Creighton is a good team and everything is just going wrong for the Hawks today. Fran has the program on the right track...fans need to be patient...there are going to be ups and downs.
 
Teams who hover around .500 have games like this and that's what we are though there is nothing fun about getting blasted by a mid-major team though they do look pretty good.
 
With all due respect, how can you look at this game and say "It's just one of those days", and "We're on the right track". The same fundamental flaws we had last year are manifesting themselves this year, and we're getting blown out by a mid major.
 
Fran must be ****** at Cartwright and Basabe. They haven't been on the court in the last 12+ minutes of this disaster.

Cartwright is sick, so I doubt he is ****** at him. Basabe on the other hand, has another game where he looks like he could care less about being there. THAT is concerning.

Maybe the same way you defend Kirk Ferentz despite suffering losses to teams like Minnesota and failing to fix the fundamental flaws in the football team.

With all due respect Ghost, after watching basketball for 50 years, teams do have "one of those days", where the other team throws up off balanced shots that go in, loose balls fall their way, etc. and the other team(the Hawks) can't buy a basket. It happens, it will happen, to even the best of teams.
Let's not all jump off the bandwagon just yet.
This is a mid major yes, but I recall mid majors (UNI) beating Kansas on a much larger stage lately. It's early... relax.

I have never once made a single excuse for Kirk Ferentz. However, the excuses seem to be in high supply here. If this was "one of those days" then conference play is going to be "a bunch of those days".
 
I don't understand why fans need to jump off a bridge after a loss and get stupid amped by beating three of the worst teams in D1... Creighton is a really good team, and Iowa will bounce back and be ok this season.

Really? You are one of the biggest Ferentz apple polishers on this site.

Many on this board said the same thing about Lick.

Agreed. One of those days is lame.

Today exposed a lot of weaknesses that the Hawks have. No inside presence, horrible shooting, and too many mental lapses in defenses.

I'd like to hope that Fran can get those mistakes corrected.

The only positive I can think of is that the reason Creighton won by so much wasn't because of points off of turnovers (Iowa only had 8), so I mean, that's a good thing, right? At least they weren't air-mailing too many passes or something.

Or not...

Creighton is a decent team that Iowa helped to make them look like they are great...but face it Iowa not very good at all and will not be ok unless they get to keep play the worst BB teams in Division 1. Cause that is only way they win anything....going to be a long year again for them.
 
I would say we are all MAD again!

Way to come out with your shorts around your ankles Hawks. This was an old fashioned "lick era" *** whoopin!

Here is a list of all of my posts

Find one where I make an excuse for the football coaches.


That is not my point though. My fear is that all of the people who are expecting us to compete for a post season tournament will be the same idiots who crap on the BB coaches when their stupid expectations are not met. We are going to face more opponents like Creighton than NC A&T, and we are going to have more days like this.
