Sometimes...

It just isn’t your night.

Have you ever seen a team get that hot? Yes. Because it was their night. Hawks just got caught in the perfect storm. I would love to press restart and maybe 3/10 we make it close/win.

Hell, they beat MSU by almost 30 points and held them to under 45
 
Relax Francis..... four games in ten days with a trip out to the East Coast mixed in, will take the legs out of even the best. It was just Purdue’s night. Save your bellyaching when we drop one at home.
How old are you? Is name calling something you feel the need to do just because you do not agree with someone else's opinion. Grow up and try to at least act like an adult.
 
Purdue was white hot, but really bad defense contributed a great deal. very bad effort by Iowa. When this team craps the bed they really crap the bed. If they are not embarrassed by this effort things are going to go south quickly. A good team does not get beat like this and I do not care where the game is played.
One thing for sure with this group of young men if Iowa loses it will not be because they are soft or not putting out their best effort. Tough and heady group of players.

Francis try and be consistent in your posts otherwise you just sound silly

I am consistent Francis and against Purdue they played like crap. If anybody sounds silly it would be you and your inability to be civil. I'm done with you get lost.
 
Take your frustrations out on Nebraska Saturday and everything will be fine. It will still only go down as one loss. Now, let Nebraska hang around and God forbid- win...then we got some problems.

Every team has a game like that every year where nothing goes right and everything goes in for the other team. Lets just hope they got it out of the way now instead the first round in March.

Monday you post “what a great bunch of young men”. Wednesday you say what an embarrassment the team is.

Hawkeyes win DewHawk is a big fan!
Hawkeyes lose DewHawk ready to pounce on players for “no effort”.

The effort was there; however they were tired and not fighting through picks or boxing out.Purdue also dropped threes like rain.

They have four players (McCaffrey, Garza, Wieskamp, and Fredrick) playing 35 minutes a game, so it it understandable with four games in ten days they would be gassed.

After they beat Nebraska on Saturday I am sure you will be back posting more of your shallow platitudes. See you on the bandwagon.

I don’t want to get in this fight but you posted the effort was there but they failed to fight through picks and didn’t box out. To me that means they didn’t put forth the effort to accomplish this.

I did contradict myself didn’t I? Tired legs = bad execution. Effort against Illinois was outstanding and I think it took a lot out of them. They were just a step slower than Purdue Wednesday.

I was as disappointed as anyone about the Purdue game as I did not see it coming. But rather than take my frustration out by beating up a team that has overachieved all year, I took mine out on DewHawk.

Made me feel better

I am not sure what your problem is other than you just want to be obstinate. But nothing I said was inconsistent or "pouncing on players". Reading comprehension might be something you need to work on versus trying to twist other's words,
1) I said Purdue was a bad effort and I did not say they did not give their best effort. If you thing it was a great effort, well..........
2) I said "If they are not personally embarrassed by this game things will go south". I can assure you there is not any competitive person who would not have been embarrassed getting beaten like the Purdue game.
3) As far as a fair weather fan comment you are being utterly ludicrous. I have been an Iowa fan for over 60 years and never gave up on any football/basketball team or quit following/watching them regardless of their record at the time.. I supported/attended games thru 20 years of losing football seasons.
Look I get it you just want to subject everyone else with your awesome correctness, so I will block you and you can research and quote some other unsuspecting soul. Sadly, you must be a pretty miserable human being. Get well soon!
 
Get beat by 25 plus points is okay. There is no reason why you can't defend the 3pt line better. Purdue got 20 3pt shot attempts in 1st half alone and most of them weren't contested.

Fran stuck in the zone and he doubled inside players and left open shooters. Purdue was shooting HORSE. You can't say you didn't see a difference in defense from Purdue side vs Iowa side. JoeW and Fredrick had defenders in their jocks the entire game.

Sure flush the game, but you gotta play better defense.
Still, very few really good shooters go 19 for 30 something from three playing horse or with NOBODY guarding them. :eek:

This board is pretty transparent so word twisting is not needed. You just have a poopy diaper because you were called out on one of your post.

Since it appears you have taken the high road on this discussion I am certain you will allow me the last word.
