Win or lose...I’m damn proud of them

During our 11-2 run or whatever it was, our mentality was spot on, doing all the right things. It's frustrating that when there's just one small mistake, like touching the ball last before it goes out of bounds, committing a foul, or taking a really deep 3 point shot immediately after crossing half-court and missing, snowballs into a long stretch of bad mistakes that turns into a run the opposite way. Still, they've been doing good overall in the second half.
 
Typical Iowa fans....proud of a loss.

Pull your heads out of your ass. Colgate damn near beat them two days ago.
 
Iowa needs a schofield.

Sure, lot of effort/heart and overall a solid season. UT not a great team and Iowa played like garbage in 1st half. They need to play with effort in both halves.
 
Great game.

Barnes sucks ass and TN deserved to lose.

Cook did himself no NBA favors with his tourney performance. Exposed badly.

Great effort but wth happened in the first half!? McCaffery? The players? Tennessee just that good? Yes to all the above....however Iowa played dumb in OT McCaffery should’ve called a timeout in the first 2 minutes of the OT. Offense became stagnant when he finally called a TO i believe 2:30 left on the clock down by 7. Too little too late!

Iowa was overwhelmed by Tennessee’s athleticism in the first half and they played timid. I would have loved to hear what Fran said to the team at halftime.

Proud of the way we battled back in the second half but if we play the first half with the same intensity we win the game. Still, after being down by 25 to a much more athletic team we did show a lot of heart and grit. Looking forward to next year.

I said earlier in the season that this isn't Wooden's Bruins but I couldn't love them any more than I do. Nothing has changed.

John Wayne as Rooster Cogburn thinks this team has TRUE GRIT.
 
Same. They should be proud. A damn shame they didn't win because they deserved it. We're only losing Baer next year right? The sky's the limit next year.

This team has far less talent and athleticism than Tennessee and they came back from down 20 + and took a legitimate Top 5 team to OT.

You need therapy.

Disagree with your assessment that we are far less talented. Just another defeatist type attitude. It’s woven into the fabric of the Iowa fanbase.

You're delusional. And I've made it abundantly clear I'm not a Fran fan. Still proud of the 2nd half effort. Other teams have quit in the tourney.
