Was yelling at the TV when Jok gave up the ball to JBo on the second to last possession. I knew he would never be able to get it back.
End of Game WTF AGAIN

OP you're way off base on this criticism. That was one of the best end of game plays we have run in Frans career. The refs are a bunch of gutless chicken shit refs I have ever seen. They should be reprimanded for the blatant bear hug that Bryant got away with and all 3 swallowed their whistles.
Our OT record should be 3-1. We got hosed up in Minny with the dipshit refs having selective hearing.
I could hear him calling timeout from the tv. I'm still pissed off about that call!
I guess I'll need some therapy to get over it.

Who's hands would the ball be in up one? Do you want it in Cook's hands or in Jok/Bohannon/Brady's hands to shoot free throws? My point was call the timeout when the bigs rebound to get the ball to our free throw specialists.
I won't argue about calling two plays. It's a common practice. I also don't mind calling a second timeout with such a young team to ensure everyone is on the same page.
They were the deciding factor though... gave Indiana an undeserved chance to win the game in OT
As has been mentioned before, refs almost always swallow their whistle at the end of games, so it makes no sense to depend on them. That, and Bryant had been shutting down Cook and had a few blocks near the end of regulation. If I remember correctly, Cook was 0-7 going into The final minutes of play.
I hope this isn't Frans best plan moving forward.
I liked the play because everyone in the building probably thought it was going to Jok. I don’t want him trying to do anything off the dribble in a tight situation like that. Cook got absolutely mauled. The guy had his one arm almost wrapped around him.
I don't always agree with you...I'm sure you don't me as well...you are spot on here..can you imagine had we lost this game in OT? ... yet what thread do we get?.....without a single mention about Cook getting bear hugged,,,was that not an end of game event?
at Minnesota..we get royally screwed...what do we read?...oh well the 18 turnovers.
some people are hopeless..
You could make a good argument that we should be undefeated in OT games. Everyone remembers the no-timeout play at Minny, but I believe the overall officiating at Nebby at the end of the game and in the OTs was even more one-sided.
Slightly off topic: Home teams usually get calls, but watching the Mary Land vs Goofers last night, the same officials, who were calling moving screens repeatedly against the Hawks, were allowing Minny's players to set moving screens over and over again. Little Dick Pitino is living a charmed life with the B1G officials for some reason???

Yeah, I actually liked the play call as well. I'll take a two foot shot inside with 2 seconds left all day by one of our big men.
You can't run out the official clock when there is less time on the shot clock. The debacle was the possession when Iowa was up 75-73. Bohannon in all kinds of trouble and Fran watched with arms crossed and 3 timeouts in his pocket.
Great thread, But I don't over-analyze when we win. True, Cook got mauled. Bohannon should never have put on a dribbling act before he got picked. On and on. I was just happy our kids hustled all the way to the end.
