**Iowa vs. Wisconsin Basketball Thread - 1/6/22 - 8:00pm - FS1**

[douglasbader]

I was furious about bohannon coming back, and then happy for a bit, and back to furious. He gives nothing to this team. Less than nothing and actually is stunting the growth of others. Can't wait until him and Connor are fucking gone.

 

[Talkin' Goat]

Doug, by shutting it off, you missed Iowa making a little run (4 or 5 straight points), getting the ball and heading up the court on a fast break. Ulis got in the lane, was cut off and kicked it out to a wide open white player at the top for 3. But it was Connor and he didn’t shoot it. The entire team sighed and it turned into a half court possession that they didn’t score on.

He was calming the team down.

This is sadly incredibly fucking accurate. Especially the team sigh.

 

[J1973s]

JBo played 29 fucking minutes.

 

[Hawkstrat]

Man you are a loser.

Whatever.

 

[AZmessDAWG]

Furious

 

[Hawkstrat]

Wisconsin had 15 offensive rebounds.

 

[HawkBall23]

JBo played 29 fucking minutes.

I don't know where it translated in terms of his minutes played, but he didn't attempt an actual shot from the field until about 35 minutes had run off the game clock.

WTF was going on with him tonight?! Not only was it a big game for his team, but also the one regular season game (& his last, overall) vs Wisconsin this season, IE the team all his brothers played for. He was a huge net negative before he actually made a couple 3s - after the game was decided.

 

[CamelTones]

I’d be good with bohannon trying to hunt shots like he did at the end of the game. He’s a much better player when he does that.

 

[Whatever]

Whatever.

Good one, honkey.

 

[Billy Butters]

I’d be good with bohannon trying to hunt shots like he did at the end of the game. He’s a much better player when he does that.

The problem is when the defense is trying he can hunt all he wants but rarely gets a clean look. I started to laugh when Fran ran the stupid fucking set with bohannon running the baseline and no secondary action. It was a good 6-7 seconds with multiple guys screening and bohannon couldn't get the slightest bit of space.

 

[Billy Butters]

I don't even know if Ulis or Perkins is good but if the erratic minute distribution continues I bet one of them leaves.

 

[SuperHans]

I don't where it translated in terms of his minutes played, but he didn't attempt an actual shot from the field until about 35 minutes had run off the game clock.

He’s always disappeared against better competition. Maybe worse this year because there’s no Luka drawing the defense towards the post and he’s not comfortable playing off ball.

 

[Fletch]

Patrick got beat by his man at least 4 times on cuts to the basket for an easy score. He can eat shit too.

 

[Greg Obrecht]

Patrick got beat by his man at least 40 times on cuts to the basket for an easy score. He can eat shit too.

 

[Alan Lomax]

So the only person in iowa city not sick of JBo is Fran. Great.

 

[Greg Obrecht]

Iowa AdjO 3 AdjD 162

Not optimal

 

[SuperHans]

Unless he suffers a major setback [IE injury] before the season is over, there is no way on God's green Earth that Keegan Murray doesn't enter the next NBA Draft.

And who would blame him? This team's ceiling, for next season, is looking very low currently.

Keegan should go.

That said, if he does come back, a good coach in 2022 should be able to sell transfers on playing with a POTY favorite. Bring in multiple battle hardened guys and remake the team to complement Keegan. That’s how this sport works now.

 

[Greg Obrecht]

Keegan is definitely leaving. Kenyon pretty much stated as such on TOS.

 

[douglasbader]

Of course Keegan is going to go you fucking idiots. Why is anyone even discussing this?

 

[Greg Obrecht]

Wishful thinking on their part, Doug

Why? Connor,bohannon, and Ash are all gone. Should be pretty awesome if Keegan is back.

 

[HawkBall23]

You're right, those 3 big anchors won't be missed.

But until Fran hires a D & rebounding coordinator, the team ceiling will never rise past the Round of 32.

 

[6deuce]

It’s not happening. Fran needs to be shown the door.

 

[douglasbader]

It’s not happening. Fran needs to be shown the door.

