Just really terrible right now. Only thing close in the last 10 years was that 2018 team. I think this was a terrible week and they’ll be better than this but this is 3 games of domination so maybe this is what they’ll be. Tough to watch.

Their flopping, particularly Gilbert, was the icing on top.

Does Fran tell Bowen not to drive to the basket early in games so he can get Perk and Pat cookin?

Another blow out loss, I predict there will be a few more.

Sandfort should be the emotional leader of this team, but he’s in an awkward position with Tony and Pat being apparently disinterested.

even in high school, devries was the best player but Payton was the leader and wanted the ball most when it mattered.

18 - 46 paint pts. Krikke fucking sucks. Pat had 0 pts and sucks even more. They are going to have to play Brauns more (who prolly also sucks).

Sandfort shouldn't be the best player on a Big Ten team. That's not his fault.
Following the Fran mold at Iowa, this should be Pat's team. But it's not. So they're bad.

Fran has had some terrible defenses, this group is the worst. Zero effort, zero interest and then that leads to sucking at rebounding as well.

It’s not often a team beats the press with the inbound pass and the recipient is able to drive right to the hoop for an easy layup. They also lost a guy under the hoop on an inbound pass while in zone. Not to mention the laughable rotations and easy penetration with no help defense.

There is no hope. It is time for Fran to move on.

Constant dribbling into double teams and then if they don't turn it over there, they did with a shitty, lazy pass.

Fran continues to have the most retarded lineups I've ever seen. Patrick gets his retardation from Fran.

Speaking of that useless disphit, he looked like he was crying going into the tunnel at halftime. Then comes out and sits on the bench moping by himself until the game resumed. Does nothing for the team.

Dix at PG is stupid. He's not a PG. Same with Perkins. Again just dumb line ups.

Everyone looked scared to play. Defense is as bad as I've ever seen.

Refs were pretty horrible, but Iowa playing like pussies played right into what they called.

Krikke is so fucking slow. If he's not scoring he's useless.

Pretty awful game to attend. I did lock eyes with Pollard in Johnny's and gave him a condescending smirk in my Iowa gear.

I believe the rebound was on the first missed ISU shot of the game as well. So everything after the 19 minute mark of the first half was just wasted space. He should be getting Dom Uhl’d.
I feel like he might be getting Dom Uhl’ed a little too often, if you know what I mean.

Dix is bad.
As a primary ball handler yeah, but I don't think he was even a point in high school. Just poor decision by Fran to put him there. Playing on the wing I think he can be a nice piece

I was wrong about him. I really thought he was going to be pretty good.

However, at this point they just need to go all in on the young guys. Let them take their lumps. Freeman is going to be really good. Harding might be decent and Dembele should be solid.

Very difficult to spend months watching Iowa football play lights out, fundamentally sound, tough as nails defense and then see this baby soft pussy shit.

No, he's scared. Pump fake, pretend to drive, rinse and repeat.

I get that his name is funny, but I never understood the Halo love.

I’ve been the only voice of reason on GroupText regarding him. It’s not easy being right about everything all the time, but someone has to do it.

How can a team with five coaches be this poorly coached and completely inept

Krikke getting clowned on the behind the back pass and then being unwilling to hammer the guy so he didn’t get dunked on was a pretty significant disappointment. Crystal clear that they have zero toughness.

Dix is playing out of position. He would be fine playing the 2 hole.

I’m honest when I say I’d like to see this lineup:
Bowen
Dix
Sanfort
Freeman
Brauns

They just need more defense and rebounding on the floor at all times vs. their current no defense and hit a 3 every 4th or 5th possession.

It was with about 6:30 left in the 1H....he had inside position when ISU missed a FT so he just had to raise his hands to get it.

Right, I thought it was earlier in the game. But I remember it just basically falling to him while he was standing there and thinking of @StinkyMcFadden

That looks like one of those awful lineups where no one can score that Fran leaves out 5 minutes too long.

Even when you’re not wrong, you have a knack for saying shit in the dumbest way possible. Every team has the same amount. It’s like saying “how can a team with 3 QBs and 8 WR not be good at passing?” “How can a team with an OC and OL coach not be able to run the ball?”

If we could never have father-son relationships on our teams going forward, that'd be great.

(and fuck us for always wanting it out of convenient recruiting)
