So Frustrating. Minny had no business winning this game. This one is on Fran for putting Marble back in the game.
No question the most RIDICULOUS loss of the season.

This loss doesnt sting anymore than the Purdue loss, the Indiana loss, or the MSU loss.. all games Iowa should have won. Face it. one more season in the Not Important Tournament(NIT) and maybe they will win these games next year.
I agree with the first part and if this turf toe is still lingering, then it's best to sit him until he can be effective again.

Maybe if Fran would have yelled and kicked some more, the players would be moar focused.

I was under the impression that Marble was still hurt, but neither he nor marble indicate that his injury is still an issue...IF that is the case then how do you blame Fran for putting the individual that is supposed to be one of the team's leaders back in the game at a critical time of the game?
Marble made the bad pass, but that is only one play of many that truly cost us the game...look at the missed free throws, defensive breakdowns, and the list goes on...tough loss but a team loss...nothing more, nothing less!

People are blaming Fran for putting him back in because he was playing like crap. It doesn't matter why he was, just that he was. Also, Marble had been sitting quite awhile, sticking him back in at that time was a real head scratcher. I agree there were alot of other problems that contributed to the loss but the Marble thing was something Fran could control.
I like Fran as much as the next guy but he's not above criticism.

So shooting 10-17 free throws had nothing to do with it? Slowing the game down in the second half had nothing to do with it? Poor shooting from the field (which we have had all season) had nothing to do with it? A top 25 team on their home floor had nothing to do with it? OK.......
