Bad Loss!

[ForeverHawk]

Can't afford these at home. Gesell and Olaseni were the only two who came to play.

 

[Xerxes]

Yeah, this one hurt. This team just isn't ready for the bright lights. Oh well, gotta move on.

 

[HaydenHawk56]

BOOOOOOOO!!!!!! Pathetic!

Can't afford these at home. Gesell and Olaseni were the only two who came to play.

And one of those wasn't playing at the end. WTF Fran?

 

[tweeterhawk]

We REALLY, REALLY needed this one tonight. NCAA chances now up in doubt.

Sigh.... Just don't know what to say anymore. Iowa can NOT win big games. Period. They proved it last year, and are proving it again this year. I'm so disappointed. Yeah, go ahead and rip me a new one. I couldn't care less.

 

[ForeverHawk]

Hardly any Utoff or Basabe, but lots of McCabe? Yes and no Olaseni at the end?

 

[ForeverHawk]

Oh, and we stayed in the zone waaaay to much.

 

[glidinghawk]

Looks like an 11-7 finish in the conference.

I have no issue with this frustration. Its tough to keep losing like we have, especially at home. 60% from the line and 13% from three....you won't win too many.

The issue is not effort, lineups, toughness, etc. Its shooting...period.

At best.

Agree. Very strange, maddening and confusing all at the same time. Utterly pathetic effort by most of this team lately. To say this group as a whole is soft qualifies as a huge understatement.

No....it's all of these.

lol no they aren't.

I beg to differ on the effort and lineups. Those were pretty pathetic at times

 

[dwh5er]

Man oh man, I hope you all keep your knife drawers locked and use electric razors. I also hope you all live alone. I feel sorry for your families if you are like this after every Iowa loss.

I disagree. Yes the shooting sucks. But certain lineups are mind boggling and there is little toughness with this team. They are soft and I'm being nice using the word soft. Even the coach, after the MSU game, said Iowa lacked toughness. That is stating the obvious as we witnessed tonight.

Agreed on the shooting. When you see OSU knocking down open 3's, and our guys can't do the same, it's really not hard to figure out why Iowa lost. Fran has done a good job at turning things around, but IMO he really needs to recruit some shooters. Gotta be able to put the ball in the basket. 3 point shooting killed us against MSU, too.

I just felt that OSU wanted this game more, though.

Maybe, but mostly 60% from line, 13% from 3.

 

[BlacknGold19]

So is our win at OSU considered good again since they beat us and Wisky on the road? ****, at least we didn't lose to Northwestern
