The McCaffrey's really brought it tonight alright!

[skydog0784]

How about the McCaffrey's bringing the heat tonight?
- Connor: 1-6 (0-5 3's; all wide open as I recall) from 3 point land, flopping around all over the place, 3 TO's, whining and complaining as always.
- PMAc: matador defense, 0 points, wasted / worthless minutes, pissing down his leg once again
- Fran not having his team ready and pissing and moaning about the calls again - as usual.

This entire team was so mentally weak tonight, pathetic... Kris, well he's no Keegan.

This is the worst loss against one of the worst WI teams I've seen. Terrible

 

[Auger]

They got embarrassed by a pretty weak Wisconsin team.

 

[Bearhawk0505]

Swept by an average Wiscy team this year. They are just better coached, no other way around it.

 

[im4hawks50595]

Great coach, don't even give Bowen any minutes with these other chuckers bricking everything, no Josh O or Mulvey, what a Stubborn coach not trying to get some life in this team.

 

[skydog0784]

Fran got totally wasted tonight by Gard. The entire McCaffrey's did.

Patrick needs to go to a mid-major, he's not a high-major player, I'm sorry. Nice kid probably who got dealt a major blow but it is, what it is.

Bingo.

 

[OutbackBowl2017]

There is a reason Connor and Patrick are wide open from 3, yet they can’t deduct why, so they shoot. And miss, yet again. It’s time for Fran to go. Thirteen years is enough.

 

[texas twister]

That was some serious "SUCK".

Yeah but do you know how bad it was under Lickliter. Fran should give that guy half his salary every year.

 

[skydog0784]

I've been a Fran supporter but it's getting tougher to do so. He can't put the ball in the bucket for the team but he can get the ball down to Filip much more than he did and play his son's a heck of lot less - especially Patrick; he's worthless out there.

 

[Hendy hawk]

Seemed to all turn bad when 3 balls from the corner went down with know one covering the shooter.

 

[Garzatough85]

Josh O is NOT the answer. Not sure what the answer is but it’s not Josh 😂

 

[skydog0784]

It's not Josh O, Riley M (evidently), and for sure not PMac - he sucks; a total waste of uniform out there. He shouldn't play the rest of his career. Dix needs his minutes. If Dix would get his minutes and leash, he'd be much, much better of an asset.

Even with shot not following. Bring sandfort in earlier. One threat for 3. Both he and murray 2 best shooters opens inside more. But Fran always goes 8 min before subbing. Both halves first 8 then next 8 night and day difference.

Team played poorly. Bowen's has looked terrible all year. You'd be happier if he played terrible again tonight?

 

[wilson reborn]

Relax. Things will be better next year.

Agreed, doesn't matter what the flow of the game is, who's hot or not, just mindless, standard sub patterns.

Fran is screwing this once promising season up - big time...

 

[iahawkeyes17]

One thing I’ll give Connor. He least contributes when not scoring. Unfortunately shooting like he was for most of last season right now. Texting friend during game he brought up a great point. What does pmac bring to this team? What are his strengths? If he’s not scoring he’s a liability. Doesn’t rebound well (sandfort give credit battles down low), not strong finishing inside because he’s too soft in the paint. way too inconsistent shooter and same goes for his D such as tonight with 5 min totally lost on pick and roll d gave up easy dunk. Right now just see him loafing around the arc and zero confidence on driving to the basket or taking jump shots.

I can’t blame Fran at all on this one. It’s not his fault that these 22 and 23 year olds can’t get themselves ready to beat a team like Wisconsin in front of a weak crowd. This team is loaded with a bunch of softies.

And who is responsible for recruiting and developing these softies? Brilliant take there. Fran is one of the most mentally weak coaches in ncaa as he often demonstrates on the sideline. Why would anyone expect anything different from his players?

Good analysis but his shooting is way off which kills comebacks and leads

Usually Connor does, but he brought nothing today - TO's, flopping around, pissing and moaning, his usual zero offensive game.

