Even with a shorter bench....

We clearly watched different games. It’s been an ongoing troubling pattern under Fran. If Garza is a starter which he is a starter don’t sit for 8 damn minutes in the 2nd half of a BIG GAME!! That’s the stupid shit we constantly see. When Wisconsin got close which was within 3 minutes of taking Garza and JBO out you immediately get them back into the mix. They are starters for a reason!!!! Garza and Cook on the court at the same were a handle full and Wisconsin was having trouble dealing With them.. There isn’t any wonder why Iowa record in close games is so shitty under Fran it’s because of crap like we saw tonight. Yet another loss on Fran IMO..

I was literally screaming to put Garza back in the game as he sat Way too much. When Garza posted up and Iowa played inside out he either scored or kicked the ball out for a good shot. He had several good passes to Cook as well. He only got in foul trouble because he is repeatedly asked to jump out to hedge at the top of the key he then has to run back 20 feet to protect the basket. Why does Fran do this??? LEAVE our 7 footer protecting the basket and not picking up stupid fouls chasing a guard around!!
