I guess Iowa's collapse will start in March this year...

[JP4CY]

I've got $100 on them getting 8th or worse in B1G, is too soon to collect?

Its time to double down on that baby.

I feel like now would be a good time to post his little Iowa basketball rant

2015 was also memorable due to this epic rant by Ross Peterson.

This is actually even more funny now since he makes some football comments in there too.

Listening to the Mad Fran. He really liked how they played in the 2nd half.

Iowa leads the country in "scoring points when the other team is in coast mode"

Iowa is the exact same team they've been the last 3-4 years. A couple nice pieces and a bunch of role players that are limited. This year they don't have the horrendous Big 10 to rely on. It's actually pretty good and pretty deep.

Good luck.

I still cannot fathom how the Wisky and Michigan State games weren't deemed important enough to play Pemsl, but the ISU game was.

It really proves that Fran cares about that game more than anything else. He must feel like as long as he wins that game, the fans of Iowa will love him no matter what else happens? Just weird.

Fran installs fear into them. Not the greatest way to motivate your players.

I have been saying this for a long time. Scared players don't lead, and they don't have confidence in themselves. They are afraid.

Look how many times Iowa loses close games, or can't hold close leads at the end. They play scared. It's all on Fran. Wonder what his record is in games decided by <4 points?

How did Connor do?

He's now shooting 11% from 3 on the season

 

[Remo Gaggi]

The Iowa fans on twitter need to step back from their demands to fire Fran. It's not happening, they're stuck with Fran for at least 2 more full seasons because of Barta's secret extension from last year. Even at the end of this season his buyout is still apparently about $9 million.

Just let yourselves slip into apathy, Hawk fans. Except, you know, that Super Bowl game your guys play every year in December.

That would be Game 7 of the NBA Finals.

That's debatable .

Advanced metrics love hawki basketball in the late 2nd half.

 

[Gunnerclone]

How bad is JBo? Totally outclassed against actual competition.

That's like 11 out of a hundred.

 

[Clonefan32]

That's debatable .

I think Cook and Wieskamp, and to a lesser degree Garza, are good players if they were to be used correctly.

That's what led to thousands of "offense isn't the problem" posts.

 

[Clonefan32]

He's now shooting 11% from 3 on the season

But he excels in the underappreciated areas of the game like flailing layups, talking **** and whining to refs.

He really struggled last night. The problem is Iowa didn't have anywhere to hide him defensively either. They ended up putting him on a 6'6 wing who scored the most points he has had in the last 10 games

 

[cyclone101]

This is going to end up being a bad loss for us, isn't it? Figures they play the game of their life against us.

I said this before we played them. Everyone was all "Iowa sucks, we win by double digits."
Then we got spanked and the tune changed from "Iowa sucks" to "Ok well, they're a solid team"
No! Just, NO! They are horrible and we got embarrassed in IC. Bad loss.

He's too worried about his hair getting messed up!

But he's scrappy though. Team leader. And designated team goon also.... main role is going out there and pushing and shoving, throwing elbows, and talking trash to get under the opponents skin.

 

[Rural]

It's gonna get ugly for Fran and his kid.
