Brutal is right. Many leads pissed away over that time
Hard to believe, at least until you remember who our coaches were in the 2000's. Fran's teams have been better, and I forget the years, but I remember two straight trips where a 6-8 point lead or so was coughed up inside the last minute. One time, I thought we were up by about 20 in the second half... and lost.
Ugh.
Ugh.
I think the 20 point lead was the 2015 game at Hilton? That game pissed me off. That and the 2013 year at Hilton
I still can't believe we blew that lead a few years ago when Uthoff put up 30 in the first half
As a Hawkeye fan for a long time, unfortunately I can....
Yes, that’s a long time and it’s bad. But, it’s been a home court series. How many wins does Ronald have at CHA in that same period?
That's true too. I'm honestly not as concerned about this game as some. The only reason I'm concerned is because it's at Hilton. The games I've watched and the ISU friends I have talked with gives me the opinion that this years ISU team is not as high powered on offense. Specifically, their three point shooting isn't even close to being as dangerous as recent ISU teams. Haliburton will make some good plays but I think the match-up I'm most concerned about is Bolton.
The Lafester Rhodes rape in 1987 will be indelibly etched in my head until I die.
That was an amazing performance, he was dropping in shots as soon as he crossed half court
I think he had like 8 points at the half, which it makes all that more crazy. He hit 11 shots straight and not all were layups
This would go a long way of putting Iowa on the right side of the Bubble, it is a huge game/opportunity in general.
Unfortunately, I can believe it.
I hope to not see a repeat of any nonsense like that.
Is that the game where Utoff had 30 points at half, and then disappeared in the 2nd? Strange game.....
Yep.....The 2013 one I just remember us missing all our key FT's at the end....
I remember that...it was almost like Uthoff was TOO dominant. Then, he cooled off/ISU doubled him every chance they got, and no one else stepped when Iowa needed it.
That was a frustrating team - fairly talented but it lacked that alpha-personality great teams have. We had that the year before with Aaron White, and lately with Bohannon, but Iowa frustratingly had a 2-3 year stretch where I'd argue where we had more talented teams that underachieved because we lacked that alpha guy who wanted the ball with the game on the line.
Unreal that it's been that long. I haven't watched a single ISU game this year but I know they've lost a few.
Love to see a win tonight, especially with it being on national t.v.

They up and down and talented/guards per usual. They haven't shot well this season so expect them to make everything tonight.
Let's stop the streak! Jason Benetti and Dan Dakich calling the game on the "ESPN2-Cyclowns" network.
Actually, they have shot well, away from Hilton. I would like ISU's chances more in Carver. Win or lose, I am hoping for an injury free game for both teams. Would be cool if the state could get three teams in the Dance.
Gessell missed around 4-5 free throws including one and ones and lost 1 game. That is why Jbo is so valuable...need a closer that makes FT.
Other loss that hurt Uthoff went off in 1st half, Jok for most of the game...but no one else could score...lose on last second shot.
