Iowa/Maryland SUITS AND SNEAKERS GAME! Tonight 6 PM BTN

[brantshawks]

That bow was not towards you, Michael.

 

[brantshawks]

I’m not sure who Iowa should have played those last 4 minutes but I know for sure Brock Harding should not have been one of them.

My old jiggly ass would have been at least somewhat of an improvement.

 

[douglasbader]

The next time Fran gets a real PG will be the first time since Bryce Cartwright. What a miserable roster PG's that either can't shoot, can't score, can't defend, can't distribute, can't get their own shot, cant do anything that hundreds of other PG's can do around the country.

What a shit string of players at the most important position in college basketball. Bowen another complete bust. Harding might be good someday, but he's about 145 pounds soaking wet in the Big Ten. Dix is a SG they have attempted to turn into a robot PG.

 

[RiotFan]

I’m not sure who Iowa should have played those last 4 minutes but I know for sure Brock Harding should not have been one of them.

Bowen and Braun on the last defensive possession would have been an upgrade.

 

[CamelTones]

I'd really really be curious to hear what Sandfort and Krikke were even supposed to be doing on that last defensive possession.

Sure giving up a wide open 3 isn’t ideal but holy fuck don’t give up a layup to their best player at the end of the game. The ineptitude is unbelievable.

 

[douglasbader]

Perkins makes it a 6 point game with 4:43 to go. The proceed to do this...

- Harding turnover
- Freeman commits a terrible 5th foul
- Fartman shits his pants and throws a terrible turnover
- Perkins fouls

Game went from 6 point lead to 2 points, then Krikie has the worst post layup attempt ever and they immediately give up the lead on a dagger end of the shot clock three.

They're stupid.

 

[The Incredible Hawk]

That Harding 3 near the end was bad.

 

[ClintWalker]

Sure giving up a wide open 3 isn’t ideal but holy fuck don’t give up a layup to their best player at the end of the game. The ineptitude is unbelievable.

But is it really unbelievable? We've seen a lot of this in the past decade and a half.

 

[Hawk&Balls]

On the plus side that was a non conference crowd for a 6 pm big ten game

 

[CamelTones]

Krikke had 3 or 4 of the weakest layup attempts I’ve ever seen. Every single one ended up getting blocked. My God dude, do they need to bring in Jess Settles to show you how to use a pump fake?

 

[iowa4ever20]

I’m not sure they did a single thing right starting with Freeman’s 4th foul onward.

 

[hawkeyealum]

This is the least Iowa basketball I’ve watched since I started watching Iowa basketball.

samsies

 

[Revolver]

I'd really really be curious to hear what Sandfort and Krikke were even supposed to be doing on that last defensive possession.

Krikke appeared to be sealing off defenders to allow Young to score.

 

[douglasbader]

This is the least Iowa basketball I’ve watched since I started watching Iowa basketball.

By far the least I have watched since 2009.

 

[Revolver]

The Hawks didn’t know what hit them when Maryland was pressing at the end.

 

[douglasbader]

Krikke had 3 or 4 of the weakest layup attempts I’ve ever seen. Every single one ended up getting blocked. My God dude, do they need to bring in Jess Settles to show you how to use a pump fake?

He sucks.

 

[Geese]

This is the least Iowa basketball I’ve watched since I started watching Iowa basketball.

I'm at The Criminal levels this year

 

[CamelTones]

Iowa didn’t make a shot the last 5:43.

 

[Thomas Wolsey]

It's amazing that Fran has never really landed a good PG. Just incredible actually.

 

[Geese]

tldw

Lmao u get me every time Thom

 

[L. Wade Childress]

Iowa didn’t make a shot the last 5:43.

this stat is sort of stupid because we were making free throws.

 

[CamelTones]

this stat is sort of stupid because we were making free throws.

*Tony Perkins was making free throws (6)

 

[Billy Butters]

So many hatable players. Pat and Sandfart being at the top of the list. Harding needs to figure out his shot to be effective at this level and it doesn't look very repeatable at this point. Outside of Dix there isn't a guy that I'm confident can make an open three.

 

[douglasbader]

It's amazing that Fran has never really landed a good PG. Just incredible actually.

At this point, who are Fran's top PG's?

1. Bryce Cartwrignt, the only actual PG and was only worth a shit for a year before getting hurt

Then you have a bucket of mismatched shitty parts for a 14 year stretch. Gesell was a SG. Connor was a SF or.... something. bohannon was also a SG. Trey Dickerson lol. Christian Williams lol. Joe Toussaint couldn't stay on his feet. Ulis was garbage. Bowen is a bust. Harding not looking great in the Big Ten.

His second best PG might have been Marble when forced to play it or maybe Clemmons his senior year.

