**Nebrantska vs Iowa basketball- 12-29-22, 6:00 BTN**

[BuffettHawk]

The usual stuff that happens when we are getting our asses kicked: the dorks start start constantly whining about the refs, I make a few comments laughing about them being faggots, and Doug gets pissy about it.

Well, that and Buffett published a list of every member’s name, email, Facebook and LinkedIn page and employer’s contact info, along with several death threats. And AZ kept offering to blow everyone.

You know, the usual.

 

[snips]

ON PAPER this team has some skill and can provide match up problems based on our length and transition game.
ON THE COURT this team sucks cock.

 

[Fair and Balanced]

If I’m Fran…I’d walk in the lockeroom and flip shit. I don’t want to hear one word…ONE WORD about NIL, getting paid. Not a word. Shut your fucking mouths. First MF’er that says a word about getting a deal/contract is cut.

Fran went to the fucking mattresses for these guys. Did EVERYTHING to help them….and they honor it with that kind of effort? That’s pure fucking disrespect

Lol.

Fran will and should be pissed, but other than fan envy, it has absolutely nothing to do with players making/trying to make money off of NIL. That has nothing to do with this shit show.

 

[Fair and Balanced]

I hope Lwade drove to Lincoln

Lwade went wherever Garta need a chauffeur (and blow job).

 

[Hawkstrat]

A dangerous form of road head

 

[The Full Monte]

Very few coaches in either football or basketball have put in the personal level of effort to get players paid

There were a couple guys that flat out quit on Fran tonight.

Yeah, I’d take that personally. It’s not the only issue, but it’s one I would have a problem with

 

[6deuce]

You forgot to call him a faggit

No I didn’t

 

[Herbie2]

And where are you getting this information?

 

[douglasbader]

What happened.

F&B was whining about you and Rush Limbaugh again.

 

[BBK]

On defense, Patrick McCaffery is a cancer

 

[Fair and Balanced]

Jesus.

 

[BBK]

 

[Fair and Balanced]

I'm not saying he is bad, but at some point this is supposed to be college basketball. Guys are supposed to be here 4 or maybe 5 years and get out.

I fucking hate the Covid year. It was a stupid decision by the NCAA.

You think you hate it now, wait until next fall.

 

[BBK]

You think you hate it now, wait until next fall.

Hey, I hear that guy is leaving...

 

[Fair and Balanced]

I know they don’t and can’t, but if KF and Garta controlled the NIL fund, how much of it would they direct to bringing back Peaches?

[Kamala]

It’s not a great time for Hawkeye
Athletics

 

[BillyBob]

A lifetime of sunny d, capri sun, and getting picked up on time has left patrick mopey and weak.

 

[L. Wade Childress]

Not a very likable collection of players right now. This year is trending poor, next year is hard to see the significant improvement necessary. A high major team should not be missing the tournament multiple years in a row so shit better get fixed quick or addressed in the portal.

a high major team should not be missing the tournament multiple years in a row.

LOL!

 

[The Dad]

Maybe the BTN studio assholes will finally stop referring to Iowa as a dark horse contender for the conference title now.

 

[CleteyColgate]

It’s not a great time for Hawkeye
Athletics

For what sports?

 

[L. Wade Childress]

For what sports?

men’s swimming

 

[nolookpass]

Will this losing cause Patrick to leave for the nba?

Connor should call out the Iowa fans again.

Meanwhile, Joe(The Key) and #24 W. Virginia play tonight.

I get this is a cute troll, but what style of basketball would you like to see?

 

[StinkyMcFadden]

Ulis hitting the top of the backboard on a wide open 3 is pretty amazing.

 

[CamelTones]

Sandfartnoises also hit the top of the backboard on a 3 point attempt.

