Hawkeyes Have Landed: Official Cayman Islands Classic Thread

[STILLBUSTER]

Sounds like they need a lot more than just Baer. Perhaps a shred of defensive effort? Or a reality check that they're not nearly as good as they think.

Good advice for us fans, too!

Might as well prepare the psyche now. Hopefully the February nut-punch will be a little more tolerable.

You’d probably be more pissed watching...

except i'm also out $10.

Welp, didn't see that one coming. Very disappointing. Time to temper expectations, drastically.

Hopefully this is a wake up call that helps this team get their shiz together.

Did Garza get hurt? Don’t see much on box score from him.

Between being a guard or two short, Fran's inability to put together a formidable schedule, and starting a player who shouldn't be on a basketball scholarship, there's a lot of unnecessary factors stacked against us to make the tourney this year.

I take it the Hawks lost.

Who does Iowa play next in this thing?

Who does Iowa play next in this thing?

Loser of the SDSU/Wyoming game. Whooooopeeee!!!!

 

[tksirius]

Gameplan to beat Iowa is get physical with them and have quick guards that can shoot. It's that simple.

Is there anything in Iowa sports right now that doesn't blow?

 

[BGOLD]

Brian Ferentz did not have the offense prepared to start the first half

 

[FirstDownHawkeyes]

Iowa won’t win many games if they have 2 guards that EACH take more shots than ALL the 4/5s combined. That’s simply inexcusable against a team as small as ULL. ULL forced IA to play their game. Good job out of their coach.

I have solved the mystery of today's performance. They thought that this was the opening game of the Big Ten Tournament!!

nope

 

[PCHawk]

This title is fake news! Seriously, when do the Hawks land?

 

[DJL]

I know some might crucify me for this, but at what point do we call Fran a mediocre coach? I mean he gets credit for bringing the program back from the dead but have we peaked under Fran?
