FLOP: Iowa Men Fall to Ohio State in the Big Ten Tournament

Eliot, Adam and Ross talk #Iowa's second round loss to Ohio State in the men's Big Ten Tournament. Perimeter defense and missed opportunities dig the #Hawkeyes too deep of a hole, Tony Perkins attitude at the end of the game, and Fran McCaffery's future.

Iowa fan base has checked out from Fran. No amount of lectures from the Iowa media will change that. If Fran is back, look for an even greater level of fan apathy next season.

[@AC-yw4du]

Nobody has wasted more generational talent than Fran. An even mediocre coach would have accomplished something with the level of talent he has had to work with. The wins record is meaningless. Stay in one place long enough and that’s just going to happen.

14 seasons, and can't say sweet sixteen still.

Your kids got playing time, one got a gf. Time to go Fran. Seen this show too many times.

[@mattanderson4745]

Hopefully Fran will resign and follow his son Jack’s bb career

[@Etalicus]

sorry Fran has had plenty of wasted talent Fran can not develop anyone. He is not a power 5 coach and if you leave any coach at a program long enough he will break win records eventually

[@AdamjacobiGIA]

All due respect, but Fran is over .500 in Big Ten play for his career, even with the mess he inherited. Not asking anyone to be happy with zero S16 appearances, but “not a power 5 coach” is a label that belongs on Fran’s predecessor.

[@Etalicus]

@@AdamjacobiGIA i completely agree that Lick was also a non P5 coach. Iowa Fired Dr Tom and he never lost a first round Tourney i could carless if you play well during the bigten tourney means absolutely nothing. only one tourney matters and being .500 in a conference doesn't mean your good it at best means your middle of the road and im sorry Iowa needs better then middle

[@felts5541]

Lol there's some criticisms of Fran for sure but saying he's not a power 5 coach and can't develop anyone?? Lmao. That's hilarious

[@Etalicus]

@@felts5541 Who came into Iowa under fran and actually improved? That didn't already have those skills coming in. Sorry for the money he is making Iowa got cheated

[@AdamjacobiGIA]

@@Etalicus Keegan Murray maybe? Luka Garza? Kris Murray? You know, the guys in the NBA despite not coming in as 5-stars? Did they... accidentally get better at basketball in IC?

[@sammy2840]

Hey Iowa! Hire Lisa Bluder to coach both teams! She can’t do worse than Fran! Gawd, 🏀🤢🤢🤢🤢🤮🤮😵‍💫😵‍💫😵😵😮😦🙄🫨😬😒😞😔😣😖😫😩😤

This was a rebuilding year. The fact they were on the bubble is remarkable. People need to chill out.
