This loss on Fran AGAIN!

[Ihawkhoops]

Because then the “we play too many guys” haters will flood the boards

Well those are also the same people who think Fran is a genius, Joe W. will play in the NBA and that Connor would start for other big ten teams. HUGE difference between bringing Dom Uhl or Brady Ellingson off the bench vs. Murray, Ulis or Perkins. The biggest miss for Fran was not getting these guys involved earlier IMO. Murry has gotten more PT since CJ's injury, but got limited action before. Ulis and Perkins should have been on the court a lot in non conference, but Fran waited until really late in games. Why? Hasn't he seen the same suspect guard play and limited athleticism on display like the rest of us?

Let Fran test the waters. He will end up back at a mid major where he belongs. Indiana is a BAD team and they swept Iowa. It's too comical to get mad about.

I didn’t say I agreed with them.

This team is definitely not as good as we all thought. This is disappointing due to all the preseason hype. I bought into, "this was the best Iowa team maybe ever". This team is nowhere near that. I wonder if the players bought into this hype? Why this team isn't better is difficult to understand. They are so frustrating to watch as they clearly don't handle adversity and don't play well in close games.

Speaking of not handling adversity well, take a gander at this board after every loss.

Bohannon certainly did. He has never shied away from telling everyone how "good" he is. Listen to his podcast, him being interviewed on others podcasts or check out his twitter feed sometime.

I wasn't implying you did so my apologies if it came across that way.
