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

It's like they thought they had already done their work and could cruise. Just f'n pathetic to watch.
 
Its tough to watch losses this year, just so many Heartbreakers.

Its tough to read game threads too...

Dang rough finish to the season.

Welp, get ready for PSU and let's hope for a resurgence. Ugh.

Iowa is a LOCK.. Fact is they have fallen from a 6 seed to now a 8,9 or 10 seed..

They aren't a lock. What makes them a lock? What's their record in the last 10 of the regular season? What's their record against the Top 25? How many signature wins do they have? What's their conference win %? They aren't a lock. At this point they ain't even 50/50.

The 11 man willy-niily substitution strategy....
Considering Jok played well your comment is worthless


So 2 F, 1 TO, 0 Reb, 3 pts, 2 asst, burnt on back door for layup, put of position for full court lay up. Perimeter minutes with superfluous stats and no defense...

NIT for Iowa. What a joke of a season. So ******* ****** right now.

I certainly hope not. Not sure they could get 5,000 fans to show up with that level of a flame out. Was really enjoying this season until the damn ceiling incident. A sign of the times, unfortunately.

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.

Well.... hold on. Our current seniors DO have some cancerous attitudes, so hopefully White can use some of that Gatens mentoring to lead us next year....

Uthoff sucks bro, he can't even dribble without falling over.

This is a joke. You don't jump from a 6 seed to NIT in a week.

Shades of George Raveling. Decent recruiter, terrible bench coach.

White Magic my ***.

He has yet to recruit like Raveling, so don't put the cart before the horse and I think he is a far better bench coach than George ever was.

There are issues with this team that it appears Fran doesn't have the answers, it happens sometimes folks. There are teams that defy logic and there is little explanation that make sense for what happened.

From a coaches perspective on this who has had teams that you can't figure out. There are times it is simply a players issue that you will never solve until they move on. I am not pointing fingers because it could be anything at this point, but I do believe this team is very fragile in the head and has very little upstairs to move forward. Also, that whole ranking inside the Top 10 was one of the worst thing that could happen to a mentally unfit team.
