Fuck. Ugly game. Good comeback especially since Maryland kept getting back to 8-10 every time iowa made a couple baskets.

Block out.

Get a better shot than that force with 7 seconds on the clock.

Cook was essentially a no show.

Well three 1 or 2 point games and you win 2. This would have been a nice one to get.

They have to stop playing like shit for 30 minutes though.

A pass or some amount of ball movement on that last play would have been nice. A two wins it and a shitty 3 was taken with 4 seconds to go. Not ideal but probably deserved after the last two games.

Refs aren't going to call it in that situation but Moss was undercut on that last shot.

Difficult to be too hard on this team. Flush it and move on. Lots to play for.

Terrible shot by bohannon. Didn’t need that.
He got fouled
Yeah didn’t look obvious love but the replay clearly showed they hit him on the arm.

But he had 2 good looks earlier when Iowa was up 1 and a minute left. Unfortunately he didn’t knock them down tonight.

Played hard on D for the most part but offense was sloppy, no one could hit a shot, and no one got a body on Fernando all night

Yeah I think it was just a crappy rushed shot without much space. They defended him well, and Iowa made it way too easy

Not sure why you would draw up the play to have the shooter going against his body. But also don’t think that’s what they drew up.

Maryland is long and athletic. They’ll be tough to beat in the NCAA tournament.

I really like Cook, however tonight is exhibit A as to why he’s not a NBA player. Fernando influences both sides of the court with his size and ability.

Iowa’s offense was not great most of the night but hit a few more 3s and this would’ve been a win.

Thought so originally, but not seeing it on replay.

Fernando put that back in with 4 Hawks around him. No other Terp in the lane. For some reason they went JBo on Cowan in man. Not smart.
Those are the situations that Fran could go offense/defense with his substitutions. Why even have bohannon on the floor?

Moss might have the slowest first step on defense I’ve ever seen. That includes bohannon.

I think one more would’ve done it, but I’m not much with the maths.

66% free throw shooter goes 7-8 including huge ones late. Sucks that Fernando is the one the made late plays because he’s a jackass.

Maryland also hit 3 or 4 shots as the shot clock was at 1. Now if a couple of the close outs would have been a little better maybe they don’t have an easy rhythm jumper.

But Maryland answered with a 3 almost every time Iowa got it to 5 or 6 until the last 4 minutes.

If Iowa continues to play defense like that they’ll be really tough down the stretch. The offense has been pretty meh since the first half of the Indiana game. They’re due to have a big game. bohannon, Garza and Wieskamp combined to go 3-23. Indiana is going to get pounded in the ass.

I have a hard time believing that is what they drew up.
Ummm, Fran isn’t exactly known for drawing up plays. Have you ever watched the end of a half / game he has coached?
I actually think Fran has some great set plays and inbound plays. Ultimately end of game situations come down to someone being able to go one on one to get their own shot or draw the defense and create for others. Fran has literally never had that guy on the roster. It's still his fault but it's more of a recruiting issue than coaching.

That last play was awful. No ball screens or anything

The whole team was bad tonight but I still cannot stand Connors game. His BPM is second worst on the team to Dailey and he shoots 36%. It’s disgusting

Wanted Fran to get away from doubling down on Fernando. Maryland was too good at finding the open guy for 3

He has great inbound plays from under the hoop but that’s about it. Other than that he doesn’t draw up shit. I like Fran, it’s just not one of his strong suits.

Who runs set plays at the end of games? You might go with a ball screen to get a switch and mismatch but it is still someone creating on their own. It's a personnel issue.

Maryland had 3 guys standing around jerking each other off after they made the put back. Baer called the timeout. Iowa should have thrown it in and advanced it to their end then called it. Might have had 4-5 seconds and been able to run a set out of bounds play.

Now, expecting players to think of that in that situation in a split second isn’t fair.

The blame goes to the first half and only scoring 23 points. Missed free throws, a missed layup/dunk thingy by Kriener, and some really odd turnovers.

Why was bohannon even in the game and why would he be on cowin?

Kreiner has to leave Fernando because bohannon got torched. I say this with sincerity, and it pains me, but dailey or Connor should have been in for defense and bohannan on the bench.

Why does it pain you? It's the smart thing to do. Dailey is by far the best option. He's pretty quick laterally and has length. It happens all the time at the end of halves. There will be only one defensive possession left and Fran will leave bohannon and/or Garza of the floor. He's just a dumbfuck sometimes.

Program said 76% and Joe had that last fucking rebound before he tipped it in but jumped a split second too early

Having bohannon on the floor wasn’t that dumb. Having him guard Cowan in man was (although he did a great job on him early). A little surprised they didn’t go zone there to try and take away the drive. Of course then you would have to deal with rebounding over Fernando in a zone.

Ah I was confused because 66% is his fucking field goal percentage. Holy shit!

I haven't posted in like 5 years, but need to tell you how big of a dumb fuck you are for that comment. Fran draws up fantastic out of bounds plays and has since the second he got here.
