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

[kenos]

they look alike

that confuses me

 

[BluesHawk]

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.

 

[kenos]

he's already a 30-something rec goon

 

[The Full Monte]

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.

ZERO chance Kris is back at Iowa next year

 

[Hawk_Kegmasters]

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

You racist fuck

[hawkeyealum]

I’d like to see Connor beat the shit out of Patrick and then talk about it on their stupid podcast while Pat sits there with his jaw wired shut

 

[snips]

the good news - we got a very 'un-Fran' like class coming in next year .
Sandfarts brother.
2 white guys from the same high school in Iowa.
This will get us over the hump boys

 

[Revolver]

If buying players is the way to go for next year, SWARM’s #1 priority for the basketball team next season should be trying to pay Kris enough to come back.

 

[KitKatApples]

Barta better let Fran send out that video

 

[The Tin Man]

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

Went to the mattresses??

No wire is strong enough to stop Pat from breathing out of that mouth.

 

[L. Wade Childress]

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.

Joe T would make this bad team worse.

 

[L. Wade Childress]

Yep. The "strength" coach is stealing.

yes, most S&C guys have a rigorous program to strengthen the mind.

 

[L. Wade Childress]

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.

we just have too many important guys playing hurt.

 

[L. Wade Childress]

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

you’ve obvious never played halo hoops with @Costanza

You are missing someone. But attention to facts is not a Halo strength.

Pass

 

[Revolver]

Pass

if you’re saying it is not worth it, I can buy that, but they ain’t getting anyone better than Kris. If they want to toss money around to improve things immediately Kris is the first play, then add others.

 

[coff]

Fran has rarely had teams that struggle to score like this.

Wow, that was insightful.

 

[coff]

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.

Actually, Rebraca has some toughness, but he appears to be the only one.

 

[AZmessDAWG]

@AZmess DAWG’S second favorite player ever slightly behind Josh Ogelsby.

You’re stupid

 

[Revolver]

Wow, that was insightful.

coff, have you ever wanted to fuck a man as badly as you want to fuck MikeyJoe?

Well, I will never have a chance, given that you have your nose permanently up his ass.

Most of this post is wrong.

 

[Hawkstrat]

Coff is the exact opposite of what Fry said about not telling people where you keep your goat.

I don't even check the main board anymore- new Halo sucks worse than old Halo, but I can sort of tell what's going based on when Coff Kool-aid mans his way into a thread to insult someone for no reason.

Dude, you're advertising your insecurities.

Fucking PWNED his ass

 

[Will McCoy]

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.

Can one donate to the Swarm to ensure someone doesn’t play?

Asking for a friend.

 

[OlePeep]

I reject the "toughness" critique (well, except for Pat). Fran's philosophy/scheme/approach is one more attuned to the game as it was played in the 70's and 80's, and I love him for it. It really cannot stand up to today's rape-o-rama that is college MBB.

You advocates of "tough defense" do so because you're not really basketball players (and I most certainly am not nor have ever been a basketball player). Basketball players are born, not developed through grit and determination. "Tough Defense" just allows a bunch of "hard working hustle players" to fuck up what should be a free-flowing athletic spectacle after the game became a "contact sport". it's bullshit. That's what football is for.

When i was a kid my high school played a home-and-home w/ W'loo East each season. The winner of that game was almost always scoring in the 90's, sometimes over 100. And this before the 3 pt basket. That was the kind of hoops I learned and loved watching.

I hope Fran dies on this hill if necessary, and never gives in.

One of the best results from lifting weights is the mental toughness and discipline it requires and leads to habit.

oh. Well they should start lifting weights then.

I see nothing wrong with Fran's overall game philosophy... if only he had the horses to make it work.
He is constantly trying to squeeze a round peg into a square hole.

Do I have some good news for you!

 

[Hawkstrat]

I also hope Kirk dies on the hill of what should be allowed when running the stretch play. If you disagree your obviously not a real football fan.

Nobody is talking about tough defense. We would just like to see some general toughness and not soft guys who don’t rebound or contest others or appear lazy.

 

[HiawathaHawk]

Unrelated to this game but general CBB officiating:

 

[OlePeep]

denizens of this board have bemoaned poor defense and "toughness" throughout Fran's tenure. It's mostly just a different style.

I reject the idea that the only alternative to last night is to throw everything about Iowa basketball currently out the window and say “guess we’ll play rape ball like the rest of them.”

 

[MikeyJoe]

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

He came off the bench and fouled out with 5 points. They lost.

fwiw peace
