Did Brady even attempt a shot tonight.....

Nicholas not getting a lot of playing time.....

Moss not getting a lot of playing time.....

Jok and Bo ice cold.....

Not exactly a prescription for success on the road in the Big

TYLER

This game is not over.....

 

[EstronHawkKing]

this team looks tired and worn down. Maybe Fran needs to give them a few days off to rest and re-energize

The best way to cure an Iowa loss guys!

Myers Rum and Coke for me.....

I'm hearing from a couple different people there is a lot of truth to what you just said.

 

[EstronHawkKing]

well, that sucked!

 

[HawkeyeWalker]

4-21 from 3. Yeah

They can go 10-11 deep without much of a drop off. When starters played so many minutes at Minnesota the sub plan should've changed for this game.

Aww chuck , there will be no streaking today!

 

[thedukeofearl]

Not unexpected at all.....

Whether or not the game at Williams went 2 OTs, this one was going to be extremely difficult to win.....

Win the remainder at Carver and we have had a successful season

Win at least one in the Big Tourney and I will be quite pleased.....

Still looks like we are a lock for the NIT.....

Need to start getting Christian Williams back on the floor for more minutes again, if just for his defense. JB minus 17, CW plus 6 when they were on the court today. If JB doesn't get in foul trouble already down 6, the game may have been out of reach by halftime. He's earned it after today. Plus JB will be a bit fresher not having to play 29 minutes a game.

You know the team shot bad when they had a +13 turnover margin and still lost by 11.

Has more to do with practice.

Williams is probably twice as bad as the second worst player on the team right now. I pray he doesn't get more minutes. I'm not saying he won't get better, but not too many D1 players can hit the bottom of the rim on a wide open layup.

In the words of the great Al McCoy "when you live by the three you die by the three".

One of the dumbest sayings in all of sports. I assume people invented that saying in the beginning stages of the 3 point shot. Now a days it's one of the best shots in the game.

--------As announcer says, perhaps the best they have looked all season

ALWAYS against Iowa does a team suddenly find "it"....for almost 30 years now. Seriously folks....30 F'n years!

We'relike the cubs.

Quality comment by Dakich (sp) about how much basic defensive fundamentals need to be taught at this level because they either haven't had to play defense before or they got by on incredible athleticism

and the segue off of that... whether those are taught effectively or not... has everything to do with player development. Add in rebounding and you have a performance review for Fran and his staff.
