Doug. I took Foxhawks cock out of my throat. We good now?Doug. Let's be buds. Let's also completely ignore tonight's game. Convince me Iowa plays good defense and Fran is a good coach. Call me a Wal Mart fan or whatever, but convince me. Thanks
Lastly, you are the toughest motherf'er on this board. If someone picks a fight with me, I am calling you for backup. Stay hard!
Yep. Fran said Keegan beats himself up more than he should. Missed some open 3's tonight and that look inside he should've had but is our best rebounder, maybe our best defender. Couple lapses tonight but got 31 minutes and will be better for it. Perkins got 7 crunch time minutes. Nunge had bad hands and a couple quick shots but was a legit presence inside and sparked that spurt we had. Toussaint had his usual couple mistakes going too fast but was 3-5 and overall played better than he had been.I reeeeeeeeally want to win the regular season douche championship, but losses like this are still going to happen. Oh the horror of losing to a top 10 team (NET) on the road without a starter. Douche champ is still within reach. Also, games like this give the younger guys experience that help them learn and grow, especially when Fran shows them confidence in a big game like this. That will/should help guys like Murray and Perkins later this year when it really counts. Hell it should help for next game if CJ is still out.
Losing sucked, but that’s generally how shit works on the road, especially if your opponent is actually good and fired up on top of it. Hard for me to get too pissed off based on the situation. This team is still really fucking good.
(Really need to get CJ healthy though too btw)
This game doesn’t hurt for the giant douche, but Minnesota and Indiana did. Michigan will be tough to overcome. The margin is super narrow.I reeeeeeeeally want to win the regular season douche championship, but losses like this are still going to happen.

I'd rather have him off the ball at this point. It's easier to sell those fouls when you don't have to worry about turning the ball over. Maybe use him like Golden State uses Curry and make him a screener to make the defense make some tough decisions. I think it's easier for the defense when the ball is in his hands.If CJ is out much longer, Fran needs to figure out ways to open up the offense for Jordan. He’s getting hounded by the defense. Just watch how teams are now defending him as he crosses half court whether or not he has the ball.
I would imagine the players would prefer fans at home.The Fran Fade is stupid and even more this year. A team a veterans, plus not 5k stupid Hawkeye fans packing Carver moaning if the squad gets down 5-7 points in the 2nd half of a game.
It sucks not being at Carver, but nice the players can play without hearing idiots boo and head for the exits at the under 4:00 mark.
That would be ideal but then you have to find ways to get Connor to the wing to feed Garza.I'd rather have him off the ball at this point.

I really like Nunge inside. His rebounding and shot blocking is a legit talent. Him shooting a 3 with 20 seconds left on the shot clock is my biggest problem (unless he makes it of course). Toussaint might be my biggest issue lately. Right or wrong I’m not seeing jack from him and I think he disrupts everything. He’ll pull something out of his ass every once in awhile, but the Walmart fan in me wants to see Ulis.Yep. Fran said Keegan beats himself up more than he should.

I think the excuse is he isn't very athletic or strong, so his defender doesn't give him any space.Btw it’s amazing how much better Connor is at feeding the post than anyone else. bohannon is dogshit which is really inexcusable.
Just a travestyThat was our 2nd lowest free throw rate (FTA/FGA) since 2011. We attempted 47 2's. 6 free throws. 3 of which were 1 and 1's in the bonus. 1 was on Connor being fouled on a 3. Wieskamp had our only shooting foul on 47 2 point attempts at 15:33 of the 2nd half. Zero and one's.
Agreed.I think the excuse is he isn't very athletic or strong, so his defender doesn't give him any space.
Block that Trumper.
They don't have access to film?One thing people need to keep in mind come tournament time is teams outside the Big Ten will defend Iowa much different because they’re less familiar. bohannon will make plenty of shots then.
They’re playing on short turnarounds. There’s only so much they can study and most of it will be the most recent film. Big Ten coaches have played against bohannon 6-8 times,They don't have access to film?
I can still here the clicking of that reel from Government class.
Hassel can get bent. Let's win 4 in a row and shut all these fake fans up.This is a shortened clip but Fran actually did a good job. Some media members asked him to discuss the refs and he was able to do it in a way that prevents him from getting fined and still got his point across. He even complimented Chad several times
Eickholt is like 24 years old and is more mature with a better understanding of how things work then almost all the other Iowa media guys. Maybe Hassel could pull his head out of his ass long enough for a little self reflection. Probably too much to ask for the star of an internet sports channel 7 people watch.
Do we care anymore? I don’t. He doesn’t deserve that respect.Anyone in this thread going to speak Chris’ last name correctly or are we just letting that go?
TouchéDo we care anymore? I don’t. He doesn’t deserve that respect.
Just @ me you pussy.Ole Chris is digging in like a drunken haloite on a Sunday night.
If I added douche bag in there I would have!Just @ me you pussy.
