There is still WAY TOO MUCH TIME LEFT.

THE SKY IS FALLING! THE SKY IS FALLING!

lane violation....

@dexterhawk, heck of a comeback buddy. No matter how it ends up.

Bye Iowa

 

[awd4cy]

we played with effort on Friday night.

We also lost to a far worse team.

100% agree

 

[Cardinal2001]

That was a monster effort, Iowa. Played Barnes like a fiddle.

THE SKY IS FALLING! THE SKY IS FALLING!

I need to salvage the weekend somehow...

(And it is a bit of an inside joke, no matter how far Iowa State is ahead in a game or how little time is left, I'm the person in the stands saying "there's way too much time left")

If they couldn't lose by 30, having Iowa fight all the way back from the dead and push it to overtime only for it all to mean absolutely nothing in the end is pretty satisfying too.

True. A loss is a loss though.

Losing this close will piss Hawk fans I know off more than losing by 40.

Imagine if they hadn't fallen behind by 23 to start.

“McCaffrey on the floor. Another 3PT weapon”

I woke up the sleeping baby I LOL’d so loud. Worth it.

You got my respect today Hawks. Thought you'd fold in the second half. You didn't. Just a shame you didn't play in the first half.

I give Iowa a ton of credit for the effort. I wish we'd give that kind of effort once in a while.

But Tennessee really was stupid that 2nd half trying to run clock the whole time instead of pushing it like they did in the 1st half.

Iowa media all summer long will be pumping sunshine up Iowa fans butts. Big10 Champions or bust next year.

FIFY. Far far far worse team. Tennessee did some halftime celebrating and Iowa forgot to roll over. Credit Iowa for their second half effort and keeping Tennessee from getting back on track until overtime.

So in other words, no different than any other year in the state of Iowa.

Taking the air out of the ball opened the door for Iowa. Kind of like what we do with a lead. Hope we learn that aggressive basketball is the way to win.
