Are we still embarrassed to lose to Minnesota? Because a lot of people here were ready to declare the end of the world for it.

Oh don’t worry. The next loss will be the end of the world again. Lots of people on here seem to think iowa should be undefeated every year.
I don't think embarrassed is right. Frustrated.
I kept my calm. Still you need to win every game you possibly can in this league and being up 7 with 1:?? left on the clock sucked.
Not embarrassed by the lost, just how we lost. Really not hard to distinguish
So you still believe Minnesota is good for 4 or 5 wins in the conference?
Choking away a road conference game is frustrating, especially for a team that went 2-8 last year on the conference road. It is doubly frustrating to have it occur at Minnesota, where the Hawkeyes haven’t won back to back games in a very long time.

Beat MD on Thursday, so many what ifs we left on the court that day but get another W on the road Thursday and forget about it.
Minny is a bad loss only because of how it happened and not because Minny sucks.
You've made so many idiotic statements over the years but this could crack the top 15
Exactly, think about that. Up 7 with 44 seconds. Shoulda been Jbo fts and game over
Exactly. It’s not the team, it’s the fashion in which we lost
This year, I think that the only "embarrassing" loss in the Big Ten would be to Nebraska. Now, is it frustrating to lose a game when you are up 7 with 44 seconds left? Of course, and in a year where the Big Ten is absolutely stacked, and wins are very hard to come by, it is still especially so.

The OT loss on the road to a ranked team was not "embarrassing". Far from it. Especially not in this season's B1G.
However, losing after being up 7 with just :44 left on the clock in regulation was very frustrating to watch.
And that loss might mean the difference between an outright regular season championship, a tied one, or being a game out of winning outright/a share at the end of the regular season.
This. That game was in the bag had we just shot free throws like normal. Regardless of how good Minnesota is or is not, its damn hard to win a conference, especially one as good as the BIG is now, and boot games with a 7 point lead in the last minute......
