4 more years of daddy’s little angel on the team.

Then daddy’s other little angel joins next year for another 4 years.

Let’s all kill ourselves.

The truly horrifying thing here is that he caught shit for it last game from the media and fans. The announcers clearly asked him about it

Instead of having any introspection about the situation, he literally doubled down.

I’m sorry, but he’s clearly an arrogant and selfish fucking prick to even attempt this. Fuck him

Almost everybody (myself included) wanted to give him the benefit of the doubt. He's a brilliant coach and he's been successful everywhere he's been.

No one is capable of evaluating their own child rationally.
This is why he should have just sent his kid down to NW Missouri State. The temptation wouldn't even be there.

Turns down blue blood jobs

Totally disingenuous to say Peyton lost Iowa this game. You're seeing what you want to see. The +- isn't lying in this game. The starting unit shit the bed and had the team playing from behind all day.

This team needs a lead scorer ala Stirtz. Top scorer by committee means you don't have one. Koch needs to be much more aggressive offensively. Sage has been the most disappointing player on the team. I'd try Thompson if he could just be a little below average on defense.

Miss Stirtz a lot
Might be a long season
And don't forget Banks, who is whacking off doing nothing.

The whole reason for our run last year: Stirtz, Banks, Folgueras w/supporting players of Koch/Sage.

They're all fags, now.

I'll play. Peyton is why we lost the game (fucking stupid to say, as he had +18 on the floor, but whatever). What 5 on the floor were the most likely ones to win Iowa the game today? What is the starting lineup next game?

The evidence said he lost his mind it’s hard to deny when he is more than happy to bench all the other players when they aren’t playing well, but somehow his son is immune from being benched

Really shows a coach and a father who is thinking clearly about the situation. I’m sure that’ll go over well with the team

Sage and Coleman and Cam all benched.

Not his precious little Lord Fontleroy, though

If possible, Iowa should bring Banks back ASAP. Ben's Doug-approved decision to not bring Banks back was stupid

Idk how Combes came back in without being concussed. Could hear his head hit the floor from the other side of the arena

Why is Iowa a magnet for nepotism

Doe we really need to write anti nepotism clauses into every contract

There’s a lot of gold out there saying we would be fine without Stirtz. I was too nice at the time to challenge the ridiculousness of those statements.

Perhaps there's some middle ground here. Peyton didn't play poorly. He had decent moments. But he didn't play nearly good enough to justify 24 fucking minutes on the floor.

If he got 8-10 per game, fine. But this is nuts.
No, over the course of 40 minutes, Peyton was the only reason Iowa lost. We need to keep that narrative going 24/7 and not focus on the guys we are paying $2M to be here.

I wonder if these last two games will matter come selection Sunday
Who cares?

This is a do nothing team. We went to the Elite-8 last year in Ben's first year for the first time in 900 years.

It would seem that Whamo might be right about expectations. This team was always gonna suck.

Exactly. He was underrated by Iowa fans. OKC, one of the best franchises in the NBA, was blown away by his workout and he's playing well for them.

Because he did play poorly.

It’s not worth your time tbh. It doesn’t take a genius figure to out how important an NBA caliber PG was to our team last year and how he elevated the play of everyone else around him. Stupid takes are nothing new on this board.

This team needed a few more Prairie View A&M’s early and fewer Creightons/Xaviers early in the schedule.

It doesn't matter whether or not or how many times Peyton is the primary contributing factor to losing individual games. He should not be on the team because he isn't good enough to be a Big Ten basketball player.

They cut the deficit while Peyton was on the court! Sage also played badly!

I don't care. He isn't a high major player and wouldn't be on the team if his dad wasn't the coach. Like @Thomas Wolsey said - forget he's the coach's son, if a player of Peyton's caliber is your best choice for 24 minutes then that is also a failure on McCollum's part of roster construction and coaching.

Even I wasn’t complaining the first half. Sage clearly didn’t have it and Peyton wasn’t terrible.

Then he played the entire second half.
