Iowa vs Tennessee Tip is 11:10am Sunday

[SidFarkas]

It is tragic seeing how terrible he is after three years of Iowa's coaching. Sad. What do they have him working on hour after hour?

That’s why Iowa needs an Assistant enema - recruiting, development and fundamental D and Rebounding teaching.

Barkley says "Look at their bodies, Tennessee to big and strong."

White Magic baby!

 

[1hawkeye1]

Charles is right.

 

[smitharooney]

Well boys, I have a good excuse to not watch the second half. I am headed to Carver for the women's game. Later.

Not fair

 

[HawkPrdatr40]

Charles barkley is spot on he just said

why Did Iowa come out in a Man that’s a team that needs to be coming out in a Zone, hummm imagine that...



Hey Fran saying it all year WTF is your fascination with Iowa playing Man they are not a team that should ever been in a Man To Man unless you have to..

 

[Stanzi]

First half over, great chance for the comeback of a lifetime!

If Iowa comes back and wins this I will purchase two kegs at a DSM bar and you can all drink for free. I make this promise to all of you.

We don’t just need athletic guards
Need a linebacker type, leapers - scorers.

Iowa is emotionally weak on all levels, and doesn't have fundamental skills to fall back on, plus TN has athletes. Not a good recipe for success.

It's like Fran would rather be stubborn than smart

 

[pekurhawk]

I hope he punches someone so he can at least get a 3 game suspension. Even better, I hope calls someone King Kong.

Schofield has such a high release point on his shot. We got Pat McCaffery coming in with his shoot from the chest shot. We're blessed.

now, your suspended as well.

 

[Motigerhawk]

THERE IS A FAKE PUNT COMING KIRK!!!!!!!!

 

[ShockHawk22]

Nah, I think more skinny slow footed 6'7" wing players is the answer.

We lost one guy who can dribble a little bit (Baer) and replace him with a stretch 4 and a 4/5 hybrid who can’t score outside a layup. Not to mention Patrick is coming in and we see that Fran has to have his kids play. So we will be running 12 deep and one a few guards

Sigh x billion

 

[1hawkeye1]

I wish Iowa was competitive.

 

[DDThompson]

But he can dunk.

87% dunk goal accuracy—worst in the P6

 

[smitharooney]

It’s taken him 9 years to build this ? Lick in year 9 would kill Fran in year 9. Lick just started getting momentum in recruiting when we fired him . Not saying it wasn’t deserved . Just saying

 

[Robowe]

Physical game ... no foul on this one.

 

[NCHawker]

If any of you are surprised by this ... you need to pull your delusional head out of your delusional A--

 

[HaydenHawk56]

I beg someone in the Iowa media to ask Fran why play any significant man when you can't match up with other team......who am I kidding they won't ask it.

We not bringing in Joe Toussaint anymore?

 

[HuckFinn]

I don’t.

Most of this is within his control:

1) effort

2) work on a jump shot

3) effort

4) have a b-ball in your hands so it feels normal to catch and dribble

5a) practice dribbling
5b) in traffic

6) make 99% of your dunk attempts

7) effort

And, he has become a head case out there. No confidence, hesitant, awkward. But this is nothing new. It started during our losing streak. I still want him back next year with a better defined role. Shot blocker and rebounder. I think he is capable.
