They are just playing really stupid right now.
So many turnovers. Forcing a single offensive play over and over.

Iowa is overplaying everything everywhere and no answer. Cmon Bill.

Deserve to lose.
And losing to Iowa is gross.

Do we run anything other than trying to throw to Crooks? Good God. It works much of the time but not always. With this group we should have multiple sets to get people open. Finally ran one to brown, but to late.

Having your best player out of the flow of the game for a quarter is bizarre. Bill trying to be edgy. Meanwhile, another L. Well done. Iowa state way.
No

LOL. Those dissing Bill. Please the fix was in when the line shot to 8.5. Complete garage game influenced by the refs.

Meh, I think it's becoming clear this team is mediocre at best. These turnover numbers are not new, probably averaging 15ish per game over the past couple of years.

I'm just going to drop this and then stay off the women's threads for a bit because I know how this goes lol. Not a great game, still got more learning to do. Signs of promise in the first half, but the frequent fouls (both ends) didn't let the Sisters gain some semblance of rhythm. Officials clearly helped the Hawks, but can't complain too much when we shoot FTs like we did. Some turnovers were fouls, but there were many in the 4th that shouldn't have been turned over. Lots to figure out - still time to do that with Big 12 play, but there needs to be something changed.

Iowa reminds me a bit of WV, minus the full-court press. Pesky on defense - Jensen has made an impact on the style of the team already. I wouldn't be surprised if Iowa is contending for a 3rd-4th place in the Big 10 with how weak it is after your first couple teams. Just hard to beat and don't give up.

This team might end up like Prohm’s final year, talent in all the spots with a lack of leadership, chemistry, and effort.

Bill is really struggling with in game adjustments this year. Hasn’t seemed like an issue in the past, but he sure isn’t pulling the right strings when his team needs him.
