The Official Iowa vs I tawt I taw a Putty Tat Game Thread

[tksirius]

Iowa loses this game will essentially eliminate any goodwill Fran had built up. Proving why fans are hesitant to get their hopes up on this program. 1 step forward, 2 steps back.

That's not fair. It's more like 1 step forward, 1 step back.

Wave defense is activated.

Disappearing JB game for now.

What does Dailey bring to this team?

Schooled.

 

[trj]

We are lucky to only be behind by 6 points

Not an insurmountable amount

I wouldn't want to be in the same arena with

Fran in the halftime locker room

Damn

probably going ape shit right now

 

[Bigtenchamp]

That stellar defense has returned.. tho some of it is northwestern getting lucky.

It’s fair. If Fran could win anything in March, fans would have at least a little faith he could see a season through.

 

[Stanzi]

The good thing it’s going to be hard for Northwestern to match that half and we are still sleeping especially in the post position.

Law isn't a good shooter and is shooting like Steph Curry. If we actually play defense in the second half we can hopefully shut him down and win this game. We are easily the better team in general so we need to play like it. I don't know why we can't play good defense several games in a row.

Did V Law sell his soul before the opening tip-off?

Perhaps Paddy Fitz motivated him, as well as the rest if the team.

105th in total defense is hot garbage. That’s caused by either or both a lack of effort or talent on the defensive side. It’s what killed us against MSU. We made every player look like guys who can create their own shot. We are seeing that this game also. Also our blocking out skills on the offensive boards is hot garbage.

Was there a special senior citizen special on tickets sales today? I’ve seen more noise at funerals.

If your shooting touch is off, Iowa is the Elixer you need.

no, it just shows this fan base is bipolar as F

Every year we gotta have one of these clunker games. We got lucky against Indiana leaving their shooters wide open, NW will make Iowa pay.

Boxing out is a pastime Iowa has not warmed up to.

 

[Northside Hawk]

Receipe for victory.

Rebound!

Stop Law!

Garza must be on the floor. If he fouls out he fouls out. He's in danger of this affecting him the rest of the season.

 

[thedukeofearl]

Being outrebounded 21-10

Not a formula for success

Garza has to get his mojo back

I might not be able to handle a loss to the pussykats at Carver

To beat Michigan and then Indiana on the road and then come home and lose to NW would be devastating. Also a very Fran thing to do

or the fan base looking for a reason to meltdown

 

[STILLBUSTER]

dailey beat twice in arow, take him ; out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

But that would take the script off track! WTF is this, coaching on the fly, according to game flow!? No ad lib!

 

[thedukeofearl]

Hope Fran is rippin' ass and throwing clipboards into the wall!

There is no doubt in my mind about that

One clunker isn't going to totally derail us.

But it will be a long week. Rutgers will feel as far away as April.

Why blame the fans. Iowa fans have every reason to be pessimistic.
