**Iowa vs. Indiana Basketball Thread - 2/7/21 - 11:00am - Fox**

[douglasbader]

Last 2 games are right on Fran's shoulders.

 

[Hawkstrat]

I legit hate this team.

 

[Thomas Wolsey]

I posted it. Don’t blame me that they have one of the best players in the country and surround him with soft teammates and questionable coaching.

Fuck you. Sorry.

 

[douglasbader]

missed the game except for the end. did Touisant play?

Yes, and he was #2 reason Iowa lost. He was fucking garbage.

 

[newsbreaker]

Someone make Fran sit for 12 games.

 

[Alan Lomax]

missed the game except for the end. did Touisant play?

Yes. Poorly with two legit “what the fuck is he doing” plays. His minutes are disappearing. Ulis is outplaying him.

 

[Karl Hungus]

missed the game except for the end. did Touisant play?

We can end that experiment too. Ulis needs more minutes.

 

[Floyd R]

The Fran Fucking Fade

 

[Creed]

If you added up the IQs of all 3 mccaffreys, you might have one person of average intelligence.

 

[KitKatApples]

I’d be shocked if they win three more games the rest of the year they are fucking broke.

 

[Hawk&Balls]

They're going to fuck around and lose garza POTY

 

[The Tin Man]

Fuck Fran for fouling out his players. Fuck the zone. Fuck Simple Jack. Fuck Joe T. Fuck not feeding Garza nor driving all second half when you were in the bonus for 13 minutes.

 

[jd10]

this is beating a dead horse, but there will absolutely never be a better illustration of why the the foul auto-bench rule is dumb as fuck.

 

[Alan Lomax]

Fuck Fran for fouling out his players. Fuck the zone. Fuck Simple Jack. Fuck Joe T. Fuck not feeding Garza nor driving all second half when you were in the bonus for 13 minutes.

No shit. Up ten, in the bonus with 13 fucking minutes left. Just turrible.

 

[Squat Cobbler]

Can we put a monkey out there to coach the team? It would at least be entertaining.

 

[Debit One]

Fuck Fran for fouling out his players. Fuck the zone. Fuck Simple Jack. Fuck Joe T. Fuck not feeding Garza nor driving all second half when you were in the bonus for 13 minutes.

That’s a pretty good summary of the game.

 

[jabberjaw]

Fran’s T certainly didn’t help

 

[ClintWalker]

They better start winning if they're going to win the conference championship.

 

[Hawk_Kegmasters]

Nice showing from the bench today. 0-12 from the field. When the other team’s guards shoot 4-26, you should win by 30.

 

[Alan Lomax]

Sitting your best player for 30%+ of a game is inexcusable.

 

[hawkeyealum]

this is beating a dead horse, but there will absolutely never be a better illustration of why the the foul auto-bench rule is dumb as fuck.

I understand he ended with two fouls but He also played no fucking d to put himself in a position to get fouls

 

[The Dad]

Nunge played 82 minutes today and scored 2 points.

 

[Hawkstrat]

I would like an Iowa basketball reset. It's not happening, but this is infuriating.

"OMG you're so Wal-Mart fan, Iowa is a top 20ish team, rah-rah."

Same shit, every fucking game.

 

[Debit One]

Sitting your best player for 30%+ of a game is inexcusable.

BUT HE HAD TWO FOULS!

 

[nolookpass]

Fuck Fran for fouling out his players. Fuck the zone. Fuck Simple Jack. Fuck Joe T. Fuck not feeding Garza nor driving all second half when you were in the bonus for 13 minutes.

whos gonna drive? bohannon? Connor? we have the slowest backcourt in all of college basketball

 

[Stu Beagle]

Nunge played 82 minutes today and scored 2 points.

Feels like he missed about 26 shots

 

[CamelTones]

Up 13 points in the first half, end the half down 2

Up 10 in the second half. End up losing by 2.

Fran deserves all the blame in this game. You cannot bench the NPOY for 12 minutes in the first half. You can’t go zone with your most athletic lineup to end the first half. You’re last possession of the first half, Joe T took the ball with 30 seconds left and didn’t throw a single pass. He might still be dribbling in the locker room. Why was bohannon not in?

 

[Slanderous]

whos gonna drive? bohannon? Connor? we have the slowest backcourt in all of college basketball

Hopefully Ulis or Perkins. Wieskamp had a nice drive today.

[BngHawk]

Glad I didn’t waste my time. What a bunch of shit.

 

[Stu Beagle]

Team is soft and pretty average to be honest. Teams have figured out how to slow down Garza

 

[Dr. Zaius]

Very rarely do any of Fran’s players foul out. Keegan did today, allegedly but Fran’s bullshit needs to stop

 

[The Tin Man]

Can Fran be coach emeritus and let Speraw do the in game coaching?

 

[nolookpass]

it aint on Joe T. he was great two games ago then gets 4 minutes vs OSU. Fran doesnt want anyone to see theres no reason for Connor to be starting on any D1 team.

 

[The Dad]

This team sure loves to stand and watch.

Connor is fucking helpless defensively.

 

[The Tin Man]

whos gonna drive? bohannon? Connor? we have the slowest backcourt in all of college basketball

JoeW, Ulis, Perkins, Keegan. They don’t have to play Simple Jack.

 

[Kamala]

“Good” is probably the ceiling for Iowa’s program under Fran. If we cant be great this year it seems unlikely to ever happen. I hope I can remember that and not go all Cyclone Fan this off-season

 

[Skinny Skier]

JoeW, Ulis, Perkins, Keegan. They don’t have to play Simple Jack.

We get three more years of Jack

 

[Hawkstrat]

Yeah, let Fran coach him.

 

[BngHawk]

I like how Joe T’s feet fall out from under him because he is incapable of controlling his body when moving quickly. It’s the equivalent of watching Jake Christensen throw a 4 yard pass 700 mph into the ground.

 

[Dr. Zaius]

“Good” is probably the ceiling for Iowa’s program under Fran. If we cant be great this year it seems unlikely to ever happen. I hope I can remember that and not go all Cyclone Fan this off-season

Unless Fran has a lottery pick or 2 fall into his lap

You didn’t watch the game today.

He’s under .500 in the conference. The fade isn’t a thing because they are really never that good. Sort of average.

 

[Kamala]

Unless Fran has a lottery pick or 2 fall into his lap

He has the leading National Player of the Year candidate, currently.

 

[Karl Hungus]

You didn’t watch the game today.

It doesn't matter. Like with everything else, he starts with the conclusion and then argues from there.

 

[nolookpass]

This team sure loves to stand and watch.

Connor is fucking helpless

its the same every game.

 

[Hawk4Life94]

We can end that experiment too. Ulis needs more minutes.

Ulis had a WTF pass that he got bailed out in with an Indiana tip.

 

[Debit One]

1. Why do you hate coaches so much?

2. Why do you so badly want Joe T to be the answer to every question?
