*** OFFICIAL*** Iowa v Illinois Game Thread

Iowa has just played its way out of the tournament. Incredible.

My patience with Fran is at an end. He did some good things in his first three years but this year has been a disaster. Time for him to go.

Iowa is a LOCK.. Fact is they have fallen from a 6 seed to now a 8,9 or 10 seed..
 
Beginning to think Fran isn't such a good coach in close games. Hate to think that but.....
 
Season collapses because they figure out ways to lose....

Earth to Fran, Can you coach a game in the last 60 seconds???
 
smart, tough not two words id use to characterize this team..

Some of our more talented players are soft and turn into deer in headlights at the most important moments.
 
We go from a top-10 team to not even getting a bye on the first day of the B10 tournament. This team got full of themselves and thought they were better than they are. Plain and simple.
 
This team has not played its way out of the tournament. They continue to lower their seed; unless they lose by 40 in the first round of the BTT they are going to the NCAA tournament. The only reason them playing like this is so bad is that it is the end of the season, had this happened earlier in the year, nothing would be said.

There is no leadership on this team, everyone looks lost. I don't understand half of the shots they take, or even why they bother to shoot a 3-point shot right now. Jarryd Cole, Matt Gatens and Eric May were the model Seniors, none of the guys have stepped up into that role this year and I don't see anyone taking on that role next season either.
 
Buttclones win a game where the other team only had to foul to win and Hawks give one away. Black Saturday.
