Has Iowa ever been screwed out of the dance?

Joey was caught on camera stealing from the cage and then still tried to deny it.
IMO, this was by far the worst snub of Iowa BB in my memories. I was so pissed.
How about in 2017 when the refs ignored three Iowa players trying to call TO and instead called a jumpball and Minnesota got the ball back with 20 seconds to go. Iowa probably would have won that game if they would have gotten the TO they called. I think they would have made the tournament that year with that win.
That game STILL make me angry, it was painfully obvious "TV Ted" and the rest of the zebras were ordered to keep Iowa from winning.That was straight up 2005 Iowa vs. Florida Outback Bowl-esque ref misconduct.
Did Fran get T'd up that game? If not, crazy how he managed to escape one, would've been well deserved. MSU thug ball at its finest...Draymond Green as the ring leader, how that wasn't a foul on Marble was crazy!
Yep still see it clear as day in my head, any video of the shot clock violation they scored 2 on?
Didn’t Tyler Smith and Henderson go through something similar?
Not to mention Pierre Pierce.
What is “the cage”?

I think everyone is aware of that. TD should have gotten rid of him, but didn't.
I was going to bring that up. Absolutely terrible call. Beyond terrible.
Forgot to mention that the player who tied up Ellingson was out of bounds.

Yep, MSU got their first lead of the game off the Payne 3 pointer that I talked about earlier. Too bad its not shown in that clip, I was so furious I threw my phone across the room.. when the announcers replayed that play they remarked that Payne got away with one there. If he gets called for the illegal screen or the push-off then the game would have been completely different, I think that would have been his 4th foul. (Iowa managed to get him in foul trouble early in the first half and he picked up a foul right at the beginning of the second.)
I don’t remember any T’s. He did throw his jacket at the bottom of the scorer’s table, near mid court. The jacket left the coach’s box. At one point, Fran slams his hands down on the scorer’s table only to pick them up and slam them down harder.
The shooting foul on Aaron White was pretty bad. The kind of call where a ref should have their whistle removed from them permanently. You’re either too bad at this officiating thing or a cheater. Either way, there’s no room for that in high level college bball.

To blame Bowlesby for that is absolutely insane. If Bowlesby would have ''swallowed his pride'' is asking someone to surrender their balls. In all these years, over twenty of them, and lots of conversations, I have never heard anyone make that suggestion. You may want to check your shorts. The situation was all on Davis who cried to Mary Sue, and on Mary Sue who made the piss poor decision that may have affected her status at Iowa. I know that she made a lot of people extremely angry and that she wasn't there much longer. Davis very well knew what effect his lame duck season would have on Iowa still he choose his own narcissistic self and his gigantic ego over the welfare of the team and the school. Who the hell does that? It is my opinion that Alford knew that Range was to be gone before he was hired. I believe that Bowlesby made that a condition. Range had a domestic violence issue in Galesburg even before he got to our campus. Davis should have not allowed him to come to Iowa. He wouldn't have gotten away with that today.
we sure were in 1995 was at the time the worst snub in NCAA history at the time. It was outrageous politics at its worse. It was also one of the seasons where the Big Ten officiating just destroyed the season. Several Nebraska like games.
I don’t think Higgins has done another Iowa game since that night in Cedar Falls. Not much of a stretch since Higgins doesn’t do many B1G games/teams in general. Boroski, unfortunately, has done many.
I’m also guessing it will be awhile before we see McJunkins doing another Iowa game as well.
I stand corrected. I just looked up the Cal Poly game. Oddly enough, I was actually there in attendance for both, which makes it even more embarrassing.
Cal Poly was the Nunge ACL game.
I'm 100% with you on this! One of the reasons I can't stand MSU! If they lost every game some year I would be thrilled. We've been screwed out of a number of games vs those guys over the years. Remember that foul they called on White at the end. Perfectly clean; thought White was going to lose it. I was.
Part of leadership is knowing when you are beat. Bowlsby put his ego ahead of the program. The one year goodbye tour was a disaster.
So, your solution would be that no AD would ever be able to fire a coach again if the coach didn't want to go. Davis would have been our coach for the rest of his life and there was nothing anyone could do about it. That is not leadership, that is SURRENDER!!!
Not if the President puts a one year suspension on the termination. What AD has ever done that? Crazy.
Mohawkeye:
''Bowlsby should have never agreed to the one year goodbye. He should have swallowed his pride and reupped Davis’s contract. That mistake set back Iowa basketball immensely.''

''Davis would have been our coach for the rest of his life and there was nothing anyone could do about it. That is not leadership, that is SURRENDER!!!''
What would that accomplish? A one years suspension on the termination is STILL creating the lame duck season.

I respectfully think you need to reread what I wrote. If the PRESIDENT of the University says you can’t fire him without a 1 year goodbye tour, then you don’t fire the coach.
You have the reading issue. You. also, said that Bowlesby needed to swallow his pride and renew Davis's contract and then you said that as long as the President put a one year suspension on the firing everything would have been okay as if that would have solved the lame duck season. Are you this much of a hoot or are you trying to pull my leg?
Everything in my post is accurate, including that Iowa lost to Indiana 110-79 on the last day of the season and just missed the tournament as a result. I understand that in another season Iowa swept Indiana and despite a similar record got left out of the tourney while Indiana got in. What does that have to do with my post? What exactly are you "talking about?"
