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

[HerkyHopeful]

The shot clock did not move until he picked it up

 

[HerkyHopeful]

Got back from putting the last kid to bed and they're down near 20 points again. Jfc

 

[Uff Da]

Defense is looking solid per usual

 

[HerkyHopeful]

Brock sure reacted like it went wrong, I think time/score was set up for a 2 for 1.

2 for 1s only work when your team doesn't give up a million offensive rebounds

 

[douglasbader]

No, the shot clock didn't run. The clock ran as it always does and there was 43 seconds left. They intentionally let 7 seconds run off and picked it up at 36 seconds. Harding was just checking to see what play Fran wanted to run or if he was going to call a time out. That's it, he was in no way trying to get a 2 for 1 and no way Fran would have wanted a 2 for 1 with that time scenario.

 

[AZmessDAWG]

Seeing Iowa down 18 to fucking Illinois, who are the fucking devil and I hate with every fiber of my being, isn’t even coming close to pissing me off.

Zero. Fucks.

 

[TurdBurgler]

Featuring dembele. I think we are gonna lose this one.

 

[Pedro]

This got away in a hurry.

More teams need to try 2 for 1’s though. Not in this case bc who gives a fuck. But in general.

 

[TurdBurgler]

Why would you not want a 2 for 1 with 45 seconds? And down 7? Other than the fact we can't rebound.

There was only 43 seconds. Unless you have DeAaron Fox, you aren't likely getting a shot off in time to make it worth it. If there were 50 seconds, then absolutely.

 

[AZmessDAWG]

Good pass Peyton.

 

[jabberjaw]

Every time that they mention Dembele being from West Africa, it reminds me of this fantastic commercial.

 

[HerkyHopeful]

We have a point guard who struggles to put the post feed anywhere near where it needs to be

 

[AZmessDAWG]

Gatens is so fed up with this team. Sandfort wide open on that BLOB and Harding tries to force it Dix. You can see Gatens shaking his head saying “he was wide open.”

 

[HerkyHopeful]

Besides being a midget and horrible at defense, Brock also remains a complete dumbfuck with his decision making.

 

[TurdBurgler]

Harding has pulled off the first part of that end of half 2 for 1 strategy a few times this year with a quick layup. Swear to God I remember this happening. It's never worked out because we can't rebound a miss on the other end.

 

[Hawk&Balls]

But other than that

My wife told me to calm down after I was yelling the same thing. Also mad at me for telling them to double the 7 footer instead of letting him go one on one with Dembele.

 

[BillyBob]

This is boring and gay

 

[BillyBob]

Iowa basketball is gayer than 2 men having sex

 

[BillyBob]

Now that Freeman has quit why tf are they keeping that gay lil midget around

 

[Hawk_Kegmasters]

Betting against Iowa on the road works 60% of the time, every time. It’s gonna pay for some Antigua excursions for me next month.

 

[RiotFan]

No prayer for stops on anything close to a consistent basis. Just wide open shots and layups trip after trip.

 

[Geese]

Is Brock going to run to Twitter after the game to talk shit again??

 

[BillyBob]

I dont wanna watch a bunch of soft feminine but gay whites play basketball

 

[jabberjaw]

Is Brock going to run to Twitter after the game to talk shit again??

Either that or a TikTok dance routine

 

[BillyBob]

Do any of these guys have chest hair

I bet they all shave their bodies of what little body hair they may have

 

[BillyBob]

does the lil wigga make TikToks too

I thought it was just his taller twink friend

 

[iowa4ever20]

Other teams have also been doing the strategy of not inbounding the ball right away so even if Iowa rushes and makes a bucket with 37 seconds left there is likely not a 2 for 1 scenario still available by the time the ball is inbounded with the first half running game clock.

Correct. The college basketball clock rules and no quarters are terrible for 2 for 1's.

 

[L. Wade Childress]

Got back from putting the last kid to bed and they're down near 20 points again. Jfc

hope you learned your lesson

 

[douglasbader]

I actually watched about half of this tonight, and I'm just getting old and saying the same thing again, but what an annoying sport to watch at this point. It's crazy how spazzy the college game is now.

Everyone looks out of control, there are so many mis-handles of the ball of passes, whatever. Everyone spazzing out driving like crazy and spraying the ball out for rushed threes. A mad scramble to fly up the court with turnovers everywhere. Everyone out of control.

Maybe they should hire the Drake coach, might be a reason his slow down offense is working. Or not. I have no clue, never seen them play.

 

[L. Wade Childress]

Harding was the leading scorer. I hope Fartman and Dix immediately go into neighboring stalls and pray about how that should never fucking happen.

 

[Pinehawk]

Not much to enjoy about that game. Feels like everyone is just waiting for the season to end. The fans, the team, Beth, Fran…

 

[HawkBall23]

Another road game, same result.

 

[Hawk&Balls]

I'm sure the numbers will prove me incorrect but we feel more like a team that scores lots of points because we play fast and don't know how to play defense instead of a team that is really good at playing offense.

 

[CamelTones]

They are so bad coming out of halftime. A competitive game turns into a 17 point deficit in 3 minutes.

if only commonly referenced offensive metrics were adjusted for tempo.

 

[jabberjaw]

So that guy just got back home from West Africa for Christmas. He’s drinking Folgers at his parents’ home and presumably is about to bang his sister.

The numbers prove you incorrect. Not as good as most years though.

Remembering a lone reference to West Africa in a fifteen year old coffee commercial is like something I'd do.

I wasn’t a Hindi percent sure if East Africa or West, but I confirmed West Africa before posting. The incest portion of the commercial is what makes it memorable.

I didn’t watch any of this tonight because I didn’t really give a shit, but I know you’ve been beating this drum for awhile. I think you’re right on some things, but at the same time we’d all be glued to the TV if this was a top 25 matchup. Iowa sucking balls has directly affected how much I pay attention to CBB. I don’t really think that has affected the CBB audience though and wouldn’t be surprised if their numbers are actually up with the SEC doing so well. Maybe the numbers are down, but I tend to think we’re just assuming that because our team sucks and we DGAF.

That's what i like about those 80's Showbiz commercials

Fran can fuck off into the sun.

I have no idea what commercial you are talking about but it sounds very WTF

 

[hawkeyealum]

I just googled it. They are definitely fucking

 

[kenos]

A horrible roster that's been horribly coached.
