Absolutely. There's a reason this team doesn't fold when things aren't going their way.
Heated at rhe end of the game?!
- Thread starter billshawks
- Start date

I can't figure out what Illinois was mad about. The dunk by Wieskamp made sense. Why with a clear path to the hoop would you pull out and risk missing 2 free throws? Then their 3 cuts it to 4. A steal and another 3 and they're right back in it with 20 seconds.

Yep. Incompetence from the refs just Stokes the fire. Every single player frustrated
Just being objective. Every situation like this in the past two years, conors been involved. Smoke/fire.

And BTW: You ain't gonna get away with that BS against THIS Iowa team. Connor, CJF, and Luka just will not back down. Man, did I say I HATE Illinois? What a bunch of goons led by a bunch of goons.
Iowa had to beat 8 guys today, and they did. Tough day for the muggin', cryin' Illini.
Those of you critical of Connor or any other Iowa player or coach for defending themselves are a bunch of whining apologists. Grow a pair. When you're being physically attacked, I suppose you turn the other cheek, right? LOL
Just because you may be sniveling cowards doesn't mean the Iowa Hawkeyes should be. This team has the guts to stand up for itself. Too bad some of you don't.

i don’t have to be the fan of another team just because I can be objective.
IMO, the end-of-game situation was on the refs. Yeah, foul would have been pointless, but when the Illini dude basically mugged Connor for four seconds what did people think was going to happen? Official calls that and there wouldn't have been an escalation.
On the other hand, what the hell is Underwood doing instructing his players to foul with 4 seconds left down 7 ???

Are you seriously being critical of Cmac? He's standing there with literally one second left and the guy is hacking him for the ball when their down by 7 points. He did a good job of holding it together that well. FINALLY, we have a team that is NOT going to back down or fold up when things get tough late in close games. CMac played his ass off again today, so take your complaint elsewhere thank you very much.....
Illinois having an Assistant displaying road rage after the game is over and teams are trying to exchange handshakes is inexcusable...he is the only guy to blame for that. Illinois head coach should shut down his assistant before any of that happened...but he looks like he has road rage the whole game too.
Fran did it right....walk away from jerks.

I’ll take a team full of red asses like CM every day. Maybe not all of them but you get my point.
absolutely. I can admit when I’m wrong unlike any other hawk poster in the history of the inter web
He isn't a shitty fan he is just soooo objective.

Again, are you implying this is a bad thing?
You can't take shit from the other team if you want to be good at this level.
prob a little bit of both. Their guard took a swipe or two, Conor made some comments. On both.
sounds like you don't like him and you care

I wonder why you're getting zero likes in this thread?
Ill-Annoy was out of line at the end of the game.
Period.
You're not being objective. You're stating you're biased opinion and calling it objective
If the Illini assistant would have just shut his fat yap at the end of the game.
Yep. Completely avoidable. But refs not doing their job... Why is anyone surprised?
After he got mugged, that's not instigating
You are a dB.GTFO with your dribble!

Well, it should tell you that you're wrong in this instance.
Ive watched it over and over and I don't see CMac do anything. The official looks like he was chasing him down, but I don't see CMac doing anything. It just looked like the assistant wouldn't shut up to Fran about something (the dunk??) not sure. It was the assistant who wouldn't shut up and Fran finally said, "enough".
This is true, but my goodness officials, do your job and call the dang foul there.
It shouldn't matter there was only 4 seconds left. That's how fights start on the basketball floor. Illinois player clearly trying to foul and when he's not getting the call he starts fouling harder in attempt to get the official to blow the whistle, which of course is going to illicit a response from the offensive player. It's on the officials.
Yeah, Connor has been part of those situations the past two years because he's the guy getting the inbound pass at the end of games and getting hacked by the other team. And he's getting the ball because he's a great free throw shooter and handles the ball well. Geezuz, what the hell is wrong with this Rocket dude?
I don't see Conner saying anything, where do you see that?
Connor was chirping with somebody on the Illini bench (or the Illini bench in general) as he walked off the court. He was probably pissed that he was being mugged as time expired up seven points
The Illinois player punching at the ball is reminiscent of ISU's Michael Jacobsen doing it at the end of that game, also Connor holding the ball for the clock to run out.
