Simply the best ever and I'm heartbroken you are done at Iowa. Special memories and will be cherished for all time.
Thank you Luka

Absolute treasure! Was a blast watching him
He deserved a lot better ending than this. Really sucks.
He deserved better. He earned the right to have better. Weezy was the only one who tried to give him help.
He came back to avenge 2019 and the hell they all have been through the past year this really ****ing sucks
Thanks Luka! Might be the only player I’ve truly choked up a bit about when he left the court for the final time. Good luck in the future buddy!
You are the best Luka! Thanks for being a Hawkeye. I don't think we will another player like you.
Same. Amazing the respect Oregon gave him too. Says it all. This one hurts.
Once in a lifetime talent for a program like Iowa makes it extra hard to see the program walk off the floor in the second round.
GREATEST OF ALL TIME.
#1 All Time scorer
His jersey will hang in the rafters FOREVER.

A tremendous player and king of the Hawkeye hill. He gave everything he had, every game. He gave us fans his blood, sweat and tears.
You get a like for that Fran.
Yes this sucks. I remember the 1999 run like it was yesterday. We had UCONN down with 10 min to go and they eventually won it all. Haven't been back since and knowing how hard they all worked through the hell of Covid for it to end like this again is very hard to take.
My god, we really blew it.
65 years, for those bad at math.

This one hurts the most of all the past 2 decades of disappointment..
The 🐐 and we are going to miss him! Thank you Luka!
my god, you have a talent like that, you gotta get to the Elite 8, at minimum
2 x 1st Team All American
2 X National POY
2 x B1G POY
and we have nothing to show for it
Is Fran apologizing to him in that emotional farewell for totally screwing this game up?
Playing great late in the first half and pulls the team that is competing and playing as hard as Luka is.

Garza should have NO SHAME in how this season ended. The MAN can only do so much. FRAN owns a lot of blame, as well as his teammates. Oregon was playing out of their minds too. SUCKS
I second this thread. Great player and from what I've seen seems like a good person with a great head on his shoulder. Best of luck in your future endeavors.
Well Said.. The Senator very Special. BEST to him and Family...
When Luka is done playing ball he should be given serious consideration as our next coach. He is pure class and inspiration.
Would’ve had more if the guys around him fed him the ball in the second half. When you’re down and need buckets, he should’ve touched the ball at least once every possession. I feel bad for him. He busted his ass today and the rest of the team (Fran included) gave up with about 10 minutes left in the game.
He would say that. What a special special person. Heartbroken for him.
I feel bad Fran couldn’t lead you to where this team needs to go.
some people think the 3 point shot has ruined the beauty of basketball
their argument? Before the 3 point line, teams looked for the best possible shot, which meant being as close to the basket as you can get
and before the 3 point line, you actually had centers and forwards posting up, close to the basket
now, everyone is launching 3's
Exactly right. There is zero other possible explanation for having arguably the greatest player in program history on your team and only making R32
Loved everything that Luca brought to the court! Truly a ALL HAWKEYE.. I know he’s probably hurting right now but he’s got a lotta of ball left to play!
Above avg to good guard duo with an all time center that is final 4. This one hurts because I'm so devastated for Luka
