Seemed like they exchanged some words.
Fran was still yelling at the officials after the game , right before shaking pike’s hand.

Handshake Pike~Fran
- Thread starter Plum Street
- Start date
I don't think so. I think Pike was complimentary.
Pike went out of his way to be nice. There was nothing there.
It looked to me like Pike was making nice and being complimentary, and Fran just wanted to keep walking.
Shouldn’t they start throwing haymakers at that point and be justified??
Fran is obnoxious and his players learn from him
Pike was probably thanking him for the Quad 1 loss, the final piece of the tournament resume so many fans were longing for all week
I'll give
Fran credit today in his presser-- praised Ru and said ots a dumb question a no Brainerd RU deserves to be in tourney

Look how Boeheim and MCafferreys son's act. Entitled jerks.
LOL....Had to read this a few times to decipher it but totally agree that it was nice of Fran to say that....
He was upset at Mulcahy diving at Murray's legs for a loose ball w 4 seconds left in the game.
So is his spawn… he’s not as good as his act implies. 2T’s instigating and mouthing off … yep Daddy’s boy.
That's understandable actually but nothing happened thankfully

I have no problem with Fran. Not sure why, but he evokes strong negative reactions from opposing fan bases going back to his MAAC days. I am friends with a Rider guy who hates him. It’s probably because he wins all the time and advocates for his team.
He’s smug and shoots straight. Where Pike comes off as a caring, heartfelt guy, Fran’s demeanor makes him seem like a prick. Not saying that he is, it’s just the vibe he gives off that rubs anyone that is not his fanbase the wrong way
Really would like RU to see them again, in the NCAA tourney, maybe without a biased couple of refs.
You’d get rolled again. Iowa is a better team. We won and it had nothing do with the officials.
Handshake line wasn't a Michigan style one and [Pike did make sure Fran listened to what he had to say.
Fran took it as it was meant, in the name of two competitors showing their sportsmanship
Fran also had nice things to say about Rutgers in his post game interview .
That should show everyone that Fran might not be that bad of a guy , but the competitor he is sometimes makes him seem different .

IMO, I d rather have a coach that has "some" fire and stands up for his players. I couldn't imagine playing for a coach that doesn't have my back. He's a nice guy, but maybe too nice.
Rolled? Is that what you call it?
You took a wrong turn champ. You’re on the wrong board.
Bye.
the officials seemed a little soft on your Hawkeyes and hard on the Scarlet Knights.
Rutgers strength coach couldn't take it and got Ted up.
I'll give Iowas credit for the win, RU's strength coach lost his cool and RU played till the end
Congrats on the win, good luck in the next game and don't get so uptight when it's pointed out how the refs didn't officiate perfectly .
Iowa came into the game the favorite and left the winner, that can't be disputed, but how the game is officiated is subject to interpretation
I'll look at it as Iowa earned the 6.5 spread and the officials gave them 3.5

Cohawk why don’t you come to the RAC & say hi next game? I’m sure it will go very
well for you! Your team is very soft by the way & only won today because the refs literally cheated for Iowa. It’s an embarrassment to the Big10

Refs influenced the game more than they should have. Weak effort by the refs. They would admit as much.
I like how he says “we won…” like he was out there making buckets
I saw and could understand that. A bit much effort from PM at that stage. But always injury risk taken when leaving players in the game. He saw we were playing to the final whistle, maybe Murray should have been out.
Going to see more of that as long as these stupid metrics are in play versus common sense.
It was Kris Murray Mulcahy dove at, who is a bench player. Mulcahy also tried to trip him in the first half.
I don’t like Iowa and Indiana the most in B1G BB.
Penn State not so much…they just play hard against us in BB.
I want so much to beat both of them in quarters and semis…would have been a nice statement.
