**Iowa at Purdue - 1/3/19 - 6 pm - BTN**

[HiawathaHawk]

JFC Kriener.

 

[HiawathaHawk]

Maishe missed the film sessions apparently.

 

[ABeardedDragon]

Stop taking that shot Cook.

 

[champion_thedrinker]

I think Dolph just said Indiana is losing to Indiana.
Not sure, I'm pretty buzzed myself.

I would hope he has his magic water bottle with him if he has to sit through this bullshit.

 

[Soda Popinski]

 

[HerkyHopeful]

Haarms is a massive faggot.

 

[Hawk_Kegmasters]

That’s hard to do.

 

[Soda Popinski]

Fran earned that extension.

 

[HerkyHopeful]

Kriener usually has 2-3 plays that you would normally see in a high school girls game.

So many guys on this Iowa team with huge holes in their game

 

[Jimmie Dimmick]

Gonna get ugly around Carver soon.

 

[Verbal]

They’ll win Sunday.

 

[Creed]

They’ll win Sunday.

I doubt it based on the way they are playing. A decent Nebrantska team isn’t going to get them out of this funk.

 

[bigazzturkeylegs]

Nebrantska is good. That's pretty much a must win.

 

[hawkeyealum]

Staring at 0-4

 

[HiawathaHawk]

At least it ended at 7:47. Getting completely punked on the road is getting old.

Hopefully Garza is back Sunday and they get that one. Opportunity is there for a little run but not if they continue to guard like that on the road.

 

[Hawkstrat]

 

[CamelTones]

Committed 3 fouls before the scrubs came in with 2 minutes left. That’s a joke and a complete lack of effort.

Teams have clearly scouted Connor and are just sagging off of him. If he’s not willing to shoot and more importantly make shots his passing lanes are going to be closed.

Obviously need Garza in the worst way.

 

[L. Wade Childress]

Fran earned that extension.

Fran earned the extension

Fran has not lived up to the extension.

 

[Creed]

I’m not ready to give up on Fran, but for years I’m not sure that I’ve seen much value brought to the table by any of the assistants. They don’t seem wholly involved in the game and recruiting isn’t impressive. I’d like to see a change there after this season.

After staying the course last season, he isn't making any changes

 

[Dr. Zaius]

Fran is going to have to coach for his job the rest of the way. No way he survives if they miss the tournament again. He is neither likable enough nor previously successful enough to earn a pass at the shit that has been on the floor the last 3 years.

 

[Hawkstrat]

Fuck, this is incredible.

 

[The Game]

There's no way Barta's going to fire him and try to find someone else with an all senior-laden team next year. Crash and burn next year, and it's over.

 

[The Game]

LOL at some of fans wanting to burn it all down. There's 0-3 in the conference, 2 of those games played in arenas we normally get skull-fucked in, and the other was a couple point loss to a top 15 Wisconsin team.

 

[Hawkstrat]

It's amazing to me how much of this roster is just filler. Assuming this is Cook's last year, Garza and Weiskamp are the only guys worth talking about.

Fuck that. Cook probably isn’t coming back and outside or Garza and Weiskamp there isn’t a single other person on the team who would alter your thinking

I still don’t think Pat is going to be a difference maker and even if he is I wouldn’t keep fran around because of him since he isn’t a fucking competent guard. Fran doesn’t recruit those

Burn all of what down?

 

[The Incredible Hawk]

Iowa wins a close one. Joe goes for 25 and 8.

Nailed it.

Recruitment has been an abortion and the defense is still nonexistant

You're probably right unless a great fit comes up this offseason.

Still hoping they turn it around but I've said since mid year last year that missing the tourney 3 years in a row should be unacceptable at Iowa.

Tonight looked like last year redux and if they don't grow a pair he should go.

Pat could be great, but a skinny forward isn't what this team is lacking.

Fire Fran and burn it down folks.

Fire Fran and burn it down folks.

What exactly was built that is worth preserving?

If being better than Lick isn't the floor, but rather a goal worthy of keeping a coach around after missing three straight tournaments, we are fucked.

And I'm not saying fire Fran, I like the asshole, I really do. But if they don't make the tournament, it's time for the next guy.

Agreed. Fran has done a nice job of getting serviceable to good bigs. He’s done a shit job on the perimeter and Pat doesn’t solve that problem

Sadly you’re probably right.

 

[Hawkstrat]

I wish there was some mechanism where Fran could temporarily stop the action to inform his team of what they should be doing.

 

[Silky Johnson]

I think he was trying to say there isn’t much to burn.

I don’t hate Fran and love how he stands up for his guys, but his inability to land a playmaking pg and failure to teach defense are definitely problems for this team. I really want him to succeed, but now Sunday is almost a must win and not making a tournament with Tyler Cook isn’t a good look.

 

[HawkLax6]

That sucked.

 

[CamelTones]

I would think the game plan would be to double Edwards off every screen to get the ball out of his hands, and rotate behind that.

Instead, Cook and Kriener both had moments where they decided to stay with someone like Cline and the person that was suppose to be guarding him ended up looking for someone to guard while they dunked behind them. It was terrible fundamentally.

Huh? That’s the exact time TO fire someone. They inherit a decent amount of talent.

 

[L. Wade Childress]

Also, the fans have been showing up. Another year or two of this shit and they will stop entirely.

 

[StinkyMcFadden]

Iowa has the only guard who is the son of the coach who can't/won't shoot.

Even lil' Lick wasn't scared.

Connor is a HUGE disappointment. I'm sure Wade was trying to shove him in his mouth for even the smallest positive things in chat, but he's below average.

 

[ClintWalker]

Staring down the barrel of an 0-4 conference start. It's going to be tough to finish .500.

 

[hawkeyealum]

I wish there was some mechanism where Fran could temporarily stop the action to inform his team of what they should be doing.

 

[Tugboat]

Can’t recruit guards. End of story.

 

[nolookpass]

It's a guards game. If bohannon isn't hitting shots, he's of zero value. Garza would have helped a lot tonight, but any team with above average guards is going to torch Iowa.

You can get by as a guard being below average quick or not having an outside shot.

You can't get by if you have both those traits.

 

[hawkeyealum]

He can’t even shake his defender loose to get to an open shot off a screen. He so goddamned slow

 

[Thomas Wolsey]

Fuck, this is incredible.

It is reliable. I played trains with my son after half time.
