Social media reacts as Iowa basketball gets swept by Wisconsin

[ad_1]

Frustration is mounting in Iowa City. It’s understandable after No. 19 Wisconsin made the plays late and topped Iowa, 74-63, on Saturday afternoon inside Carver-Hawkeye Arena.

With the win, the Badgers completed a season sweep of Iowa. The Hawkeyes have now lost six of their past seven games and fell to 13-10 (4-8 Big Ten).

While several key opportunities remain against No. 24 Maryland, No. 25 Illinois and No. 9 Michigan State, Iowa is running out of chances to enhance a potential at-large NCAA Tournament resume with just eight regular season games remaining.

Iowa was led by sophomore forward Pryce Sandfort’s 14 points, but Iowa couldn’t overcome Wisconsin senior guard John Tonje’s 22 points and the Badgers’ 12 made 3-pointers.

As Iowa continues its descent, here’s how social media reacted to the Wisconsin loss.

Hawks lose. Again.

Running out of things to say at this point. Just keep blowing games

Guys the basketball season has been an absolute disaster but next weekend I’ll have Iowa baseball on my TV as their games against South Florida are on ESPN+ so at least they got me to this point this year.

Student section sat the entire game. Top 20 opponent, Iowa led for most of it or it’s been a 1-2 possession game. Sitting down. There’s not much worse out there

That wasn’t over-and-back, right?

Seydou Traore is playing like a man possessed right now.

He’s been stellar this second half.

Wisconsin is power bombing our players, crowd is actually boo’ing, and Fran McCaffery is just standing with his hands in his pockets. 5 years ago he’d be throwing chairs at the refs.

Bye Fran