 

[CamelTones]

If I was Fran, these would be my starters on Sunday

PG-Connor
SG-Perkins
SF-Sandfart
PF-Murray
C-Rebraca

Yes Sandfart has been terrible but you have to figure out a way to get his shot going. Moving him to the bench has made it worse. And, even though he got his shit blocked, he at least tried to hammer down that dunk at the end of the game which showed me he’s frustrated and tried to take out some anger. Patrick would have put up an embarrassing shot there.

 

[Talkin' Goat]

Sandfartnoises

 

[nikolausp]

"Thank you Professor Condon!"

lmao... @tcondon podcast

 

[HerkyHopeful]

It's not all that hopeless. Perkins and Murray just need to get going like they end of last season.
Need average production from Ulis and Bowen. Need Rebraca to play as he has been. Connor can do what he did in the beginning of the year and Pat can just stop being a pussy dipshit dumbass. Sandfort minutes should go to Dix until he mentally is over whatever the fuck he has going on. He's forcing too many shots now.

This team really damaged NCAA tournament chances in the last stretch of 3 games but they can still have another middle of the pack big ten finish this year. Lol at anyone thinking this was a big ten contender though.

I think the opposite. I think he thought the guy was just going to let him dunk it since the game was over, but instead he stuffed it back in his face. He should have taken it to the rim with two hands and pwned the dude if he was frustrated. This team just lacks toughness.

This is true of almost every Fran team ever. There has been the rare tough player (Garza) but it’s never enough to overcome the overall soft weakness of the team as a whole.

 

[snips]

this.
Pat seems to wilt away if anyone looks at him the wrong way.
Maybe a function of Margaret yelling at him too much in childhood or something.

Yep. The "strength" coach is stealing.

 

[Herbie2]

Lifting weights doesn't make a team tough.

 

[nolookpass]

Lifting weights doesn't make a team tough.

Not lifting them doesn't either

 

[Saul Berkley]

This team has too many flaws to compete. No shooting, no defense, and no toughness.

 

[Hawk_Kegmasters]

Even Kris is little more than a spot up shooter right now. He’ll grab some boards and play some D, but he’s not effective as a post-up guy, slasher or driving by his man.

Has he ever been? That’s the biggest difference between him and Keagan.

 

[Stu Beagle]

We miss JBo because no other guard can shoot apparently. And Kris is good but he is no Keagan.

 

[Hawk_Kegmasters]

Has he ever been? That’s the biggest difference between him and Keagan.

Probably not. But I was hoping for more development in those areas when he was clearly going to be leaned on this season.

I guess I hoped there was more to his game that we weren’t seeing last year but he just didn’t have the opportunity to do so because of the other high volume players that left.

 

[6deuce]

I believe this is all @Hawk_Kegmasters fault and we should probably kill him.

 

[kenos]

On the plus side, looks like now you get Keegan and Tony back next year, healthy. Projections of either or both going to get paid look much less likely.

Unfortunately, you also get another year of Pat.

2 more years of Pat buddy

 

[Debit One]

There has never been an Iowa player who throws up more shots of the < 10% chance of success profile than Mr. Patrick McCaffery.

 

[kenos]

Our long national nightmare

 

[StinkyMcFadden]

There has never been an Iowa player who throws up more shots of the < 10% chance of success profile than Mr. Patrick McCaffery.

I just appreciate his overall effort in all aspects of the game.

The next time he gets into some sort of defensive position will be the first. He just wanders around aimlessly while standing completely upright and wooden.

Someone needs to oil his hinges.

 

[Greg Obrecht]

Will this losing cause Patrick to leave for the nba?

Connor should call out the Iowa fans again.

Meanwhile, Joe(The Key) and #24 W. Virginia play tonight.

Iowa needs another terrible shooting guard on its roster like Joe T. We didn’t have enough guys go 1-9 last night.

 

[CurdMan]

If by Keegan you mean Kris I don’t think there’s any chance he is back next year. He’s already old. He’s not his brother but he’s still a solid NBA prospect as a long, athletic forward with plenty of range.
