Yep..And never play in Sioux City with that crowd at that "arena" ever again?
How about giving his son the zero minutes he deservesAnd never play in Sioux City with that crowd at that "arena" ever again?
Peyton has the exact opposite of the Big Al quick hook from last season!

I wouldn't say deserves zero playing time, but its beyond obvious if the opposition has really quick guards, he's gonna be a liability defensively.
Trey Thompson & Harris must have about zero amount of willingness to play defense. That's about the only reason I can see that for a game that went 45 minutes, they both combined for a DNP.
I would like for Iowa to learn to play some zone. With the size and reach of our players, a zone might be effective. We definitely couldn't stop their guards playing man, maybe a zone would have disrupted their play. Also in a zone, Thompson who is slower afoot, may be more effective because of his size. His offensive skills would help win games.
Recruit some freaking guards it was obvious from the jump we dont have enough. Howard can barely dribble. Hes play more like a 4 than a 2 offensively.
Oh well elite 8 in Ben we trust.

could not even win a decent scrimmage game and now this loss against vt . thanks to a series of low probability buzzer beaters ben stumbled into the elite 8 last year and continues to milk it...but for that and an elite ability to talk about basketball yes he would be on hot seat
Fans have opined in past that they would rather have a team make a real run then be bad than being decent every year, like under fran and KF.
Maybe this will test that theory...Elite Eight one year,not good next couple...but fans are willing to endure 12 months of pain(bad bb 2 seasons) for 2 weeks of tourny glory?
I always doubted that theory cuz bad seasons are so painful.

If he keeps playing Peyton... Unfortunately, YES!?!And never play in Sioux City with that crowd at that "arena" ever again?
The guy just does NOT have it. We literally lost the game, because Ben played his kid. #fact
While I agree he didn't play well...
1- he wasn't the only one to play ole defense.
2- he didn't miss all 16 fts.
3- he didn't miss two bunnies in ot.
4- he didn't put himself in.
We have to flip this roster in the next year or two. Good run last year, but it’s obvious the roster is middle of the road Big Ten.
