It was kinda funny to be giving up the bonus+ with 11 minutes left at home while Izzo is absolutely irate over 2 of their 4 fouls.

Consistently competing in the first half followed by losing the second half by 20-30 points, over and over, home or road, is a coaching issue.

seems like the boys are really wilting come nut cutting time.

I attribute a good bit of that to their extreme physical softness

Braun is the only one with a D1 physique. Barely plays of course.

Well Traore too, but he can’t chew gum and walk at the same time, so that’s problematic.

None of our moderately skilled guys have any capacity whatsoever to absorb contact.

So if Iowa loses on Sunday, they aren't making the Big Ten Tournament?

Just need to win 6 games in 8 days to make the tournament. Simple enough.

Do other teams coaches wives come over to the bench to talk to the head coach in the middle of time outs?

Nebrantska has everything to play for and I think we saw Iowa’s last gasp yesterday. Man this is so stupid. March is so much better when your team has a pulse and you can dream.

MSU being in the double bonus with 7 minutes left and only having committed 3 fouls was fucking absurd. Camel is right. Izzo got in the refs ear and it turns into a completely different game. T his bitch ass the fuck up a couple times and toss him the fuck out. Tired of that fucking sack of shit midget.
It wasn’t really the officiating though. Sandfort tried to dunk on their center, was a clean block and a foul was called. Went to the other end, their guy attempted a dunk and probably got fouled. No call. Sandfort tried to dunk again and got fouled and Izzo was fucking livid.

Sandfort kinda pissed them off by trying to dunk, they decided to stop shooting 3s and just driving to the basket. It was either a dunk or foul every single time.

Thats where the pastyness of Iowa took over. Started settling for jumpers instead of attacking the basket when it was a free whistle at that point. Been that way all season.

I’m not saying Iowa doesn’t suck but come on. The Iowa defense putting a team in the double bonus with half a game to go? No way. They’re too terrified of contact for that
