Yup, Iowa went zone to run the clock out. They didn’t really care if Grand Canyon scored. It was like Kirk milking a 10 point lead against Illinois.That game was never in any doubt whatsoever. The score is extremely misleading.
reffing sucked but the game was 86-74 and wide open. Not that badGlad that Iowa won, but holy shit was that game hard to watch. One of the worst reffing crews I have ever seen and GCU wanted to tard it up the whole game.
Makes for a really shitty product to watch.
Wide open? What game were you watching?reffing sucked but the game was 86-74 and wide open. Not that bad
Also they didn’t call the foul when bohannon was dribbling it up at the end when GCU was trying to give one so Iowa didn’t cover and I lost my bet.To give an illustration of how inept that ref crew was, the game was over (Hawks up 14/15, under 20 seconds left) and not only do they not call the obvious OTB on GCU's big over Luka's back, they call the ball out off of Luka when the Canyon big slapped the ball out of his hands.
Fitting, I guess, that the B10 ref was the one that it happened right in front of and yet missed the OTB and made the wrong OOB call, even after reviewing it.
Best part of the game? Keegan Murray swatting a GCU shot that ricocheted off of said Pfeiffer's face.
the game where a team scored 86 points.Wide open? What game were you watching?
I don't think you know the definition of wide open.the game where a team scored 86 points.
Or despite it probably being accidental, not calling the F1 on the open-palmed smack of JBo's face.Also they didn’t call the foul when bohannon was dribbling it up at the end when GCU was trying to give one so Iowa didn’t cover and I lost my bet.
He won't be there long enough.Have we talked about how Keegan will be an all-time great Hawkeye yet?
He will be from the standpoint he will leave early and make it in the NBA. Won't have a long career here because he is that good.Have we talked about how Keegan will be an all-time great Hawkeye yet?
lol.Let’s not start sucking early to NBA dicks on Keegan quite yet.
Great description. Basically the last 12 minutes were perpetually in range where we'd be able to get it over 20 and rest starters but could never get there. Mainly due to bad defense and rebounding. Some crazy calls mixed in.For a game that was never in doubt, that game was frustrating as fuck.
3 point shot is the great equalizer. Those low seeds used to get crushed when it was a low post game because they never had the size to match the high seeds.That is a good 15 seed. That 7 footer is a bitch with good touch and hands and massive. 6'11 guy who can stretch you plus a legit PG and physical defense. Short on wings and shooting but the gap between 2-4's and 13-15's has really shrunk in the last 10-15 years.

The size advantage p5 teams use to have on 13-16s at 4-5 is largely gone. That plus everyone being able to hit 3s so you cant dominate a game just pounding it inside has really narrowed the gap on a given day. Look at UNT - purdue. UnT has good guards but also a 6’10 who hung with Purdues main bigs.That is a good 15 seed.

can’t do it, brother. Hawkeye pride tonight!!Hey Lee, go easy on the Beev.
TygerTyler campbell needs to stop shooting

It was my birthday and I must have drank more than most here because it never felt in doubt after first 10 mins or so. Sounds like I would have been more stressed if sober.
Obligatory congrats to you and the father!My wife’s water broke about 3 mins before half. Doesn’t look like I missed much with the birth
Is ESPN pulling a Gus on Lax???
This is more pulling a Hawkeye Heaven than a Gus.Is ESPN pulling a Gus on Lax???
So if I am reading that right, they will give up shitload of points and quick possessions, especially inside due to their size.FYI, since this was requested earlier. Here's the KenPom team scouting report on Oregon.
