Birds vs Bears Basketball

[HawkIowa44]

Terrible start for the Hawks both offensively and defensively. Is it time for something different?

 

[HawkIowa44]

34-13. Are the Hawks playing Wooden’s UCLA squad?

 

[MILHAWKEYE]

After about 9 minutes how can you be down 22?

 

[MILHAWKEYE]

They must have Lew Alcindor!

 

[BeerZaux]

This is a fireable offense

 

[wwhawk]

116 for the BADgers
99 for USC
47 with 4 minutes left in the half for UCLA.

Looks like Frannie's stressing D will get them even "higher" than the current #315 in the NCAA.

 

[Southernhawk]

Leave Fran in L.A.!!!!!!

"Just not enough resistance from the Iowa defense tonight." - Color commentator (could be from any game, but from the UCLA game tonight.

 

[HawkIowa44]

Does Fran retire at halftime and book a flight to Butler to watch his boys?

One could only hope!

It looks like it’s time.

Has there ever been a worse half of basketball in the history of Iowa basketball? Honest question.

 

[Fryowa]

On pace to be 114-48 lol.

There was not one thing the Hawks were good at in the first half

 

[Southernhawk]

57-point first half for UCLA. I'm sick and tired of this NBA All-Star game level "defense". Defense is effort. Even when your shot isn't there, your defense should be. There's no excuse for shitty defense.

 

[justwinbaby]

This is pathetic. What’s worse is I still will most likely watch the whole thing.

 

[Southernhawk]

This is Fran's last year. I truly believe that. (Thankfully)

Probably, but not recently. It has to be the worst in the Fran era.

Misery loves company so I'll be with you.

We've seen enough evidence in stretches where this team can play defense. It's 100% effort. That missed free throw by them not a single player even moved to the ball. Looks like varsity blues after an all nighter at the strip club.