Lol.

 

[Hawk_Kegmasters]

It’d be a shame if the big ten did something about the tweet and sat Connor down a game.

 

[douglasbader]

Connor is way out of line and should be suspended the rest of the season.

 

[douglasbader]

Honestly though, that is fucking stupid and a terrible look by Connor. You don't whine when you got your ass kicked.

 

[Hawk_Kegmasters]

Davison played a really good game. The fadeaways were unguardable. Doesn’t change the fact that he’s a dirty fuckhead, but he plain and simple played a big part in the beatdown.

 

[maxinquaye]

Frans boys should spend less time running their mouths and consider using that time getting better.

 

[Hawk_Kegmasters]

I thought Josh O and even Mulvey did a great job bodying up those bigs. They need more minutes against teams that are eating us up inside. (Which is most games) Josh O has ridiculous speed running down the middle of the court on the break too. I don’t know what would happen if they ever passed it to him when he was chugging along toward the bucket, though.

 

[SondyRules]

Connor being a great teammate to bench himself because his Dad won’t.

 

[L. Wade Childress]

JBo played 29 fucking minutes.

wait really?

 

[TurdBurgler]

They had a small lineup with pat at the 5 for a few minutes in the first half. went after him --- 2 baskets at the rim, and the 3rd he blocked and took coast to coast for one of his awful car-wreck runners that clanked off the rim. He is most frustrating guy on the team for me.

 

[hawkeyealum]

I DGAF if Fran is gone. I’m tired of watching a complete disaster on defense.

His sons both suck which doesn’t leave alot of confidence for Jack either at this point.

 

[kenos]

Fran's had solid rebounding teams before -- because he brought in some guys who weren't soft as tissue under the boards. Too many skinny kids who back down from contact this year. Nunge would have helped a lot.

 

[Will McCoy]

Of course Keegan is going to go you fucking idiots. Why is anyone even discussing this?

It’s an Iowa Hawkeye message board?

 

[Hawk4Life94]

/peace

 

[KitKatApples]

Is Pat CID?

 

[Fletch]

/peace

both of those numbers piss me off.

 

[The Dad]

 

[CamelTones]

It was 20-19, Wisconsin scores a couple points, on offense you have Perkins, Keegan and Kris all taking 15-18 foot jumpers. Wisconsin scores a few more points, Patrick attempts a layup where he’s falling away from the basket. Wisconsin is still scoring. Fran finally calls a timeout. Right out of the timeout Kris does some spin move and throws the ball towards the rim but he gets blocked. Wisconsin goes up 13.

The second terrible shot should have been a timeout. That stretch was basically the game.

I still can’t get over Ulis threw that pass to a wide open Connor for 3 and everyone on the court just froze.

 

[The Tin Man]

Patrick got beat by his man at least 4 times on cuts to the basket for an easy score. He can eat shit too.

I’m trying to pinpoint something he is good at.

 

[The Tin Man]

Rebraca and Sandfort are the only honkies that should play.

 

[StinkyMcFadden]

I’m trying to pinpoint something he is good at.

Genetics.

 

[Stu Beagle]

I usually go to 3 to 4 games a year. Doubt I go at all this year. Just don’t enjoy this team at all outside of Keagan.

 

[Alan Lomax]

Connor is worthless.

 

[Squat Cobbler]

Iowa's rebounding problems were there last year. Garza masked some of it but opponents were averaging 11.5 offensive rebounds and 37 total rebounds a game. This year opponents (half being terrible) are averaging 11.1 offensive rebounds and 36 total rebounds a game. And the blame goes to everyone. In conference (4 games), nobody is averaging over 5 rebounds. Murray, Murray, Pat, and Rebecca are the only players averaging over 3. It's time see if Mulvey and Ogu sink or swim. Sit Connor and limit Rebecca's time against bigs.

 

[Shawneemicks]

Been sayin

 

[CamelTones]

What has Rebracca done that people want to see more minutes for him?

(He did have that dunk against Iowa State)

 

[CurdMan]

Time to give Josh O legit minutes and see what happens.
