Down goes Iowa

Well, on HR, Kris and Keegan's dad is doing his part to keep the "blame the ball" narrative going. So, I guess we can expect the Hawkeye faithful to keep****ing that chicken for the foreseeable future.

So, what's the excuse list now?
- the ball was weird and it was more detrimental to Iowa than Richmond because... SMOKEBOMB!!!

- the 4 games in 4 days that Iowa played were totally different than the 4 games in 4 days that Richmond played. Unfair!

- Iowa totally got hosed by being matched up with a team that finished 6th in the A10 and lost to Drake.

- Fran was suffering from an acute case of pinkeye and wasn't able to properly see that the Hawks had an advantage in the post.

- Fran is a very literal man, and thought that the Spiders were actual spiders, triggering his arachnophobia.

anything else?

oh yeah, Pollard hosed them somehow.

They played on a portable/temporary court.

They can still hold "pity" parties so they can sit around blaming the refs, Pollard, slippery Wilson basketballs, playing on the portable floor above ice, having to play in a wide open arena to throw off their normal accurate pin-point three-point shooting, the Tom Davis curse....am I missing anything?
Yep - remember, Fran is still trying to resurrect a program that was absolutely trashed by Lickliter. Richmond didn't have the disadvantage of an ex bad coach like ol' Lick.
 
Their backs were really sore from the multiple days of congratulatory pats. And their hands were calloused from doing the patting
-They didn't have ice for their injuries during the game because Jorbo threw it all at someone the night before.
-Unfair matchup against a team that could jump higher.
-They were tricked into recruiting the wrong Ulis.
-Brought the wrong cleats to the tournament.

Their heads got so big because of all the national and local media love from winning the Big 10 title that they couldn't find enough pillows to rest their head and had trouble sleeping. Had the national media just STFU everything would have been just fine.
 
You can’t expect Fran to dig that program out of the hole Lickliter created in 12 years. It’s going to take at least 13 years before you can make a S16 with how the program was after firing Lick.
 
Why does their fanbase feel so entitled to stuff they’re undeserving of and lack as much awareness as they do?

The problem is they think their teams are better than they really are. Every year, they think their football team is headed to the college football playoffs. Last year and this year, they thought their basketball team was headed to the final 4.
