Uthoff sucks bro, he can't even dribble without falling over..."So uthoff shoots 50% from field, 39% from 3, 80% FTs, 7 pts, 5 rebs a game, 1.1 blocks/ game 1-1 A/TO (so he's not turning it over more than any other insid guy...But fran benches him for entire 2nd half!!!Give the guy minutes and he produces at very high offensive and defensive effciencys...only Frans bizarre subbing patterns will result in a any player Like Uthoff produces in a America not getting onto the game in 2nd half...and to get beaten out by Jok and his miserable defense metrics in puzzling...

What are his B10 stats? Who gives a **** if he's good against crappy teams. Do you watch the games? He hasn't done anything to deserve playing time in the B10.

They are in. But seed is rising, not the good way.

This team is probably better off being a high seed to be honest. I do think they'll be better off in the tournament though w/ teams not being able to prepare for the depth and way Iowa plays.

I seriously thought when the whistle blew as MG was on the ballhandler, that he had gotten a 5 second call. I think that's what he was trying to do. I certainly dont like to think that our PG thought he had to foul in that situation.

He didn't think he had to foul, imo he played fantastic defense, and got called for a phantom foul. Then white was an inch away from a steal, recovered, put a hand in the shooters face, then they guy hit a fade away 25 footer.

Hawks didn't play good defense throughout the game, IND shot well. The last play, well, dang.
 
The media hype might have damaged us with unrealistic expectations, and we couldn't handle the hype.....

I would describe my feelings right now as joyless.....

Time to watch House of Cards for a few laughs....

At least we have the LadyHawks playing for the BTT Championship.....

That's all I have.....

Good Evening, Lads.....

Excellent perspective. Its been a tough stretch. Joyless is how I feel as well. Hope the fellas can find a way this week.

I can maybe agree on the Gessell end... white however got beaten 2-3 times by Ekey on 3's

with 2 secs left you don't go for a steal and lose your man.

White is a very lazy defensive player - he gambles for the steal then plays soft soft soft.

Why dont you Check McCabe, jokes, and Clemmons big ten stats and make the same arguement.

So you don't want to post his B10 stats? Not surprised, they aren't good. And learn to use the quote button *******.
 
13 offensive rebounds given up to a terrible offensive rebounding team is where this game was lost. IA #6 IL #224.

Playing marble Marble extended minutes in the 3 spot is a mistake.

Oly/woody only get 36 MN, Basabe only 14, and Uthoff only 8. Iowa used to lead the conference in rebounding margin and offensive boards. That was a winning advantage. Now, with Jok, ac, oglesby, AND marble at the #3 spot, they combine for 2 rebounds in 66 mins and Iowa is Crushed on the boards including 13 offensive boards.

C'mon Fran. Playing Marble at the 3 is a huge misplay of IOWAs competitive advantage. Rebounding. Marble should get 28 mins in #2 and 6 spelling Gesell at #1. Oglesby should get the 12 in spelling marble @#2. Whitey, uthoff and Mel get the minutes rebounding and blocking shots at the #3-4. Iowa will win the rebounding and FT game then.

But playing, Jok, mcacbe, ac, so many minutes and in these bizarre player combinations is just finding another way for Iowa to lose.....
