Hard to win on the road with so many turns.

MN got 22 points off 18 Iowa turnovers

Another big stat is points in the paint

Points in the paint
50 MN
32 Iowa

This comes from the post game radio show

It is hard. Fortunately, Iowa showed that it can be done when there isn't blatant intervention by a third party.

We did win though.

(FWIW, I get the point lol)

Nebraska big man has a point. This team is weak (as have been all of Fran's teams)

FWIW, there was ridiculous body contact on a lot of those blocks but that doesn't get called most nights in the conference. Tourney time those are fouls all day.

When the blocked shots began we should have made more 3-point attempts. Start the long-range bombing which will force them to come out and guard us.
Pretty simple. 14 blocked shots by them should have never happened.

The Gophers won the game because they made the plays down the stretch when needed plain and simple. I've never seen such whining about a single play in my life. Jok should've fouled out at least four times but the refs kept him in. You guys need to move on.

Your win was a joke. BTW, it was WAY more than one missed call.

Haha you're right the refs missed a lot of calls that should've gone against Iowa.

Not denying that there were a lot of missed calls both ways. If you are trying to say Minnesota didn't benefit from the officiating more so than Iowa you are delusional. Not to take anything away from Minnesota but this group of officials would be better suited calling pick up games at the Y. If this game had been called by a group with there head out of there asses Iowa would've won. Everybody but Minnesota fans with blinders on seem to know that.

They did miss a lot of calls, on both sides. No one said otherwise. However, the biggest miss came with 20 seconds left in the game. It was a terrible call that cost Iowa. Hats off to Minnesota for taking advantage, but if you don't think that call helped the rodents, you are a damn fool.
