***2024-2025 Iowa Men’s Basketball Season Thread***

Good. Better chance of them getting blown out. I am all for it.

Yeah, that takes the chances of getting blown out from like 89% to 94%.

Rutgers is currently -6.5. Bet it!

 

[L. Wade Childress]

Wait, theyplay tonight? Holy shit I am checked out.

 

[L. Wade Childress]

I once considered myself the biggest Iowa basketball fan on the planet. Fuck everyone, including myself

 

[Hawk&Balls]

Wait, theyplay tonight? Holy shit I am checked out.

No

 

[AZmessDAWG]

Thelwell iffy for tomorrow night. If he can't go it will be Brock and Pryce running the point.

Who. The fuck. Cares.

 

[HiawathaHawk]

Who. The fuck. Cares.

No one cares that you don’t care. You can stop telling us.

 

[douglasbader]

No shit, shut the fuck up @AZmessDAWG you prick.

Go shove a 9 iron up your cunt.

 

[AZmessDAWG]

Lol

 

[Dr. Zaius]

Go fucking hawks

 

[AZmessDAWG]

Let’s talk about what they need to do to improve their NCAA resume.

 

[Gushawk]

We should make this a women’s basketball only forum until Fran is relieved of his post.

Too far

 

[L. Wade Childress]

I would like them to resume NCAA appearances

 

[brantshawks]

I would like them to resume NCAA appearances

 

[Saul Berkley]

Too far

It might not be far enough.

 

[RiotFan]

That isn't true and hasn't been true for 20 years. We've had teams ranked in the top 5 that couldn't get close to a sellout for Big Ten games, not ro mention very competitive teams within the last 3 years.

Are you expecting 15k sellouts for every game? If so you’re going to be disappointed, especially with the shitty schedules (days/start times) Iowa has had in recent years. Now, if they were winning consistently and had post-season success with some buzz, then maybe they’d get more favorable tip times. I don’t know….I do know that if they did they would have better attendance.

[TurdBurgler]

Alford went undefeated at home to sold out crowds, that season ended with the 1st round bounce to northwestern st. Been 20 years and we still haven't truly recovered from that shit show.

 

[Hawk_Kegmasters]

Looks like another great opportunity to make some money betting against the Hawks tonight! +6.5 against those Rutgers athletes, and possibly without Thelwell seems too good to be true.

 

[CamelTones]

Watching highlights of the BTT wins over Indiana and Purdue from a couple years ago…athleticism and length. Frans fine if he has that.

Perkins, the Murray’s, an athletic center that knew his role in Rebraca, and a 3 point shooter. Just get back to that type of roster and you’ll breakthrough in March.

Just takes two first rounders for Fran to be fine!!!

 

[CamelTones]

Athleticism and length that give effort (so not Patrick).

 

[CurdMan]

@CamelTones Really though. Fran has generally been fine and better than fine. But it’s a problem when despite the first rounders and athletic guys you’re talking about the catastrophic defensive errors were still persistent. Any discussions of Fran being fine are dead to me at this point. His weaknesses are never going to go away because he’s proved time and again that he doesn’t care to correct them

I would say the prevailing opinion here was that roster makeup sucked.

 

[Thomas Wolsey]

Fran would be fine if he changed what he was teaching wrt defense and rebounding. He won’t.

 

[CamelTones]

I would say the prevailing opinion here was that roster makeup sucked.

Absolutely. It sucks that he appears to have figured that out too late. Partially blinded by his own kids. Returning a roster with Kris, Patrick, Perkins and Rebraca while expecting Sandfort to take a step was probably fine.

Once Kris left and the best he could do in the portal was Krikke, they were fucked.

Their current recruiting efforts are very odd given the situation they appear to be in. They should have been doing this 2 years ago.

 

[Mysterio]

he played kris in the post far too often so that patrick could prance around the 3 point line

it took him years to figure out connor wasnt a point

 

[Herbie2]

Thelwell listed as “Out” tonight.

 

[Hawk&Balls]

How many guards do you really need anyways

 

[KitKatApples]

Usually at least one

 

[L. Wade Childress]

I don’t feel like Connor was a bad at all on that roster. It would have been nice to have a PG that could get his own shot when needed but Connor never really had to do that.

 

[HerkyHopeful]

Nice floater off the backboard by brock

 

[Uff Da]

Brock looking good

 

[HerkyHopeful]

Is Mulvey injured or did Fran just change to Dembele?

 

[L. Wade Childress]

This team is brutal

 

[HerkyHopeful]

Dix and a bunch of limp dicks out there right now

 

[HerkyHopeful]

White!

 

[Uff Da]

Hanging in there, mentally tough!

 

[StinkyMcFadden]

They're pretty fun to watch.

Harding
Dix
Sandfort
Sandfort
I don't even know who the 5th white was

 

[Hawk&Balls]

Braun

 

[Uff Da]

quite the lineup Fran has out there. Solid recruiting

 

[HerkyHopeful]

Elder Fartman getting buckets so far

 

[L. Wade Childress]

Fart bros appearance

 

[Hawk&Balls]

Imagine having two top 5 picks and losing to Evan brains and Carter kingsbury

 

[StinkyMcFadden]

Rutgers is fucking horrible. Don't they have two 5 stars?

 

[LifelongHawk]

Give them credit, competing.
