Since the Nebraska game, in which Joe played very well and scored 30, he's shooting 30% from the floor. 38% from the two and 18% from the 3. He's also averaging 1.7 turnovers to .9 assists.
To put it bluntly, he's playing like s***.
The Fran fade

Every basketball analyst in the country has plenty of people that think they're idiots. When you're job is to give opinions it goes with the territory.
No denying it. Connor is playing better in Joe's absence but he's not nearly good enough offensively to make up for it.
So if Iowa loses 5 out of their last 8 including their final 3 they're not fading?
I can’t see Iowa making a serious run in the BTT. A guy at Garza’s size that goes as hard as he does can’t play 38+ minutes back to back to back. It’s just too much wear and tear. Especially when you consider that he will likely be going against guys like Oturu and Cockburn
If they beat Minnesota and then lose to Illinois the fade will still exist. I mean that's a 4 seed to a 7 or 8 seed in a month
They must have announced it? I'm surprised a guy who T-8th in their league won it honestly
They have talked about the refs 3 more times than I've heard any other teams talk about officiating. It seems like every loss any more. It's not hard to see what this mentality stems from.
If that were true NC State, Clemson, Texas, Furman, Memphis and Nebraska would have been in the tournament while St Johns, AZ St, Minnesota, Seton Hall, Temple and Ohio St would not have been. NC State was 33rd in NET and was left out. NET is just another resource available to the committee. They are still going to give benefit of doubt to Power-5 schools and they will continue using Kenpom and other resources as well.
Only winning by 2 last night is almost an indictment on Underwood's coaching. Illinois is so much more talented than Iowa, and they almost melted down the stretch last night. A lot of it was poor shot selection. I distinctly can recall the Illini dribbling the ball down the court at about the 1:10 mark and a 6 point lead. Dosunmo (I think) heaves up a prayer of a 3 with like 24 on the shot clock still. This game could have gone much worse for Iowa. I give no credit to Fran, but rather chastise Brad for letting his players almost compromise the W like that. Get them reigned in, Brad. The Madness is coming.
I wish we would have hired him by the way.
