Did Fran's T's cost us the game?

[wuppup]

Would have been nice to have those 4 points. Comes with the territory I guess. I'll take Fran's anger with the results so far.

 

[Herkyalert]

Missed layups and poor free throw shooting did.

 

[biasedHAWKEYE]

Game started to get called even afterward, so who knows.

Captain Hindsight with a little help from the scoreboard says yes.

Barta needs to stand up for him this time. Wish I had the skill / time to setup a petition to let Barta know we are taking note how he handles this. Going along with a convenient aberration in enforcing the rule changes this year - that the officials are supposed to be held to - is unacceptable job performance by Barta.

We make fun of Pelini for the same bull ****

Don't count on it. He'll cave to Delany.

What Fran did was embarrassing. He acted like a spoiled 5 year old. The foul call wasn't even a bad call. If you don't like the way the calls are going, work the refs, don't just be a d0uche bag and hurt your team when you know it's gonna be a close game.

Except Fran doesn't say "f*ck the fans" or dare the university to fire him.

 

[BoiseDB]

Fran obviously has a Bo Pelini problem and his team paid for it tonight.

 

[ssckelley]

No question, I am a huge Fran supporter but that was dumb.

 

[wuppup]

Can't bump the refs, never acceptable

Hopefully you did not watch the game. Wisky outscored Iowa 30-12 from the 3 point line tonight. Failure to contest the 3 point shot against the best shooting 3 point team in the conference is the biggest reason for this loss.

 

[Herkyalert]

This in on the kids. They could have responded and didn't. They missed layups, free throws, and didn't guard the three. The technicals were not good, but there was plenty of time left and the kids just ****** down their leg.

 

[MeatMan]

He did cost us. You can send a message without losing your mind. Ashamed of him.

 

[HaydenHawk56]

Well Iowa lost by 4. Fran went overboard and it did not help his team.

 

[bcl20]

Yes. The refs allowed more physical play then I would have liked but you can't give a team 5 free throws when you're winning.

 

[theantiAIRBHG]

Short answer. Yes.

 

[hawkforlife9]

That ones on Fran. Those 5 points were key. Fran gave WI the momentum back. IDIOT.

 

[Xerxes]

I don't think the Ts cost Iowa the game. I'd give that to missed FTs and layups and the fact that Wisconsin has clutch players and Iowa doesn't.

I like Fran and he's easy to root for but I really hope that Fran is suspended for the Northwestern game. He deserves it.
