I feel sorry for Davison and Wisconsin

[BirdistheWord]

OK, lets objectively address:

-Wisconsin should have been able to hold for the final shot in a tie game
-But Iowa got 3 FTs to take the lead on a phantom foul -
Not alot of contact, but i would argue exact same amount of contact as Davis' drive 1 minute earlier, when Garza mostly whiffed and just grazed him. So those are pretty equal in my eyes.

-Bad call on Murray foul
-Weak “flagrant” on Davison
I dont know, kind of a weird play but it looked possibly like Davison purposely "pulled" Murray's arm knowing that they might call a foul. Never had perfect angle.

-No review on elbow to Anderson
Just re watched, should have been a flop foul on Anderson. There was absolutely no elbow, not within 4 inches. Maybe shoulder graze at very most.

-Ball likely OOB off Iowa, not overturned
Pretty close call. Maybe call jump ball there.

Other in last 2 minutes:
On JBo drive with about 2 minutes left, I thought Davison missed him and foul should have been on Trice. Would have been his 5th.

Less than 2 minutes, high pick by Wisconsin and JBo gets hit in the face, no call, likely a foul.

PS In FOX postgame, my goodness, studio guys not very objective. You Mad Jim Jackson?

 

[Harbinger273]

I wish I was a scrub for Iowa so I could get put into the game just to lower the boom on Davison. I swear I would put him out of commission for a couple games at least.

 

[walleye hunter16]

Davidson probably feels so cheated. Got the hook and hold call again at CHA but didn't get to grab anyone's nuts this time.

Yep, left empty handed and broken hearted.

 

[Zmanbhg]

Davison deserves a lot more special treatment than he has gotten. I can't remember watching a Wisky game in the past few years, where there weren't multiple times when an opponent was either laying on the court or holding his face (or nuts) and Davison was involved in the play.

Davison tried to get Garza in the nuts fighting through a screen in the 2nd half. Fortunately Garza was tall enough that Davison couldn't lift his leg high enough to make contact. Wahl is a douchebag in sheep's clothing as well

 

[hawkedoff]

Trice fouled jbo. He grabbed his arm going around the screen. Jbo was smart enough to get into his shooting motion in the foul.

It was a light foul IMO, but I addressed this a few posts above. JBO did a nice job drawing that by getting quick shot off, to your point.

 

[sbhawk64]

you don't think the 5th foul on Trice sending JBo to the line for 3 was a gift?

game tied with 40 seconds left - critical call

Do you define 'gift" as a left armed push as LBO shoots the ball/ JBO definitely sold it but the push was there.

 

[hooper56]

With all the many examples of dirty play by Davison and other Wisconsin players, it is pretty clear that Gard coaches them to play this way. That type of basketball has no place.

 

[24 so far]

Davison did hook Murray. Normally probably wouldn't be called that late, but his reputation precedes him. That very last out of bounds did seem to go off Iowa. Was surprised by that call. The Murray call where he hit the shot falling back, they probably call that most of the time regardless of team.

I think Keegan himself was the one who pointed out the hook and hold, and he was right. That's what it was by rule.

That ball went out of bounds off Bohannon, you could see his fingers get bent backward (I was stunned when Iowa came out and was inbounding, after a review). And Bohannon most definitely did not get fouled on that 3 ( Trice touched him, but barely I believe - total sell job).

We were beneficiaries of bad officiating near the end, no reason to deny it, we have no control over it. Not sure how it would have played out, but we got some breaks and I'll take it for a change.

Disagree on your last two points. There was no clear indicator who the ball went off of, so Iowa's ball. On the JBo foul, he was most definitely being held going around that screen. The only gripe could be it as a shooting foul.

I was wondering why former Buckeyes jimmy Jackson was so butt hurt then I remembered his son played for Wisconsin so that probably explains why.

also I mentioned in a previous post of controversial calls. The basket and foul potter got under 4 min that led to the tv timeout was a clear travel that was over shadowed by crap storm that followed after the commercial break.

 

[ROCKY MOUNTAIN HAWK]

I want S*consin to win their BTT game vs PSU - Vadgers an easier matchup for Iowa, especially if Weezy might be out - but I want some PSU guy to knock Davison's teeth out before that game is over. And stomp on his tiny nuts as he's writhing on the ground in pain.

I don’t. I want to play P St over Wis again.

I could see Iowa beating Wis again but the Badgers playing crazy goon-ball towards the end of the game once they know they’re beat again.

 

[HawkRugged17]

 

[Robster Raws]

I love it. Gard just brought more negative attention to Davison which as a coach...same on you. And he’s irritated the officials (who made the correct hook n hold call btw) who he has to deal with right around the corner.

I feel like Frans approach in years past, led to us getting hosed by certain guys. Now it’s Gard and Wisc turn and I love every part of it.

 

[HFFL64]

I was all pissedconsined early when 2x they dove into the legs of a Hawkeye and threw a punch at the back of LG's head. I was watching together with mom on the phone while she watched at the same time so couldn't re-watch plays and haven't reviewed, anyone else see that? The pile up scrums for loose balls have always seemed dangerous and under officiated to me which is when one of the dives into a Hawkeye's legs occurred I believe.

