I don’t disagree with what you are saying, but I will say you need more context (ie what the teams record was previously, schedule, the order of the wins and losses) to establish that the team didn’t fade down the stretch.

To be fair to him Iowa hasn't faded down the stretch since last year so you can't blame him for forgetting about it
 
Lol just last year Iowa lost their last 4 regular season games and 5 out of their last 6 with their only win vs an NIT team at home that took them to OT

Iowa was 5-5 in Feb. and March last year, hardly a Feb fade that you claim.

If that is calm, it shows why Connor is yelling at the refs after the game. I don’t know what the Macs are like but they don’t come across very well, even the mom when she pours water in a reporter.
Was her water incident ever confirmed?

First, it should be established what "down the stretch" means. It started off as a February fade and then turned into February and March once facts were presented showing there hasnt been much of a February fade under Fran.

Now its picking and choosing something like 5 out of the last 6 because he is desperate.

Not really. A fade is going like 2-8 in the last 10 games. You can't call going 4-5 or 4-6 a fade. I mean what teams were you playing, were they home vs away, etc. all comes into play as well. Yet looking at the record, it is simply stupidity to say Fran has regularly faded, and I think even you see that.

You surprised Twins is moving the goalposts to try to troll? I'm not.

So 2 Illinois assistant coaches have words for Fran when he was simply going through the handshake line and already shook Underwood's hand and you think it's Frans fault? LOL!!

You ISU fans are having a hard time with the success Iowa is having this year. It's legitimately clouding your judgement.

A true professional finishes the handshake line, only except is if there is a court rush that keeps the team from doing that or some other thing like that. If you can’t shut up and keep walking, you have some serious issues.

Do you think Iowa faded last year?

Fran was progressing through the line and not saying a word until the 2 Illinois assistant coaches decided to start running their mouths.

Fran and Underwood shook hands and had no issue.

To the bolded part, I assume you are talking about the 2 Illini coaches.

I said I was wrong calling it the Feb fade and changed it to the Fran fade. Fran's teams can play OK the first week or two of February

If he had no issue, why did he pull the players out of the line?
