Wrestling match with Clones vs. Silo Tech. There are 5 fouls both ways every possession.
-
Oklahoma Texas overtime.
Sherfield hit a 3 to tie it
-
There’s a fantastic woman hoopster at Iowa named Caitlin Clark and through 8 BIG road games for Iowa those teams have averaged 4006 more fans for the games when Iowa and Caitlin come to town. That’s pretty remarkable!
-
Newsflash! Fran throws a frantrum and gets tossed. That guy is an embarrassment to Iowa, the BIG, the NCAA, the US of A, and to the entire world.
-
@wissox feel bad for his boys. Did the one come back? Man, tough!
-
@Crimsonorblue22 Yes, Patrick is back playing and then got T-d up about 5 minutes after they’d run Fran!
-
@wissox after his dad got tossed?
-
@Crimsonorblue22 Yes indeed.
-
Shoulda said when Patrick was shooting FT’s after his dad got ejected the students were chanting, “Where’s your daddy?”. Classic college fans being college fans!
-
@wissox ewwww, rough!
-
@wissox does the conference ever punish Fran?
-
@Crimsonorblue22 Not sure he needs more punishment other than the ejections. He didn’t do anything suspendable. Of course half of the fans find it wildly amusing!
-
@wissox might lose his job or family.
-
Is this normal for him? Seems like he’s had a lot of these this year. I rarely pay attention to Iowa anyway, but man how can they put up with it?
Checks mental notes on Iowa. Correct me if I missed anything on Iowa.
Fran throws tantrums and gets kicked out of games.
Iowa can score but couldn’t defend me and you.
Iowa loses games they should win.
Another Murray leads them in scoring.
Pick them to lose early in the Tournament (they are good for it)
-
@BeddieKU23 We Badger fans developed the term Frantrum sometime in the last 10 years, so he’s been doing it a while. At least a sizeable minority defend him because off the court he’s apparently a really good guy. He raises a lot of money for local charities. It’s a little incongruous. I want my coaches to be good guys too, but I want my coaches to win more. It’d drive me nuts.
As you pointed out he can’t coach defense well. That’d drive me nuts too.
Thanks for the research on come backs and blown games. I’d commented on drgnslayrs post about us not giving up big leads. Turns out you did some research on that one too.
@Crimsonorblue22 I’ve not heard rumors of losing jobs or families. When his son took a leave for anxiety twitter enemies of Iowa blamed his dad. I pushed back on that one.
-
@wissox Correct me if I’m wrong as I know next to nothing of the situation, but the story was his dad caused the anxiety. That’s the internet story at the time. And it’s just speculation without a thing to back it up - also I don’t give a rip so I never looked into it.
-
@dylans Interesting, never heard that.
-
@wissox Take it for want it’s worth. Internet rumor.
-
Octagon of room tonight, very empty.
-
We broke Baylor.
They are hardly even running offense right now. Drew just asking his guys to jack up shots.
-
Baylor just looks like crap - -their offense is just one on one - -dribble - - dribble - - dribble - -shoot -that kind of ball is not hard to defend

I don’t get it. Guy is just literally asking his talent to save him.

The bigger problem is their defense I think. 2nd in offensive efficiency but 87th in defensive efficiency per KenPom. That’s the worst in the B12 by a ways (the next worst is West Virginia at 54th).
Baylor this season is what it would look like if Gonzaga joined the B12 in basketball.
-
@KirkIsMyHinrich not the issue tonight.
They can’t score tonight

I mean, K-State is shooting 48% from the floor and has only turned the ball over 7 times, so it kind of is.
-
@KirkIsMyHinrich if you watched the game I don’t know how you come away thinking Baylors D is what lost them the game tonight.
Could have been better. Sure. But they didn’t look like the best offense in the country tonight.