Bohannon absolutely was fouled on the 3 point shot. Trice grabbed ahold of his arm/wrist and when Jordan heard the whistle he launched the shot. You can see this clearly on the replay. May not have been a shooting foul but Jordan did a remarkable job of selling the call.

 

[AwkHawk]

Even if we benefited from the whistle at the end, Wisconsin (and teams with their play style) often benefit throughout games by being allowed to hand check, grab when trying to get through screens on defense, setting illegal screens on offense (which we saw JoeT pointing out to the refs on one occasion), etc.

It is how their teams play and are coached to play. And it makes it hard on the refs because they know it looks bad when they are stopping play every 3 seconds so they are usually inclined to let stuff go. I actually give credit to refs for correctly calling the F1 in that situation. Made a huge impact but it was textbook and not the first time Davison pulled it. In reality, there shouldn’t have been a foul on Keegan at all, as all of the contact came from Davison hooking and holding.

I think the officiating wasn’t great and I can see how Wisconsin fans would blame the refs just like most fanbases do in games like that, but teams like Wisconsin and MSU seem to make it hard on the refs.

Watch more closely on Bohanno’s 3. Don’t focus on the shot. Look right before he goes into his shooting motion, Trice has a grip on Bohannon’s arm/wrist. Pretty sure that’s why Bohannon went up for the shot.

Fran would probably get fined and suspended if he called out the league and officials like that.

 

[MAXIMUSHAWKEYE]

yep just like the Jbo elbow missed trice in first half where he flopped. Or on the jump ball they had jbo’s forearm. Wisconsin players barely even touched the ball.

2 years in a row at carver that davison’s dirty tactics cost them in a close game. Beautiful. I just pray that dbag doesn’t taken advantage of the extra year rule.

You know he will. Where else is he going to play? I wouldn't doubt all their seniors come back next year

 

[Alex Thompson]

It seems like Bohannon recently read this ESPN article https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/30947170/the-nba-savvy-moves-innovators-push-limits-rulebook

He did the ball fake move against Nebraska in front of our bench, and pulled out another move to draw the foul on Trice. It’s the best counter to players who grab you when they play defense.

Lastly, any Wisconsin fan who thinks that Davison is unfairly targeted is delusional. He does that stuff every game. I watched the Ohio State game earlier this year and he went up for a layup and elbowed the defender on the way up- no call. He does the exact same move against us, no call on him. Thats not a coincidence to see a player do that move twice. Not to mention every game he hooks and hold. He has been doing it forever.

they were constantly grabbing on the screens I don’t know how he hell they get away with it so much.

It didn’t really cost them the game as the free throws offset. It would have cost them the game if the refs would have called it correctly.

Did you have a different camera angle than everyone else? There was no way to tell who last touched the ball out of bounds. None.

As for the Trice foul, Trice did grab Jbo’s arm and then gave a forearm shove to Jbo’s side. How can you not see that?

 

[the24fan]

Wahl has one of those punchable faces for sure . Dopey eyed sack of manure

I agree on the ball OOB, I mentioned in my objective view of all the calls a few posts above. We never got a lateral camera angle.

And, go back and look at the play where davis drove and pump faked Garza (maybe 2-3 minutes left in game), Garza literally whiffed and likely just grazed him with his offhand. Pretty ticky tack, no complaints from Wisconsin on that one.

Don't know about punching, but IMO he plays dirty as well

Didn’t see any complaints on Potter’s 4 step travel where he was awarded an and 1. Must’ve forgot about that one too

 

[iahawkeyes17]

It didn’t really cost them the game as the free throws offset. It would have cost them the game if the refs would have called it correctly.

It still hurt them a lot. Free throws off set however Iowa got the ball back up 3 instead of 1 if they would've just called a foul on Keagan. He basically made that possession a turnover by trying to draw the foul on Keagan pulling the hook and hold. Because after it was all said and done Iowa got the ball and was up 3 still. Plus after that weak jump ball call imagine if it would've been a 1 point game had they scored on that possession when that happened. But I agree if called correctly Davison wouldn't have even gotten his 2 free throws.

 

[rcribbs]

As an impartial fan of both teams, but a big college basketball fan - I enjoyed this game and thought it was a great college basketball game for 38 min. The last two were terrible. The final minute took over 19 minutes.

Refs were terrible down the stretch. Simply ruined the game!

If you are going to be upset about Potter's travel - fine. It was a travel. Go back and watch the game though - my wife pointed out that Garza hardly leaves the lane. So we started counting... Over 10 times both feet didn't leave the lane for over 7 seconds. You scored on 6 of those... Hard to play defense on a player that big and good for that long close to the hoop.

Good luck here on out...

Iowa isn’t the program that went on an embarrassing rant after the game. Your team better had played perfectly to give a press conference like that

Wisconsin and Brad Davison just got tripped up in the tournament. You hate to see it.

The highlight of my week which there are none form the Hawks is that I will never have to watch that dirty player again (BD).
