Serious question...
How many times in Hawkeye Basketball history have they scored 63 points in a half and lost?

On February 3, 1988 they scored 77 in a half against Michigan and still lost, 103-120.
That can’t be true.... That would have been under the great Dr Tom’s watch. Back during the great years of Iowa basketball.
Both those teams made the Sweet 16, and there were 7 NBA first round picks playing in the game. Not exactly like last night's Meeting of Disasters.
Really making yourself look stupid here. Iowa was sweet 16 that year. Iowa will almost have 16 sweet conference losses this season. Way to go fran!
But that’s funny coming from you. Someone who was dubbed as the “board’s white trash”.
I think it was 61-26 at half. The second half took forever!
Wasn't 63, but we scored 54 in the second half of the Louisiana loss just this year. That probably shouldn't happen either.
We scored 75 points in the first half of an NCAA consolation game vs. Notre Dame in 1970 after losing to Jacksonville on a last second tip shot. Won the game 121 -106.
I recall saying Dr. Tom's approach to 3 point shot defense was "watch them shoot and hope they miss".
I remember that approach, but three coaches later I’m thinking that’s just an Iowa thing and not a particular coach.
Pretty sure Purdue just hit another 3 while I typed that.
