I get really ticked when I see the debacle against IU or complete collapses for an entire half but at the end of the day almost 100% what you would want to achieve is still in front of this team: Big Ten regular season championship 3rd place finish most conference wins in like forever Big Ten...

Yes of course why wouldn't it. Scott Dochterman has it as THEE greatest win ever under Fran! What's not to like about a HUGE win like that! Look despite my pessimism everything is still in front of this team a conference tourney championship, a deep run in the NCAA tournament, etc.! Good...

He will blow the double bye for the conference tournament and lose it to a mediocre Purdont team. Lost in his first round game of the conference tourney, or depending he might win one, then lose his 2nd round game of the NCAA tourney.....the movie has already been written.

Fran is petulant and non-repentive regarding his inability to coach any of his team's on defense. 2 Indiana losses, matador D against Gonzaga, his response to Wagner's performance is so mind numbingly child like I'm out on Fran 11 years of the same ol same ol. I give us 1% chance of winning...

I agree with you in paragraph 1. Why do people keep asking "Do people not remember how bad it was before...." Yes it was Fran has had 11 GD years to make it something! 11 years! That's hardly being impatient. 0 NCAA 2nd round tourney wins 0! He also had been terrible in the conference...

Speaking of NO help on the inside. K. Murray was playing Dickinson man to man...what a joke. There's no way in hell he can compete inside with Dickinson. Will the Ogendele kid really be a Big Ten player or is this just one of Fran's "I gotta find someone..."

This is what Fran has delivered in oh so many crucial games. At some point you have to play D for an entire game.....like against really quality opponents. We have spurts and flashes but that's about it.

100% agree if we are honest about Hawkeye teams under Fran I wonder what his record is in crucial games ie. NCAA tournament games first round games included (ok I'm giving Fran some slack here because it's a 1 and done but we know he's 0 fer in round 2), conference games that matter as far as...

I have not watched this team much this year. I think 3 games....the Cziano gal needs to make more point blank shots. The Clark girl....is there a better freshman in the country?

Always thought the Polashek hire was odd at OL unless there was some vision of getting him in when they did so they have a good transition plan in place. I think the guy was a pretty good recruiter. Those guys are tough to find. I'm concerned about recruiting versus finding a guy that can...

Sweet 16 or he has underachieved.

Even the limited action from CJ helped last night. I'm disheartened that he's NOT going to be healthy enough to play a full game the rest of the year.

YES! Some of JBo's TOs were just plain BAD. He has hit key 3's in the last 2 games but let's not kid ourselves he's shaky out there with pressure and no ability to beat someone with the dribble drive. He had 4 TO's and at least that many instances where guys just beat him and got the basket...

LOL that's funny. I'm not for ousting Fran either I DO think we need a critical assessment when his current contract is coming due and honestly ask is this where we want things to be and graduation rates, everything should be considered. Your comment regarding Lick while true in our case is...

2023 folks we've got Fabulous Fran at least until 2023! Oh look just in time to see Patrick graduate. Honestly love the way he fights for his players and I think he's a great Dad and Husband with a character compass pointed North. I have NO issues with Fran other than he's not moving the...

Nailed it! Here I'll prepare you for the inevitable troll. "Who do you think would want to come to Iowa to coach that is better than Fran...." Gee I don't know who wants to be mired in mediocrity with bad coaching decisions for a generation...?

He said it in PERFECT fan appreciation for complete and utter frustration he finally condensed everything perfectly. https://iowa.rivals.com/news/tuesdays-with-torbee-152

Agree especially when you have multiple airball PMc getting his minutes in. If nothing else play him for D...something sorely lacking most games.

I do agree with you Rob anything short of a second weekend appearance is a system wide failure (not for the kids per se because they do put it out there and try and achieve what's been coached into them). Where do you see us if we only win 1 maybe 2 more games this season? Still in the dance?

Ah yes the mystery of Fran McCaffrey's in game rotations...sitting Luka on the bench for 10 minutes and the late season swoon yet again...coaching baby pure and simple.
