Honest Opinion

[BlacknGold19]

We are all frustrated with the losses to teams we all feel we should beat. But the 3 losses we have, 2 of them came on the hands of poor officiating and a mad Fran due to the fact and they were road games. We are tough at home. Referees won't be this bad in the NCAA Tourney. Florida is good..they lost at the Kohl Center too. There's no need to fall off the wagon.

We are a good team that will make the Tourney. We will be a tough team to beat in a game not dictated by bad calls.

I'd say the double techs were called for, and that cost us the game. Can't blame the officials for those calls.

 

[BlacknGold19]

The reason they were called was due to the fact of the terrible calls..hmm

 

[clicheusername3]

Honestly at a certain point you just have to admit that we foul a lot.

 

[hwks1]

This is a good team. We need some Guard help

 

[1hawkeye1]

This is a good team. We need some FT and layup help.

 

[BlacknGold19]

It's just frustrating because we are so close to huge wins every game and seem to always lose. Its a sickening feeling really

 

[damnfinn]

we are a good team with lots of room for improvement, if we can just get our sh^t together we could be scary good.

I dont even know what a foul is in college ball anymore. It changes every game.

I do know that adam woodbury gets called for fouls that just simlpy arent there.

I agree. I love Fran, and think the guy's done a great job, but this pretty much sums it up for me as a fan the past year and a half:

Where do you guys come up with this "we are a good team" stuff? We choke down the stretch in any close game and have no 3 point shooters. Have you seen any of the other big ten teams play? Other than Marble and White, I am not sure if there is anyone else on the team with a set.

I almost want to quit my job for a few years and devote my time to becoming a NCAA Basketball Referee so I can find out what really goes on behind the scenes. God knows

Let me ask if you've seen any of the other Big Ten teams. The Iowa team that showed up in the first half tonight would run up the score on 7 or 8 teams in this conference, anywhere on any court.

We aren't a bad team Ted, We arent a GREAT team either..but if you think we aren't a GOOD team I'm surprised you didn't commit suicide during the Lickliter years

Given that the opponent was against Wisconsin at home, this times 1000+.

People are making too much about officials during Iowa losses. Each and every game has questionable calls both ways. Coaches and players need to be able to adjust to different crews accordingly.

 

[ThunderHawk]

This is a good team. We need some FT and layup help.

If we need that kind of help then we are not a good team against tourney level competition.

Zip it and go watch the same game Fran and the rest of Iowa just did

I feel the same way.
