Hawkeye basketball are playing poorly because they're tired from the Europe trip they took last summer.

This always cracks me up, these guys are in their teens and early 20's and could play twice a day all week if needed.

That's a unique twist on the usual argument that it builds up a team for the season.

If anything theyre still benefitting from that trip. They seemed like a team that was ready to go early in the season, and its where they built all their hype that somehow still has them in the top 25

That place is always full of excuses.

...but depth?

Between the Iowa meltdown, the overtime win on senior day and Melvin being voted Big 12 POY, this has been my best weekend as a Cyclone fan in a long time. Thanks to the fine folks at HN for providing the icing on the cake.

The sky is falling in Iowa City because it fell in Bloomington.

Ya gotta give 'em points for creativity. Caught an interview with Fran-Tech tonight in which he said his team is tired. What happened to that superior depth?
Maybe they're tired of watching their coach scream at the refs all game long...

Watched the wisky-Nebby game today& halftime announcers said IOWA COULD'T GUARD A CHAIR when discussing BOGUS 10 BB NCAA tourney prospects. HIT THE NAIL ON THE HEAD

Watched the Fred Hoiberg Show and then left it on for the Granny Glasses show. When he isn't raging, Mad Fran looks like he has indigestion.

Yeah, but they are blaming the falling beam. They had to play six in three weeks like the pros.

Mentally that is a spent team. I watched some of the game Saturday, and they didn't look engaged at all.

Marble was checked out. The only fire really only came from Woodbury.

They have time to turn it around, but the odds are definitely not in their favor.

At least one of their posters don't have his head up his arse. What a stupid excuse the others are making. Iowa is decent team but no better. They should just be happy that they will make the big dance after being away for so many years.

On the road for 5 days without returning home? When did that occur?

That is pretty funny, but it's just one moronic poster. Everyone else is discarding that theory.

For the next four hours or so.

Did he shush the home crowd at some point?

What did he do, light match? There is no way you meant his play
