Iowa will. Maybe not as bad.
Iowa 72, Illinois 65 POSTGAME
Fran is a pos
Classless Hawkeyes. Love the effort, tough to win on the road.
He will learn. He needs to keep the ball higher, be more decisve (he doesn't need all the ball fakes), and understand where the double team comes from. He's going to be great with some conditioning and teaching.
At 5 minutes after Dres got that rebound and Frazier hit the 3, i though we were good to go.
I was thinking how would this team stack up against the 2004-2005 Illini??

Glad Chin stuck up for us. Thinking it’s gotta be in regards to that last dunk by Wieskamp, can’t stand that guy and the way he carries himself, nor Fran’s son for that matter with the same demeanor

Frustrating, but we fought hard. We WILL beat them in Champaign. We’re concerned with a Big Ten championship, and we need to protect first place.
On to Maryland!
On to Maryland!
He had 4 TO's and lazily missed the layup when we were still in it.
So Chin had words with Fran and Fran pouts and walks away?
I put this loss squarely on Giorgi. Can't make that stupid !!! lackadaisical pass at that point of the game. All we had to is hold on to the ball. At worst take a 2 point lead down the stretch. But no, he handed Iowa the tie. I wish Brad would have kept him out the rest of the game as punishment.
Chin and Gentry fired up at the end. I'm guessing either when Garza hits his final 3, was he talking to our bench? Or was it the run out dunk?

My guess is Chin said something about Fran's son Connor throwing that baseball pass that led to the dunk to put them up 10 when they could have run the clock out. I'm guessing something along the lines of, "Is that the sportsmanship you taught your son?" (Add colorful language as you see fit).
I'm just glad it was Chin and not one of our players that said/did something. Fran's trash for sending his players off and skipping handshakes though.

I’m sure Fran will have classy things to say postgame.
If you want to blame the stripes, you can, but up six when GB did that....that was what changed things. Let's be honest.....they played better in the last five minutes. These games have been going our way for a month.....today it didn't.

There was no fight.
Chin said something and Fran acted like a tool and stopped his team from shaking hands

We also need the coach (BU has changed for the better) to recognize a simple yet effective in bound play and not let them get it repeatedly. 2-3 layups?

I think his boy was mad that we played tight defense until the final whistle and started chirping.
We need "an Enforcer" to remind Mcaffrey of his poor judgment when he gets to Champaign March 8th.
