So ******* tired of watching our men's programs lose. So tired of it. This was a sure win. Dumbass Howard.

This is the coach everyone is gushing over?? Good grief that was terrible basketball again. Just poorly coached all around.
I don't think this was coaching at all. He's screaming on the sideline for the team to foul, in a building that had less attendance than the covid season, and no one is listening. This loss is on the players. (I'm not a coach apologist but the team looked like they didn't give a sh*t all game. No fire for anything)

The team doesn’t have the talent this year. It is what it is. They can beat anybody if the stars align, they can lose to anybody if they don’t. The people complaining about McCollum already need to get a grip. The coaching is there, but he’s gonna need time to get the right players in place.

His portal eval ability looks suspect.

As long as we play a game in the tournament, that's all that matters. Proves the loser Clown fans wrong and at least we take a step forward from last year. Don't even care if we win at that point.

You miss game over. When you are down take the best shot where ever the clock is
With that thinking, why wasn't a shot attempt drawn up for the hot hand - IE, Coop in a corner?


In the end, doesn't matter. Hawks absolutely deserved this horrible loss.

The offense in the last 5 minutes was pathetic. Passing it 30 ft out not even looking at hoop until up against clock. If I wasn't staring straight at a scoreboard would of thought we were up 20.

The usual suspects laughing at any rational take and instead wanting to throw their temper tantrums. Can’t really expect anything else from a game thread

Throwing the ball in to a guy 75 feet from the basket, with 1.5 seconds left, is stupid.
Braindead stuff. Just chuck it towards the hoop and maybe you get lucky. Losing was upsetting enough and then they topped it off with doing the dumbest thing possible. A few room temp IQ moments from the guys closing this out.

And what, 1 actual good win in the most boring game ever against Nebraska?

What is it about Iowa basketball and their ability to make me a believer only to turn around and crush those beliefs. I’m about done with Iowa men’s basketball. When do the women play?
