Yep the backcourt of Gesell and Sapp also played defense. Last night, Thelwell and Dix seemed to be the only Iowa players consistently playing solid defense. Our two leading scorers were awful on both ends.

The only thing worse than your typical Badger fan is your typical Badger fan channeling their inner Cyclone fan.

CSB, but I paused the game with Iowa leading 29-25, then later peeked at the final score. Even I was shocked given how the first ten minutes were going. Just an epic meltdown.
Well Fran has only been at Iowa for 15 years, so I'm not sure how this becomes 20+.
I stopped watching in the second half when Wisky went up by 20. I went and read a book and then came out and erased the shitshow from my DVR. Life is too short to watch a game like that. It reminded of the 1970's when one of Lute's teams got beat even worse by Knight's Indiana team.
More of an effort than your football team did............
Giving up 116 is like the equivalent of giving up 35 points to Iowa in football.
So like, your football gave up around 148 b-ball points to our football team?!?! 🤣 😂
Last night might have been the worst D of the Fran era and that’s saying something…
Is this the first game she's watch Fran's team play since she's been at Iowa. She was an athlete herself. She didn't need some Badger loser to tell her what her eyes can see.....
Unfortunately, I'm not sure any of assistants do much of anything on game days. It was funny though when Payton went out in the 3Q he was so mad at himself he was practically pulling his hair out, and scrapping the skin off his arms on the bench. He knew he was playing like shit. Of course he went back in and went right back to chucking up stupid off balance shots.
Where were you with your smart mouth after our football game (42 points?!? Talk about defense!)? Must have been hilarious losing your last five.
F off. Regnar wrote a damn funny script of how it would go if the Fran acolytes in the Iowa sports media asked the questions that need to be asked. Laugh out loud humorous and at the same time frustratingly spot-on for the state of Iowa basketball.
I watched maybe 2 games this year. Ain’t no one got time for that. We’re a volleyball school now.
Again I have zero fvcks left to give about football. I don’t even watch anymore. Better things to do in the fall.
Yeah, but if you remember, Lute got him back a year or so later. The Hoosiers got their free burgers (?) when they crossed the century mark against us. But I will never forget Bobby just sitting their quietly on the bench with his arms folded as we took his Hoosiers apart 90-61.
Sum ‘dem volley-baller wimmen can be pretty damn hot in their tight shorts, especially if playing on the beach!
No worse then some of the douchebag trippers and nut punchers you clowns have had over the years under Bo and Gard....
Wisconsin shot great but the defensive game wasn’t really any worse than most fran coached games. They just shot well.
Fran just has a horrific defensive philosophy.

Actually, defense is where you rest so you are fresh when you run the other way after an opponent make!
Also, don't wanna get that 2nd foul in the first half so don't do ANYTHING that might look like a foul!!!
This is true.
Perfect storm of our defensive philosophy of hoping for misses from arc colliding with a once in lifetime hot shooting from virtually every badger.
Sadly, some of are roster are small weak and slow footed which means we have to pick our poison on def.
Cover inside by doubling and giving them clean looks from the arc was our default mode last nite.
Wasn't it Alfords team that was repeatedly lit up from 3 late in the game against Northwestern State when IOWA was a 3 seed 2005-06? Wasn't the only time during Steve's tenure that the deep ball was not well defended.
Matt was a big reason Iowa got rid of Lick, of course. Had Lick not been fired, Matt would have transferred.
In Lick's final year, Iowa finished the regular season with a 27-point loss at Wisconsin and a 35-point (88-53) drubbing at Minnesota.
Geeee ya got me there Skippy. Bad D is bad D whether they score 100 or not. Not defending shots during crucial periods during the game has become the norm at IOWA for too many years.
I sure hope Settles does the game on Tuesday because my belief in Payton’s eliteness is waning.
Knees and fists to the balls seem to work well also, wouldn't you agree?

With the series of intentionally dirty players who have been in the Wisky program, funny that you try to suggest Woody was dirty. At least punch guys in their junk.