Woof.

Just following recruiting since Fran has been here, they bring in tons of 6’8” guys for visits to football games etc. that have decent offers and are not bad prospects.

But we rarely hear about guard recruits. Bowen is the only one that I remember and when he committed it was a holy shit moment. But even he’s turned out to be very blah.

 

[ivan_drago]

I don’t hate any players. The group is just weird and not good together. It sucks this is how Fran will go out. This isn’t fun to watch.

It’s Dev. Not particularly close.

We all thought he finally had gotten a top level PG when Bowen committed. Turning out to be one of his biggest misses. He's not good.

 

[douglasbader]

It's so damn frustrating given that Fran was known at Sienna for having some bad ass tough mother fuckers at PG.

 

[Alan Lomax]

I’ve watched very little basketball this year, and the soft as baby shit offensive attempts matched only by the soft as baby shit defensive attempts are the reason why. That was pathetic. Also, they had a timeout left, it’s fucking stupid that they don’t advance the ball like the nba, but given that, pass to half court and call timeout. Don’t toss up a soft as baby shit attempt to end the game.

 

[Creed]

Not a great start to the whole “win the next 6” strategy.

Marble for sure. Then probably Toussaint or Clemmons? Woof indeed.

 

[L. Wade Childress]

We don’t have much data, but toussaint’s career along with the lack of development of gesell, Bowen, et al make me think that Fran just sucks at coaching the position.

I guess we will find out if (when) Bowen transfers this offseason.

 

[The Tin Man]

 

[Herbie2]

This team IS in unison...not a single player did the right thing defensively on this play.

 

[douglasbader]

Marble for sure. Then probably Toussaint or Clemmons? Woof indeed.

It's was roughly 11 straight years with Mike Gesell / Jordan bohannon / Connor McCaffery as the primary PG.

 

[rodg12]

Complete shitshow. I still don’t understand how the fuck this happens?

 

[HiawathaHawk]

Yep. Dix is entirely too passive way too often. Sandfort is just freaking out and spazzing this year. Patrick needs to get far away. Freeman is a stud and plays his ass off but makes freshman plays and gets a tough whistle sometimes. I haven’t had many bitches about Tony for a while. He is who he is but too much is on him too often. Krikke is a solid complimentary piece that’s having to do too much. Bowen lacks feel. Harding has flashes but is a freshman who can’t shoot.

They really missed Dembele tonight defensively. The whole thing was even more infuriating because the whole freedom of movement initiative is gone. Maryland kept holding and hacking more and more in the 2nd half because they weren’t getting called for it at all. The game turned into an ugly slog with little flow.

Still somehow got in control with a 6 point lead and gave it away. Maybe had 100 students show up. This sucks.

 

[ivan_drago]

I don’t hate Patrick. I think he’s just so completely checked out and lost and I feel legitimately sorry for him.

 

[L. Wade Childress]

I would pay so much to get a guard like
Buie.

 

[L. Wade Childress]

I don’t hate Patrick. I think he’s just so completely checked out and lost and I feel legitimately sorry for him.

At what point did he come out of the game for the last time?

 

[Herbie2]

11:47 left in the 2H

 

[Creed]

I’ve watched that at least a dozen times. They are all fucking retarded. Krikke makes Garza look like a defensive wizard. He didn’t even attempt to challenge the shot. Fartman thinks he’s athletic but this clip shows he’s not. Tony not stepping in shows the kind of leadership we have. Dix was a lost puppy chasing his tail after the screen. Bowen looked like he wanted to do something but didn’t know what and lost track of his guy. 0/5 is not great.

They are bad at defense because they are coached by a horrible defensive coach.

 

[HiawathaHawk]

11:47 left in the 2H

Think he only played about a minute in the 2nd half. Maybe 2. Then he was fully checked out and despondent on the bench. Turned it over, didn’t run back and thankfully was benched. Fran screamed at him to wake the fuck up 1H after he was sloppy and he at least got a traffic board right after, hit a couple shots. It’s nothing new but he needs to give it up. He looks fucking miserable.

Sandfort freaking out and showing up Freeman was bullshit.

this whole thing is starting to have a “taking some time away to focus on my family” vibe to it.

 

[HiawathaHawk]

Maybe, I just wonder if that’s wishful thinking from people that want change. Trilly Donovan said a month or two ago that he switched to a different agent and has no plans of going anywhere. I know the staff loves this freshman class and Tadjo/Koch.

 

[BBK]

I don’t hate Patrick. I think he’s just so completely checked out and lost and I feel legitimately sorry for him.

Can I dislike him and also agree with the 2nd sentence

Angel’s bro should’ve fouled out in the first half.
