Dick Allen Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 (edited) QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Mar 11, 2014 -> 01:13 PM) Don't ask me. So disappointing down the stretch. That said, that disappointment can turn with a good showing here on out. They clearly have the talent. They can't win close games and really have a tough time shooting 3s. I don't know what is going on with Aaron White. He disappears for long stretches. This is the first year under Fran the Hawks didn't significantly improve as the season went on. Hopefully it isn't a new trend. And hopefully Fran's 13 year old son will be OK. http://hawkcentral.com/2014/03/11/fran-mcc...earns-of-tumor/ Edited March 12, 2014 by Dick Allen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His oldest son was starting as a freshman PG at Iowa City West...not sure if they will end up winning the state championship or not, but they're one of the two co-favorites from what I understand. Season has taken a turn for the worse....some blame it on the defense/coaching, some on Zach McCabe and Twittergate, some on the beam collapsing in Bloomington and forcing them to play 4 games in 8 days, using too many players in their rotations, Marble trying to score too much and not distributing the ball like he did earlier in the season, the lack of consistent outside shooting, etc. Maybe winning at Ohio State bumped up the expectations to the point where the players got overconfident, as well as routing Michigan at home. Many theories. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously Duke or Louisville is going to be a tough game for anybody but they matchup just fine with either of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
