Same old stuff

So so tell me what did Iowa do to get Uthoff or Jok involed for that matter late in games loess?? I'm watching the game just fine, I don't need any help. he does nothing I counted 8 times he passed up open 3's, he drove numerous times and could not finish, passed the ball to Mike 4 times late in shot clock why? Watch the top players they demand the ball, Valentine a is a perfect example.

Gessell still got to dish the ball that is if he wants!! Gessell is the guy getting those players involved and I see lots and lots of top of the key dribbling and plenty of missed assist opportunities. what do you expect without Mike we had no offense

im not saying Uthoff is completely off the hook but man The Fran system in close games has never been impressive and still isn't.

These chumps don't win another game this season.

Book it.

Are you saying 0-3 last regular season games, 0-1 BTT and 0-1 NCAA?

Uthoff and Jok passed up on perimeter shots that they have taken earlier in the conference season. They've done that for the past few games. Both of them doing that says it might be coaching to get other guys involved. Just guessing. Uthoff hasn't look sharp and has looked slow running the floor. And he's getting pushed around more on the defensive end. Dude just looks gassed at times.

Gesell had his once in every 10 good-to-great game. Let's not sing his praises too much here; it was a loss. It'd be nice if he showed this offensive ability when Uthoff and Jok are on their game, too. But maybe that's the reason.

The team defense/switches is still too often in shambles. Jok seems to be gambling more and seems a step slower.


I still think it's possible that when this team gets out of BigTen play and into March Madness that they will make it to the second weekend. Getting away from big ten opponents should be beneficial.

First time I've said it all season, but the officiating was bad this game. Make a point to watch Jok and Uthoff move without the ball; those guys are getting mugged. Maybe that's causing them to be tentative when getting some open looks. I don't know.

No since in calling them names or calling any of them out,there best just isn't good enough.Most teams are playing there best ball at the end of the season,this team isn't and that's on the coaches.Ok sorry I called out the coaches.

Don't be sorry. They are rewarded handsomely and they aren't getting it done. The buck stops with Fran and he needs to own it.

Fran would be OK to play for if you are winning but I have a feeling his intensity might really wear a guy out when things start going south.
