Down goes Iowa

[NWICY]

I miss him around here. I also miss pants and the marshalltown kid.

When did M-Town take the ban or did he/she just quit posting? Pants popped up for 1 post in the Ukraine thread a couple of weeks ago.

Why’d CyTwins get banned? Was he winning too much at Hawkeye trolling?

 

[CydeofFries]

So what are the odds there was a secret extension signed with Fran after the Big10 tourney that was gonna be announced as a victory lap after a successful NCAA tourney? 99%?

Poor Iowa. It was one thing to be sent to the east coast, but even worse to have to put up with raining giant spiders.

Patrick was hot with the Wilson ball.

How is it possible to not make a single Sweet 16 with Garza and Murray??

Playing your kids who wouldn’t make the YMCA all star team.

Since the PIG is considered in the tourney, Fran is 6-11 all time in NCAA tourney. 0-1 in round of 68, 6-4 in round of 64, 0-6 in round of 32. He has won as a #13, #9, #7, #7, #10 and #2 seed. Two of his wins are against higher seeds, (won as #13 seed at Siena and #10 seed at Iowa. I consider 8-9 to be the same). He has lost twice as the higher seed (last two years as #2 seed). So much like the regular season, he wins most of the games he is supposed to, 50/50 in toss up games and loses to higher seed (better teams). He has pulled two upsets and been upset twice. For a D1 coach, I would say he defines average.

How CyTwins got banned but the endless amount of hawk trolls are allowed to post here is beyond me

Im thinking he had plenty of warnings to change his behavior.

So wrong? Tournament, yes. Big10 tournament and end of regular season, no. Stated clearly several times Fran needed to produce in year 12 because he finally had a team on an unusual run in Feb/March. You act like I'm the only basketball watcher that was impressed with their hot streak. I don't care if it did involve some teams like Nebr, Rutgers, Indiana, Northwestern. I was just as impressed w/ the Cyclones when they beat OU, KState, TCU, and WV in that four game stretch to get us in.

Kris Murray is not avg 20+ points a game...People have this perception that "Hey look how much Keegan improved'! Kris average 20 min a game this year..Kid is 22 this year. I can see him average 13-15 ppg. 20+ nah.

Kris just doesn't have near the game on the block that Keegan does...not even close really.

 

[davegilbertson]

Perma-banned I believe, so for the intents and purposes of this board… he/she/they gone

Don't dead name pls

 

[Beyerball]

Took the ban hammer in like December.

Can I ask why?

 

[CYDJ]

KXNO already talking about next year...

I

My kid graduating from ISU this year wasn’t even a twinkle in my eye at that point.

BCClone. Same here! ha!

 

[cyclonehomer]

Don't dead name pls

Imagining I'm one of like three people here who will get this but I appreciate it.

 

[8bitnes]

Bohannon came back for another year to go 2-8 for 6 points in 33 minutes in a first round loss to Richmond. Lol

I think we've found his next line of work. He's a magician. His specialty is disappearing on the big stage

 

[cyfanatic]

This type of report is one of the many reasons it is hard to live in eastern Iowa when it comes to Iowa athletics...the sports "reporters" are fanboys...so annoying:

Iowa players show emotion in postgame after loss to Richmond in first round of the NCAA tournament

Hawks react to tough loss against Richmond

[CycloneVet]

Serious question for people suggesting Iowa will be back in tourney next year. How do you think there will not be a significant drop off from this year?

Fran has always shown recruiting prowess in the transfer portal

 

[NWICY]

Can I ask why?

I have no idea. The rumor I heard was him and a hawk were arguing about a hawk player getting NIL payments.

 

[8bitnes]

So when is the McCaffery extension going to be announced?

They don't announce extensions. They do them in secrecy and they get found out months later

 

[Marcelason78]

I have no idea. The rumor I heard was him and a hawk were arguing about a hawk player getting NIL payments.

Seems like the discussions about the 5 star DB deciding to go to TOE was about the same time he was banned. Don't know what he said that was perma ban worthy.

JBo.. the first player in NCAA history to score 2000 points averaging less than 10 points per game. See ya buddy boy
