would be a great start.
I can’t wait for the mccaffery kids to graduate and I hope the young one goes somewhere else
all nice kids, but Fran mismanaged them for 6 years now

All the McCafferys need to go. Time to start afresh.
Josh Dix played 6 minutes today and outscored Connor, and matched him in rebounds and assists.. yet 6 damn minutes. Total mismanagement
But Connor passes so well into the post to Luka!
Hard to figure how many games we would have lost without CMac. Have you watched any games?
That may have been true early, but last 6 weeks Connor has had 1-2 good games, bunch of ok games, 4-5 dreadful games. Completely fair to think his minutes should be reduced.
Now that he is no longer a shot threat we have reverted to how it was last year with teams sagging off. Ball sticking vs moving.
You mean like starting Connor ahead of Keegan Murray 2 years ago and then starting Connor ahead of Kris Murray Last year?
all the while Keegan and then Kris were #2 in team analytics , Keegan being #2 to National POY Garza and then Kris being #2 on team behind lottery pick Keegan?
my lord, i appreciate all Iowa fans, but Connor starting ahead of the Murray’s Is indefensible

I still can’t believe people try to justify it. Maybe like the first part of the 2020-2021 season when Keegan was a true freshman, I could see him not starting, but after that new year, it’s wild he wasn’t getting 30 minutes a game.
I’m talking about wins this year. Hard to argue he was the glue this year. Who should have started ahead of him?
Really? Today he got in and had a turnover right away. You must not have much of a basketball IQ to not see Conner’s value. Since you are going back years who was better at getting the ball to Garza? Connor leads the nation in assists to turnover ratio. Dix will be a nice player in years to come.
You’ve got to be kidding. Dix has barely played all year. We are used to Connor disappearing in games when it matters. PMac actually plays really well in big games.
I say fire them and hire all the 5 star recruits from whoever else is f***ing recruiting them.
Like I’ve said over, and over and over again, I dont think you can play 2 point guards who aren’t scoring threats, I have repeatedly recommended splitting their minutes, giving the balance to Dix, and Sandfort.
but you can’t wait until your behind in a tournament game, it must be a strategy to play, sandfort, Dix, Ogundele, Bowen on a nightly basis.
the glue guy has regressed to his career mean, right along with this teams record 19-12, an NIT record.
CMAC is solid role player off bench. PMAC is guy off bench to play offense. Neither is starting material on good teams. It isn't the two kid's fault their Father gets such an ego rush out of seeing his boys play for him that he screws other kids he's recruited. No excuse for PMAC/CMAC playing over either of the Murray boys. Kris had to watch 100% from bench his freshman year and 50% of his junior year while PMAC didn't play any defense. Fran didn't do his job which is Maximize wins, play the best player, treat everyone equitably. Instead he's been out to Maximize McCaffery' for last 6 years.
Jack can go elsewhere. He'll transfer back to play for Fran when other coach's demand defense or make him aa part time player. At best he's a clone of that Hauser kid for MSU...great shooter, can't play defense...Fran has a knack for finding those guys on recruiting trail, he doesn't need to go to dinner table.
The three kids might be great young men....Fran has a character flaw and its on him.
