What strategies would you have preferred?Fran is not a master strategist in tournaments
This. They did it twice and Garza scored each time. Every possession should have went to Garza when that fuck is in.Iowa had opportunities, didn’t really capitalize. When Kofi was out they should have been going to Garza over and over.
Fuck that. No. You're way too stuck on this.I do wonder if OSU passed us up on the 2 line to be in Baylor's region and avoid B12 3 seeds. Would rather be with Baylor and Arkansas as the 3.
Huh? We were by all accounts right next to each other. That loss doesn't hurt us but OSU beating Michigan could easily see them bump ahead of us.Fuck that. No. You're way too stuck on this.
This is correct.They're better.
I read that incorrect, I thought you were thinking they slip down to a #3 seed.Huh? We were by all accounts right next to each other. That loss doesn't hurt us but OSU beating Michigan could easily see them bump ahead of us.
Iowa just crushed Ohio State at Ohio State and they are rated higher in every conceivable poll.Huh? We were by all accounts right next to each other. That loss doesn't hurt us but OSU beating Michigan could easily see them bump ahead of us.
I agree. But, they are both fucking great. This could be a final 4 or championship game matchup.This is correct.
Illinois was and is the better team.
Can someone point me to Frans postgame?
There is no way they were going to give Kofi a 5th foul today.Iowa had opportunities, didn’t really capitalize. When Kofi was out they should have been going to Garza over and over.
Iowa needs an engaged Frederick. Not sure what his problem was today.
He's also allowed to just stand in the lane on offense. Not even a half-assed attempt to step out, just stands in the paint.The degree to which Cockburn is allowed to rape and pillage with impunity should be an embarrassment to the conference.
That said, Illinois is the better team.
Maybe, but I sure would like to see an actual well-officiated basketball game to decide that.The degree to which Cockburn is allowed to rape and pillage with impunity should be an embarrassment to the conference.

FUCK! I sound like an Iowa State fan.Maybe, but I sure would like to see an actual well-officiated basketball game to decide that.
It's a goddamn miracle that Iowa was that close that late with that officiating, and leads me to believe the Hawks are every bit as good as them.
The layup where Perkins blew by a guy was a reminder of the general lack of athleticism on the rest of the team.Perkins had some good minutes. No clue who the pg is next year
Iowa missed Nunge today. Not having any sort of backup to Garza sucks. Also sucks when Iowa gets bogged down in a street fight and their ball movement stops. Way too much dribbling and guys not ready to catch and shoot. When they become hesitant, Garza sees 3 guys.Need to have some more athletes and enforcers if Iowa is ever going to win another Big Ten championship
There were 3 blatant travels that didn’t even include his regular shit he gets away with, like someone said in chat, just infuriating.I think I'm more upset that Curbelo gets to take extra steps.
H2H doesn't factor all that much and they beat us in our building a couple weeks earlier. Entering today both were unanimous 2 seeds and right next to each other on everyone's seed list. I'm not saying it will happen or it's that big of a deal but it's certainly realistic. I'd prefer Gonzaga's region with Arkansas as the 3 but it is what it is and we'd have to get there anyways.Iowa just crushed Ohio State at Ohio State and they are rated higher in every conceivable poll.
