Slow, soft, and weak is no way to go through life son.

They had 28 assists on 31 made field goals. Meanwhile we were 0-15 at one point in the second half

He can be fine and not the cure for what ails them. Let’s (probably falsely) assume he’s Utoff caliber. So what?

I think Keith Murphy should go over to Fran's press conference and demand to know why his program is mediocre at best. Fran might lose it, punch Murphy in the throat and solve all our problems.

Can’t wait to add little mccaffery to this group of slow weaklings
He's a top 50 player!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
We’re back to him not being good again. Halo. Full circle.
I’ve never waivered. He may be a fine player but I just don’t see how he helps because he doesn’t fill the giant goddamn need Fran has had since he arrived. This team has some good pieces but missing a great perimeter player to tie them
Together. Patrick isn’t that

Agree. Even if he is uthoff it doesn’t solve the problems

Game was lost the last 5 minutes of the first half and first 5 of the second half. When MSU went on their run to go up 7 and Fran called a timeout he should have sucked it up and put Garza back in.

Trying to get to halftime with Riley Till on the floor in East Lansing is going to result in pain.

Msu bigs Tillman ward and goins were 21 for 27, 78% from the field.

Kreiner and Garza were 1-13.

men against boys and that applies to players and coaches

Also, I hate watching bohannon play. Maybe he'll get ungodly hot and make me look like a bigger retard than normal, but I hate him.

Fran’s two foul rule is abject retardation. Stay in the game, you dipshit.

Really good Iowa teams have gone to east Lansing and gotten totally beat down. Not worth getting all depressed about.

But Fran still needs to make the tourney this year to keep his job safe.

I like it when he drives. Ends up on the right side of the rim and then shoots with his L hand and gets blocked by some guys breast bone. And then looks for a foul.

Unless his outside shot is on he’s pretty useless. He can’t even get separation to make a fucking entry pass

The only change in my thinking is that I think Iowa makes it in, I still want him fired if they don't.

Nobody wants to hear it, but most teams can't take Cook and Garza out of the game. There are better teams than MSU, but not many are bigger bullies. Iowa was emasculated tonight. But I don't think it spells doom going forward.

This is a bottom half big ten team that will be lucky to make the NIT.

Also, Cassius Winston has butthole eyes

The interior matchups looked like a gang of rabid pit bulls and crazed oxen molesting prancing unicorns.

So soft.

They are better than last year but still have a giant mess on the outside

Look at the bright side. We played lousy, and still didn't lose by 30.

No reason to really even analyze it. It was a catastrophic beatdown by a team that we all knew is way better than us in a hostile road test. Get back on track against the Cyclones on Thursday, then rattle off some more easy W’s and this will hurt a lot less. No need to freak yet.

Yep, we've had some great Iowa teams go to Breslin and get their shit pushed in.

It's fine. 0-2 in the Big Ten aint great tho.

So, coupled with some other decent players, we probably win a couple tournament games?

That 3rd seed we had in 2006 which went up there and got pisspounded by 30 was pretty good, 1st round upsets notwithstanding.

Iowa is currently 6-2 and that is what all of us would have taken when the year started. Thought they could play Michigan State better, but it is on the road early in the year against a Top 10 team and odds are they were going to lose.

They can win on Friday and get to the rest of the Big Ten 11-2 that would be good.

Let's all freak out though.
