That is a strawman

I question how an Iowa basketball fan in the 2000's, who watched Lickliter's pathetic teams can say this is a sad, sad state. This sucks ***. It isn't fun at all and has been frustrating but this isn't some sad, horrible state. ****, in a couple weeks we could randomly figure things out and all...

Uhhh, sad, sad state is kinda hyperbole.

I kinda want us to try not hedging on every screen next game. I kinda got tired of watching a great three point shooting team get wide open threes because we hedged on everything. The next game isn't that meaningful so it'd be fun to try something and maybe see what can be done to get the team...

Well, they aren't getting a new coach so this is what we got.

I want so damn bad to be like Wisconsin, or a program like that (because honestly, who really wants to be like ******* Wisconsin, we're ******* Iowa and so much cooler) where winning is just ingrained in the program. I want to be the program that's lauded for mental toughness. That would be cool...

Fact is, building an elite program from nothing is so damn hard. I'm not saying we're going to get there but this could easily be part of the transition phase and honestly, it is, it isn't that bad. We've got more solid recruits coming in and it's possible that they'll be better mentally then we...

We're not even close to searching for a new coach so this is a weird discussion. Also, asking like hell to get bumped if we figure something out and make a run in the tournament (which, technically, can happen.)

Again, they are probably a 5 seed at this moment. One loss doesn't put you from a 5 seed to the bubble. This collapse sucks *** and we shouldn't even be thinking 6-7 seed but they'd be nowhere near the bubble.

I'm hoping that this group of players are just not strong enough mentally and that the next batch will be both talented and strong willed. I mean, it was the young players that kept us in this game before the seniors blew it. But, I don't know, I'm not sure if I have following the basketball...

Lunardi has us as a 4 before this loss. I don't think this loss is a killer RPI wise. Even a Michigan loss on the road isn't a huge deal. One in the big 10 tournament would be bad, to a bad team. We got punished for collapsing two years ago so that will probably cost us a seed (even though they...

The last 4 minutes of the game our experienced players automatically become terrified. It's really weird.

Fire Iowa basketball. There has to be another form of wrestling that we can replace it with so we can be awesome. I can really only think of about 2 moments of joy I've felt from watching Iowa basketball in my life. It's a stupid hobby and really not worth the effort. See you guys Saturday night!

Nothing good...Ever. Stop searching.

NOTHING GOOD EVER HAPPENS! STOP TRYING TO SEARCH FOR HAPPINESS BECAUSE IT EXISTS NO LONGER! EVERY MINUTE GOOD THING THAT HAPPENS IS JUST TO GIVE YOU A SLIVER OF HOPE SO IT CAN THEN BE TAKEN AWAY! In short, I really hate sports and need to quit this hobby. Also, at this moment I really hate...

I'm on the irrational psycho bandwagon now. Two late season collapses in two years will do that. Rehire Lick so I don't care about basketball once we hit January. It's sooooo much easier to take this this crap.

What's the role of the fat, middle aged guy who yells at college basketball players in all this?

Some of those fouls could have led to baskets.

This is a game that prepares you for the tournament. There's a lot of intensity out there. On the flip side, Iowa never seems to win these high intensity close games so....gulp.

Well, Wisconsin is physical and Peter Jok is good. I think the defense has been better but damn Wisconsin is hitting some shots. Bad turnovers aren't helping either. I feel like we can win if we fix some things but I fear them wearing us down.