Patrick sucks, he needs to go. Fran too as far as I'm concerned.

Bingo. Fran is a horrid in game manager of players. Possibly one of the worst in the country.

And he keeps that worthless PMac in who contributes nothing? Patrick is the definition of a softy.

Sandfort and Dix bring so much more to the table.

 

[im4hawks50595]

Josh O is NOT the answer. Not sure what the answer is but it’s not Josh 😂

Im not talking about starting him but try him for 5 minutes maybe he gives a spark to the team on the road because others are flat out sucking and it can't get any worse.

 

[HawkLogic]

Let Bowen get some minutes? He's already on the JoeT plan.... and we got smallish guard coming in next year that seems to be Fran's type...small, likely can't defend, but good shooter...smaller more athletic JBO.

I actually like josh Dix...he plays defense and has length/athleticism and good handles. Not sure he's lockdown shooter but his 3pt stats so far are fantastic.

I don't think 3/25 from 3pt line is going to win any games. Even if you cut down the attempts this team isn't built to just pound it into Rebraca and let him go off for 40 pts. Rebraca is not Garza. Kris was not Kris or Keegan today.

JoshO went to Portal and nobody wanted him last year. I don't think he can run the court. Maybe a Medical hardship schollie and he retires.

 

[Iafootballfan]

Don’t worry- the usual suspects on this board will make excuses about Fran tomorrow.

 

[im4hawks50595]

Team played poorly. Bowen's has looked terrible all year. You'd be happier if he played terrible again tonight?

Why not try him, because jacking up three's and complaining all the time was not working, a good coach will try differnt players to try and spark the team. And not happy at all just frustrated

 

[blhawk]

When your leading minutes guy is Connor at 36 you're kind of screwed. That is ridiculous. I do appreciate his 8 boards but the McCaffery boys combined for 54 minutes. 2 points, 8 boards, 2 assists. 3 turnovers and a whole lot of shit defense.

Again, 54 minutes. The nepotism in Iowa sports is just overwhelming right now and has been for 6 years

Patrick looks lost on both sides of the ball god love him

I totally agree with this. The McCaffrey's killed us tonight - especially Patrick. God I cringe every time he comes into the game.

 

[Buffalo43]

Time for lineup change

Ulis
Perkins
Sanfort
Kris
Philp

I know Conner is 20 assist to no turnovers but he is a terrible shooter at the wrong moments in the game

We played tonight?

Doesn’t sound like I missed much

 

[jonesy5960]

Because he's been the worst performer on the court this year. It makes no sense to put him out there in any contested game. If anything put Dix out there for extended minutes. He looked great until he got sidelined when Patrick came back.

 

[jonesy5960]

Im not talking about starting him but try him for 5 minutes maybe he gives a spark to the team on the road because others are flat out sucking and it can't get any worse.

That's what everyone said about Brian's offense before football season started. That lesson was that as bad as things seem at times, things can ALWAYS get worse.

 

[HawkeyeLaker]

Every time I begrudgingly accept the free company tickets to the Hawkeye game here in Madison, I convince myself "It can't be worse than last time". Wrong. We got ZERO fast break points. When we play a team like Wisconsin (that isn't very good this year) that plays tough defense, there is some point in the game that we just mentally fold and then can't catch up because we run a very poor half court offense, and of course our defense is legendarily pathetic. Frans record in close games by whatever metric you use is embarrassing. He is a very below average bench coach that can't win during an off shooting night.

At one time tonight, Connor was actually arguing with Kris about something while on the court. This team is mentally weak when challenged and it is direct insight into how they are coached.

 

[skydog0784]

Patrick got 3 times more PT than Dix, Connor got 6 times more than Dix tonight (sometimes Connor earns it, not tonight though). I'd be so pissed if I was Dix. He should have taken the Purdue offer if I was him.
