Total Exasperation

[eyekwah]

If your a passionate fan and watched today's futility there is no better word than exasperation to describe your feelings. Just a comedy of errors from the coach on down. It isn't proper to single out players for dumb play, but CM deserves criticism and the coach even more for inserting him in for the final 10 seconds.
There are others that can be cited for dumb play as well. The dumb play is a reflection on the coaches. It is one thing to lose, but another thing to enable it with bad decisions through out the game. Sorry have to rant!

If you're an iowa fan, you aren't supposed to have things like the Northwestern comeback. Something like this had to happen to make up for it. You cant have things like a banked 3 at the buzzer. You have to get embarrassed by a shitty team wanting revenge to make up for it.

The BODY of work of this coach is a CORPSE.

What did we do to deserve the meltdowns in 2014 and 2016?

Nothing. That's Iowa basketball . We cant have nice things. We somehow had a couple nice things this year so we had to get them taken away.

Now that I agree with. We're cursed. Or something.

Barta is code for Voodoo doll. All the other teams have one and there kicking it, burning it , twisting it and it adversely affects our players.

Na. Fran doesn’t focus on discipline, defense, solid fundamentals and doesn’t recruit mentally tough kids. Down the stretch of the season it comes down to solid fundamentals and mental toughness. Iowa has neither because they have a HC who doesn’t believe in it. Not cursed, just unprepared for the final stretch.

Iowa was cursed before Fran got here.
