Agree. We heard all this when Harding and Freeman committed. Then it all hinged on Sandfort coming back and the guys gelling. Well, here we are again with the typical Fran team that puts up meaningless offensive stats, but nobody ever puts up defensive stats where Iowa is 17th or 18th in the conference and 170th or worse nationally. Fran will do what Fran does. Add a couple additive pieces but not address the PG spot, so we will go into next season with Harding and Dix. Dude cannot build a complimentary roster--same gaps every year (rebounding, defense, toughness, athleticism). I do not see Iowa winning a road game this year and there may only be 2 more wins on their schedule.
It would still be worth it as long as Fran is gone after this year

Maybe do something like what happened to Kirk. Force Fran to add a new #2 guy who coaches defense. If not, Fran has to go.
Hopefully, Lewis won't transfer after Fran gets fired or quits after the season ends.
Fran doesn't deserve a mulligan. He has had 4 of them already
Put an exciting winner on the floor and the seats will be full. Not rocket science
