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

[Saul Berkley]

Since the start of the 2016-17 season, McCollum is 274-23.

That’s absolutely ridiculous regardless of level.

But he's on the spectrum or something

 

[hawkeyealum]

They should hire Will Wade

 

[Hawkstrat]

So we all seem to be assuming Fran is gone after this year. What's the confidence level on that? 75% 90%?

It's hard to see a path forward with Fran. If Iowa was just losing road games, maybe, but so often they've looked completely lost. It feels over.

 

[Gushawk]

My heart says 95% but my head says 50/50.

 

[kenos]

my gut feeling is it's less than a 25% chance that he leaves.

it's iowa.

 

[Thomas Wolsey]

my gut feeling is it's less than a 25% chance that he leaves.

it's iowa.

 

[tallperson54]

With my insider!!! knowledge, I'll say there's a 97% chance Fran will be done at Iowa after this season.

 

[Gushawk]

We’re counting on you, big fella

 

[Thomas Wolsey]

With my insider!!! knowledge, I'll say there's a 97% chance Fran will be done at Iowa after this season.

This better happen. You have hedged, so it isn’t banworthy, but I am certainly going to get pissed.

 

[Stu Beagle]

It’s why I want to lose out

 

[Brad Wesley]

I’m more in the Strat camp than Wade camp, and I want someone who will consistently target and appeal to a very different kind of player than Fran historically has at Iowa.

Do we know how many kids McCollum has in school?

 

[Gushawk]

I’m for as many more losses as it takes.

 

[Verbal]

I’m for as many more losses as it takes.

Washington is quite possibly the only win left on the schedule.

 

[Fletch]

Hope they’re repeatedly buttfucked as the home attendance dwindles towards 0.

 

[26.2]

Fran will be back next year, according to my Insider Her sources

 

[KitKatApples]

noooooooo

 

[Kamala]

Fran will be back next year, according to my Insider Her sources

That was my feeling as well, but I heard earlier today that there’s a 97% chance he’ll be done

 

[tallperson54]

This better happen. You have hedged, so it isn’t banworthy, but I am certainly going to get pissed.

Get MAD again

 

[MikeyJoe]

It would be cool if the coaching change brought this board back to life. In The first five-six years or so of Fran’s run it was a lot of fun.

I remember the end of the Lick years before we had chat and game threads were basically you me and lax talking to ourselves.

 

[Thomas Wolsey]

I remember the end of the Lick years before we had chat and game threads were basically you me and lax talking to ourselves.

It was probably the 30th or 40th time getting kicked in the balls that finally got to me.

 

[Geese]

It feels like Fran is already gone

If he's back next year lol

 

[douglasbader]

Pretty sure he's a bottom actually....

 

[CamelTones]

I remember the end of the Lick years before we had chat and game threads were basically you me and lax talking to ourselves.

I essentially found/joined this message board because of the end of the Criminal era. Iowa only having 2 major head coaching searches during the message board era is pretty ridiculous.

In Licks last year the men played at Illinois the same night as the Orange Bowl against Georgia Tech. Legend12 might have been the only Iowa fan watching the basketball game.

 

[HerkyHopeful]

Is that Jackoff McCaffery he's sitting next to?

 

[Uff Da]

Freeman is there!

 

[Hawk&Balls]

Nice 3 ft airball from dembele

 

[HerkyHopeful]

My 5 year old yelled at Pryce for saving the ball under his own basket. I may have called Pryce a dumbass too

 

[L. Wade Childress]

This is like our worst possible defensive lineup

 

[CamelTones]

Good Brock Harding minutes there.

 

[Hawk&Balls]

Payton sandfort don't be a spaz challenge impossible

 

[Lee Beevers]

Fartman Sr. is just aids

 

[Uff Da]

LOL Sandfort

Just shoot it I guess

 

[MoneyPit]

<fart noises>

 

[CamelTones]

We’ve reached the point where in the last game Wisconsin went on what felt like a 50-4 run. Score is reversed this time though.

 

[HerkyHopeful]

They throw their elbows to the chest every time they drive.

Time to put in Tadjo and have him throw some clotheslines

 

[L. Wade Childress]

Sandfort could be really good on offense if he would just cut out the completely retarded shot attempts

 

[HerkyHopeful]

Klesmet is a dork

 

[HerkyHopeful]

Lunch pail guy

 

[CamelTones]

Pryce earning his scholarship today.

 

[douglasbader]

It's frustrating how much of a fucking pussy Josh Dix is.

 

[AZmessDAWG]

I’m watch the WM Phoenix Open and wondering wtf we moved back to Iowa.

So stupid!

 

[CamelTones]

Come out of a timeout and somehow the ball ends up in Ladjis hands.

 

[Kamala]

I liked it better when the coaching wasn’t dressing for casual days

 

[Gushawk]

Dembele with 2 good possessions.

 

[Hawk&Balls]

At least Dembele had been productive today

 

[CamelTones]

WTF is that call?

 

[Hawk&Balls]

He was 5 feet from half court when he passed it

 

[RiotFan]

You can’t have a backcourt violation if the ball was never over half court. Terrible.

 

[DonJMiller]

These refs are retarded

 

[HerkyHopeful]

WTF these refs are fucking retards
