God dammit as a lifelong diehard that quotes pisses me the fuck off. Almost makes me think we need a new coach if that type of mentality has seeped in.

I hope the refs don't let Wisconsin be a bunch of meanies and get away with touching our guys!
That's pathetic and makes me lose respect for Kriener and a little hope for the team. The correct answer, of course, is to say something to the effect of "as a player you've got to get a feel for how the game is being called and adjust accordingly".

Anything else is just a loser mentality which, unsurprisingly, you seem to gravitate toward.
I think his point is that it is difficult to get a sense for how the game is being called if the refs are being inconsistent.

"Our guards getting mugged"? It's victimhood, plain and simple.

The best thing about Fitz is how dumb he is.

He's like a hobo version of FaB, and angry Bovert.

You will have to forgive Fitz. The anticipation for the Wisconsin games can get him in quite a frenzy.

He effectively ended the game with that play, ya dipshit. He forced a turnover with :18 left and NC State having a chance to tie. Drawing a charge is an art and should be celebrated, lest every vestige of defense goes by the wayside.

The anti-charge crowd in b-ball is kinda like the "don't run to the short side of the field!" crowd in football. Just dumb.

Yeah I mean everyone should just sit back and take it in the ass as big ten basketball turns into rugby.

That will be good for the future of the sport.

Aaron White has a loser mentality compared to the likes of Fitz.

Fitz loves mugging and hacking and REALLY loves Wisconsin and charges.

What a fucking loser piece of shit.

Some of the shit that is allowed while defending guards trying to run around screens and move without the basketball in games for the last half-month or so would get you arrested for assault or molestation if done in the park at a pickup game.

If the refs turn the Badger flops into charges/pushes on Thursday night, the Hawks are fucked (unless they scorch the nets from deep).

It’s on Jordan, Moss and Joe to covert that perimeter physicality into fouls. They need to make it more clear to the refs that they are being impeded. Throw their head back on contact, force the ball into the rake and toss their hands up on bumps. It’s shit that seasoned guys make a living doing that our guys never seem to do.

They held a meeting Monday to get everyone on the same page. It’s happening boys.

Fran’s has how long to understand what Big Ten play looks like, for better or worse, and this is our guard roster.

I don’t like it either, but building a roster as if we play in a finesse league where they play pure basketball seems like an approach doomed to failure.

God I hope the kid from NYC is a tough little bastard.

We've seen this before with "meetings". I'd wager it makes very little difference.
Someone’s never done team building in the huddle room.
Does Wisconsin get to have one of these meetings as well, or just Iowa? I'm more curious how they are going to create perimeter shots or go back to playing inside out...maybe this meeting addressed that, I don't know.

Can Iowa just beat Wisconsin in something? Anything?

Please.

See, this is the type of critical thinking that's so pervasive on Halo. The notion that this single voice adds strength to the argument when in fact it leads to the opposite. But then again, I think most would agree that heavy users of social media tend to be pretty dumb, so I should know what I'm getting into.

It's been an awful 20 years, for the most part.

Kirk is 7-11 against Wisconsin.

Alford was 4-12.
The Criminal was 1-4.
Fran is 5-8.

Have we not learned anything? This is Iowa. If we do hack a Happ, I'm sure he will hit at an 80% clip.

I've had this conversation with a work buddy who is an official. He's officiated in college and has friends that are D1 refs. He defends officials to no end. Argues that all these defenders are in good position so they get away with it. So I show videos of bohannon getting shoved against MSU or hand-checked and grabbed in the last 4 games. He then comes back to this and says they need to play it up to get the calls. I think that is such bullshit. Call the fucking game, enforce the fucking rules. From talking to him and other official buddies of his, it is all just a game of how to get the calls and Iowa is really shitty at it when playing these uber aggressive teams.

Uh, remember when we tried to add athleticism and strength over skills and instinct in the 2015 class?

He is right. Basketball has been this way for 40 years. If you don't sell the foul, most aren't going to be called. Shit, do you think they are going to call fouls every fucking possession, on both ends? If they are going to simply call the game, the game would take 5 hours.

Players would adjust and stop fouling.

If they kept getting called for shit they'd stop doing it. I assume anyways.

It's the same as holding in football. The blatant stuff gets called.

It's something Iowa needs to adjust to, but their defensive intensity is such garbage, I don't think they could play that way of they wanted.

It’s more mind boggling to me that you’re allowed to get away with that shit on defense and Iowa still can’t guard anyone.
