Later, MSU got fouled and made 2 free throws which gave them a 3 point lead with 9 seconds left. Iowa got the ball......Izzo chose not to foul....and Clemmons from Iowa missed the 3 point shot.
Plus, on the first foul....MSU had the three point lead....16 seconds left......and fouled the Iowa player on the drive. It was not an intentional foul at all....just in the course of play. Iowa made one of 2, got the rebound on the miss, and got fouled again.....and again only made one of two.....and MSU got the rebound this time.
So the first time when MSU fouled was really more similar to the situation CFH feared last night....if the Iowa player could have tapped the ball to the outside after the missed FT. The second time......Izzo chose not to foul and take a chance on the outside shot....which is what CFH did last night.
Funny stuff here...........
Bill Fennelly@ISUCoachFen Tom Izzo is a great coach and HALL OF FAMER! He does not foul at the end up 3! They win the game--So NOW what will the experts say??
