Graham Couch: Iowa Basketball is a mid-major roster
- Thread starter CyTwins
- Start date
Radio said the officials bailed Iowa out. The box score tells the same story
Were the Wisconsin players using vulgar language and telling the Iowa players to get the **** out? During a freaking hand shake line which is an institution at the end of basketball games to promote sportsmanship?
He's getting more desperate by the game. By the end of the season he will be trolling you over Iowa's games falling in the most advantageous stages of the lunar cycle or something.
The officiating was atrocious throughout the entire game. I thought a few calls in the last 5 minutes or so could have certainly been attributed to Iowa's crazy momentum down the stretch. Were they make-up calls? I've got no idea, I just thought there were some pretty ticky tac calls going in Iowa's favor.
Being said, the grittiness and resolve of this Iowa team is incredible. I'm not an Iowa fan in the slightest, but Iowa basketball has been appointment TV for me this season.
Now do Iowa this year with Bohannon and without Bohannon. Crazy how much better you guys are now that he's sitting.
Can't tell from that angle. Do you know? One Wisconsin player tried to punch an Iowa player in the pills...should Connor McCaffrey want to shake his hand afterwards? The officials allowed the game to get way to chippy and tempers obviously took over down the stretch for both teams. This isn't a pattern.
Now cyclone fans are accusing the Hawks of being "bullies".....
My how times have changed.....
The more I watch the replay, the more it looks like Davison went for the money shot, then reconsidered and decided to hook McCaffrey's leg instead. I'm not trying to discredit Davison's dirtiness, because I'm still baffled about wtf he was trying to do.
At first I thought the two players collided and just fell down, then I saw the replay and was like, "What in the hell is happening here?"
I honestly can't tell if you're being serious or not. Good job! CyTwins is off his game but you're on yours.
They called 28 fouls on Wisconsin. How did they let the game get chippy? By not calling fouls on Iowa?
With- tourney ?
W/0- lock for the tourney
Probably fair right? A month ago, even you die hards weren't considering the Hawks a lock. He shuts it down, the schedule gets tougher,you guys play better and now barring something insane, you're dancing.
are you saying that the Hawks would've embarrassed the Clones worse in Hilton without Bohannon? by 30 or more?
I get it, you havent seen your team play with fire much this season.
They're better now....they were good then. I like a 8 man rotation....one of my bigger gripes with Fran has always been trying to manage a 10-11 man rotation.
It was dirty no doubt. Then again, everything looks worse in slow-mo. Tough to pass up an opportunity to hit little McCaffrey in the nutsack.
After the 8 min tv timeout, Wisconsin went 3-10 from the field with 4 turnovers. They also went 1-3 from the line with one being a front end. They had 11 fouls called on them including the technical. 4 of those fouls were in the last 32 secs purposely putting Iowa on the line and stopping the clock down by 5. Factor out those 5 fouls and it was 6 fouls on WI and 4 on IA. Iowa's press was the difference down the stretch.
