The boys played pretty bad tonight but fought all night long! I can stomach this loss.. Just get back on track!
Tough to get two stops but no the boards to go with it.. ugh

Gutsy
- Thread starter SotaHawk87
- Start date
At some point it ceases being gutsty. Taking off the first 36 minutes of the game should not be classified as gutsy
Theyve played like shit the last 3 games and have come away with 2 wins against 500 teams. You cant play carelessly against a team like maryland
Not the end of the world... all is not lost .. but can you imagine how amazing it would be if mosses reshot went in
A lot of Iowas issues are self inflicted... how many TOs has this team had the last few games? Too damn many
See what happens Friday, as that is a must win given recent program history (2014, 2016).
For sure! Pretty awful for Iowa to baffle back from 11 down.. shots weren’t falling, is what it is some nights
GTFO... you cant call it Gutsy when they play horribly the first half... of the last 3 games. I will give them NW and a win on the road. But tonight they were lucky to not get blown out
Some of you are such babies. They are 20-6 in the toughest conference in the land. They are not a perfect team and they aren’t going to be. They are going to lose some games and often the teams they play are going to have as much talent or more then they have. This team has far surpassed most everyone’s expectation coming into the year and if they say they haven’t they are probably lying. You can go check the preseason predictions on this site and most people said 17-20 wins total and NIT or NCAA Bubble at best. They are likely going to be around 23-8 and a solid at-large team.
I personally think this has been a pretty fun year. Yes, they have had some bad games and they have some flaws and we all want them to be better and never lose but it’s pretty easy to tell who has played basketball before and who understands that not every game is going to perfect. In the 33 years I have followed this team closely, there was only one team that was realistically good enough to win it all and that was the first year I started following in 86-87. Let me tell you a secret ... this team isn’t going to do it either.

I don't think either team played well and Iowa deserved to lose.
I don't believe in moral victories but they simply could have folded when down 12. Instead they battled back to get the lead and lose on a tip in. You won't win them all and the poor play caught up with the Hawks. Maybe this was a good thing?
