His shot had gotten worse. After he had that game where he hit 2 really deep 3s with awful form, he doesn’t ever set his feet anymore and looks like a junior higher cranking it up.

His last five games before last night he was 22-35 from 3 point range. That's pretty good I would think. He was awful last night though. Most good shooters are very streaky.

Not exactly sure.

I have only seen parts of games here or there so mine is definitely not a deep analysis of him. I know I hadn’t seen any Iowa games for a bit. Shooters can be streaky but not that streaky. Naz or Matt would have missed but never be a 0/10 type appearance. He was trying to do too much and it killed them.

His first 5 or 6 attempts were actually good looks for him. When the game was out of hand in the final minutes, he forced a few at the end of the game that he wouldn't normally take. He shot terribly last night.

What on earth was Fran doing running Tony Perkins out there for down the stretch? Pretty sure both him and Patrick were in the game when Indiana went on their big run. Weiskamp nowhere to be found.

I can't agree with this. Good shooters are consistent. Guys who chuck at high volumes are streaky.

Only fell 3 to 5 which suprised me must of had a sizable lead on teams below us. That was the book on how you beat Iowa. They had the quickness advantage at almost every position.

Phew! Was worried they would fall below Drake. You know that CyTwins already has his post drafted up and just has to copy and paste and hit the "Post Reply" button if that happens.

Iowa is the perfect 2 seed come March to get knocked off early. So reliant on below average athletes to shoot well with no ability to defend.

An athletic team who can defend with a big body to guard Garza and they are done for

Fran doesn't know how to coach
We have a tough schedule yet

Sounds normal across all fan bases after a loss.

I don't think we will be a 2 seed come March but yes this team's limited athletically. March matchups are critical but for this team even more so.
