Fran, postgame: "Some things happened in this game that I did not like"

[cosmo90]

They sure as he'll made up for the B10 tournament in the NCAA tournament.

That seems to be a pattern with teams that win the B1G tourney.

 

[Bank of Hawk]

This team is still a lock for a ticket to dance in the BIG tournament

 

[Bishop1971]

Yep.

12 missed layups (14-26)

19% from three (3-16)

6 missed FTs (9-15 for 60%)

The most telling stats of the game

He said “Iowa played poorly”. You disagree?

Nope. Agree with that. Disagree the refs had any impact on the game.

2 point impact here.

Note that even if the foul was not called, Filipowski stepped out of bounds (watch fans on the left pointing)

 

[CleteyColgate]

Yep.

12 missed layups (14-26)

19% from three (3-16)

6 missed FTs (9-15 for 60%)

Doing the math, we most likely win if we make 1/2 of those layups and free throws and maybe a couple of threes

Why does Iowa state have a good bball fan base?

Because they were so god-awful at fball for so long, many of them grew up caring way more about bball.

 

[shudaddy]

What is there to do in Iowa City that is so great people don’t go to games but you can’t do it in Ames?

Ped mall >>>>>>> anything Lames has to offer

No but it looked to me there was contact on some of those shots which were so short. The shooter looking at the ref in amazement is a tell as well

we must have been watching a different game. 3 of those pathetic air balls were long. So zero contact caused those. Murray pulled the string on 2 WIDE OPEN looks and left them short. The officials had ZERO to do with this game. Trying to evaluate that fact that Duke is bigger, stronger and quicker at every position, Iowa making no perimeter shots on coulda, shoulda, wouldas with the officiating crew is weak Sandfort did look at the calling official on 1 of his 100 straight misses...guess if I were him I'd be looking for help(excuse) too.

so please explain exactly what the Duke player did wrong?

 

[dekhawk]

Better support from Ames and students. Pretty simple. I take it you don’t go to games or watch them on tv?

Perhaps it’s that they have had more success the last 20 years compared to Iowa. You know, the product on the court.

Open your eyes! He took his arm and shoved Pat out of the way.

I would like to see Patrick respond sometime as he gets pushed around and knocked down a lot.

 

[pistachio1999]

Maybe get his two boys to play better.

Maybe get his two boys to play better.

What a great idea!

 

[TRE 12]

Open your eyes! He took his arm and shoved Pat out of the way.

so both players have the right to the ball. The Duke player maintained the same path...Patrick tried to lunge into him to get in front. This is incidental contact, period. You cannot penalize a bigger player because the smaller one bounced off of him. Nice try though.

Hey hot shit...was that just a foul on Uhlis when he hit the Iowa state player from behind yet retained the ball? I'll wait for you intelligent reply
