Should be up a lot with everything we left out there today. I think this pays massive dividends rest of season no matter how this finishes!
That was a helleva come back and fight by this team

No it doesn't. Same movie once again. Iowa under Fran cannot get it done in big home games. A game like this is the difference between NCAA or NIT.
5 or 6 missed dunks alone. I've never seen them miss that many. An odd night but they fought.
They aren't beating Sparty.
Okay. And that has what exactly to do with the history of Iowa basketball under Fran?
Meh. Where was that fight before the last few minutes?
Play uninspired basketball most of the game, then a late furious rally that falls short. Too little too late. If I had a dollar for every time I've seen an Iowa team do this...

Jeepers, they lost---you want a participation trophy? The played chitty defense for 3/4 of the 2nd half.
You calling anyone a bitch is hilarious Mr NIT after the PSU loss. You are bitch personified
This is about of a bad post as your off-topic posts.
Missed dunks, missed layups, missed free throws. End of story. Also, too much dribbling against the zone defense. You beat zones with passing, not dribbling.
This was not a good game, good finish, or good loss. Pardon me if I don't share your optimism.
^^^^Fans like this are why Barta still has a job.
I thought you were a supporter in the battle against the desecrations. I agree Chis!
12 on missed dunks and I won't even go down the missed layup route plus missed fts and careless turnovers this team hasn't committed all season. Veryserious.org
I’m not sure what’s more extreme, your basketball takes or political takes. Radical
This was a very disappointing game. The team looked disinterested (unforced turnovers, missed free throws, missed dunks). Fran tried different lineups. Nobody provided a spark tonight. That cannot happen at home.
I know Fran gives green light but Payton took some far away quick shots
Does Fran have a game plan on offense for each opponent or is it just shoot when you are open?

The problem remains defense. Way too many layups, dunks, and wide open 3s(they were missing them in 1st half). Even in the last 2 games where the Hawks hammered poor opponents, this was an evident problem, but Fran glosses over all of it as the offense was playing well. The last few weeks is exactly what Franball is. Hammer bad teams and hopes get up, then lose against better competition as the defensive lapses catch up to us.
I think we need to win one of the next 2. If we do, we are still on track for 10 wins. If we lose the next 2, we will need to win at Michigan or at Illinois, neither of which is likely.
They give up when oppenent has wide open drive or shot and think they will get it back on quick tranistion offense not tonight
So jizz is not liked on HROT and the basketball board. Must be an us problem
This is what bothers me . Everyone is evaluated based on their offense in the Fran era . If you don’t value aggressive defense , you will lose against good teams .
maybe Fran should try playing Perkins , ulis, Joe and the Murray’s for an extended period, not just when they are going for a steal while down late.
I get that they would have a height disadvantage, but I would like to see how that aggressive and quicker team looks in a 5-10 minute stretch.

I honestly agree with you quite often on the off topic board….and then come on the basketball board and am not even in the same universe as your opinions on Hawkeye basketball. It’s sort of jarring.
It’s way past time for Fran to go.