I did watch the game and I saw K-State score on just about every possession in the last 8 minutes of the game. I’m not saying their offense was great either, but their defense has been a problem all season and was tonight as well.
-
Texas not having any problems with Iowa State–Texas up by 12 in the 1st half late
-
Iowa state ain’t beating the short horns for us.
-
Tonights OU-TTU tilt is the last scheduled Big 12 game of the season that doesn’t feature at least one ranked team. March 4 is the last day of scheduled games. The Big 12 is tough.
-
#1 rated Houston gets to play Tulane tonight, then East Carolina, Wichita and some other stiff. They did beat 2nd ranked Virginia a long time ago, the same Virginia getting blown out by BC tonight. If we played their schedule we might actually be undefeated.
#2 Alabama gets a stiff test from USCarolina tonight. (sarcasm font) SEC teams get easy games after easy games. Bama to their credit scheduled non-conf strongly so their schedule is top 10, but nowhere near our #1 schedule.
Meanwhile we’ve played 9 games against teams with numbers next to their names since the beginning of January. So has every other B12 team.

UNC is so bad. It’s almost funny at this point

I was just going to say, it’s a good thing you’re also a Jayhawks fan this season. Apparently Brady Manek was really good.
-
@KirkIsMyHinrich yeah, KU will always be my team.
I hope the powers that be come around to last year’s run being a fluke.
-
@FarmerJayhawk So you went to UNC correct? Are you originally from Kansas?
-
@kjayhawks bachelor’s and master’s KU, PhD from UNC. Yep, from Lebanon originally.
-
@FarmerJayhawk Dr Farmer, not to many of those!
-
23 offensive rebounds for UNC saving the day
-
Iowa goes 3-27 against Badgers and only scores 52 points. Fran spent a timeout with his team down 10 and 4 minutes left arguing with the refs instead of coaching his team.
-
Alabama’s Miller goes off for 41 tonight. 52% of their points, 40% of their shots. Guess he wanted to let off some steam.
-
@kjayhawks Good ole’ Lebanon, KS. Went to kindergarten and 1st grade there.
-
@COHawk crazy!
-
Hate to say what years those were!

Winning a close one against ND should work against them. It was like watching high school ball.
Yes… Baylor D is pretty bad, even with Everyday Jon back in the lineup. Those guards many are claiming to be the best in D1 give up way too easy on D. I think I prefer our guards moving forward into March. Let’s see what happens!
-
Yeah that trio doesn’t defend a lick, especially the freshman phenom supposedly going in the Lottery before Dick. We all know Gradey will have to improve defensively but he makes up for a lot of things with effort and winning plays. All those tip outs for boards and transition plays are a nuance to his game that isn’t brought up.

Well seeing that would cause one to defend Tech a little bit. I mean that list there and their projected seeds in the tourney and yet Tech ha more quad 1 wins then any of those listed. Sure they have had some bad Non Con losses but put the teams that’s listed there and their projected seeds & put them into the toughest Conference in the Nation- - what would their records be?
Now I’m not really saying Tech should be in BUT for argument sake they deserve to be in there just as much as these teams listed do. - -just asking but where does Tech Stand in the Ken Pom compared to these othre teams ? - I think they and their fans would have a complaint just looking at this
-
This is a classic definition of a flop. Flop tech was awarded on this. This dude was trying so hard to draw a charge call he forgot that if he falls down the shooter will be wiiiiiiidddddddeeeeee open! https://twitter.com/BenScottStevens/status/1628597166825414656?s=20
-
With Gradey coming on like he is, I am seeing potential as a lottery pick now… I just hope he doesn’t go and values his experience in Lawrence enough to stay.
Does he necessarily make more money by leaving early? I know it means another year at NBA pay and I’m sure he won’t go unless he’s sure of a guaranteed contract.
As fast as he is improving… he could be a for sure Top 5 pick next year. So he’s a year later but his $$$ starts much higher.
-
Remembrance of our very special Marcus Smart… who pulled this but could push off backward a lot harder without contact!
