That's Iowa Basketball Folks...

Some of you boys need to take a step back from the ledge. You have a very good team with some excellent players and a great coach. There's a lot of basketball to be played yet.

Maybe, but it seems that we still haven't exorcised some the demons that have plagued us for several years which is absolutely concerning.

This.

After the football team collapse our fan based is so used to this.

Maybe I'm off base, but to me the team just looks "tight "? Nothing easy right now and honestly were just a step slow both offensively and defensively . We have definitely struggled recently keeping smaller quicker guards from driving the lane and finding open shooters. IMO fix the defense and the offense will fix itself. Been our recipe for success when we were hot earlier .
I'm confident Fran will get the ship righted. Be patient boys

It's disappointing. And a poignant reminder why you shouldn't place your mood, mental health, and emotional stability on the outcome of a basketball game. Iowa players are human but it doesn't seem like they care about finishing the season strong.

I have to keep reminding myself of that. Its been this way as a fan for me since Iowa lost to Toledo in the 79 NCAA tournament after winning the Big 10 title. Sometimes I think its easier on a supporter to have Lick like teams. It was never gut wrenching like last night...you just expect it. Fran's teams have been a lot better, but the losses like this are just gut wrenching. Losing to Maryland or IU didn't bother me. This did. That is not a good PSU team.
