Agreed. I’m not against criticizing Fran but that’s a horrible overreaction.1st sentence Fran said they were all DISAPPOINTED tonight. He then stated they won 22 games this year which is an 8 game improvement from last year. Fran then goes on to say he proud of his team and mentioned Baer by name. WTF is wrong with the statement Hassel? I’m sure if an ISU coach said this statement word for word you would be slobbering all over them. Babbling like a school girl on how this statement should be put in the hall of great statements and bronzed... But yeah,most know your CNN,fake news,typical media Drama career is as good as it will get....
Did anyone anywhere ever say anything about Tyler Cook being hurt or is that just something you came up with because he wasn’t playing well?The upside is we get a week to rest and recover. Cook looks healthy again. But Bohannon is clearly laboring.
Was traveling last night missed the action. I did catch the tail end of Duke/North Carolina game. Hope we don't have to face either of these teams in the tournament because if you're upset about how we stacked up with Michigan you will be crushed after any match up with these 2 teams.
If the goal was qualifying for the NCAA Tourney then it is probably met. One out of 4.5 programs meet that goal. For the current Iowa team it appears to be the epitome of achievement. A .500 conference record and a .666 overall winning percentage are above mediocre. After the FBI recruiting revelations of the past two years and the academic fraud permitted at some colleges maybe the record isn't all that bad when taken in to consideration.
In the sense that they had 6th place all to themselves, with 8 teams below them.A .500 conference record
How is this "above mediocre"?
This is the definition of mediocre
Can we ask for an 11 seed?The Hawkeyes dropped three spots in the NET after the loss to No. 44.
Going to be on the 8/9 lines, most likely. That's a No 1 seed if you make it to Round 2.
Tyler hadn’t dunked the ball in a month before Thursday. I should have said he looks 100% I guess...to avoid answering a pointless question like this one. He was high flying and moving quicker.Did anyone anywhere ever say anything about Tyler Cook being hurt or is that just something you came up with because he wasn’t playing well?
Bohannon looked to have a little tired legs but for the most part I’d chalk that up to very good defense on the part of Zavier Simpson.
Sometimes you’re simply outmatched or just having a bad night, the injury excuse is so lame.
