****Iowa @ Illinois Game Thread****

They are a 5 seed playing like a 10 seed. It will be tough to win one game in the tournament.
 
Foul trouble, one time out. So what's everyone thinking a solid 20 point loss?
 
Not expecting a miracle comeback at this point.

Hopefully no injuries the rest of the way and let's see if they can at least win one game in the BTT.
 
so they reach in on Kreiner 2x resulting in a turnover and then he does it on the other end and gets called for it? got it. this games over(would love to eat my words)
 
Since this team is safely in the NCAA tournament, I say that, game one in the BTT, tell Wieskamp that he needs to get up 30 shots. He needs to shoot himself out of the slump for the Hawks to have any prayer of making a run in the dance. Win or lose, I don’t even care. Guy needs to get it together
 
The formula for beating Iowa has been published. Push, shove, and hope it doesn’t get called. If it does get called, we shoot a ton of FTs. If it doesn’t we get run over.
 
These two teams play again Friday, assuming the loser doesn't collapse on Thursday.
Iowa will beat them on a neutral court.

I wouldn't be surprised to see Iowa lose the Thursday game to Minnesota. Fran's teams have never done much in BTT. Maybe round of 32 NCAA win and bounced out in NCAA next game.

I don't think Iowa will come back in this game at Champaign. Just not enough scoring beyond Garza and the defense/rebounding is weak.

Can’t rebound. Fold mentally it shots don’t fall. And any effort play that is made is a foul on one end, play on at the other end.

I hate bad rebounding so much.

I’m so friggin irritated. This second half looks night and day different. Touch fouls called and then blatant push on the backs no call. To boot, we can hit the broad side of a barn. Iowa needs to go back to Garza and have him post up. The quick three shot isn’t working. Get it down low hawks.
 
I just don't understand, they are mugging Iowa and that is ok. Hands straight up on the entry pass and the whistle blows immediately on Kriener. F#*k these refs. What is a foul on one end should be on the other end. Getting sick and tired of watching Garza, CJF and Weezy get hammered with no call......
 
I did not think we would see a Fran fade this year....but it is happening. When it happens just a few times in a coaches career at a school it is one thing, but it is so common with his Iowa teams that there HAS to be something to it.
 
IA-IL rematch in the BTT after IA beats MN it appears. Don't like the body language of IA right now.

IL catching all of the breaks (not the officiating per se) & quicker to the ball.
 
Connor keeps leaving his man. I’ve seen it about 5 times now. Results in a wide open shot. Not sure if the ankle is an issue or what.
 
Not this shit again. How is it on Fran? B1G win percentage on the road is abysmal. This game was a long shot to begin with. We’ve done great with what we have this year. That’s what is on Fran.

Yes, finish 11-9 is like winning a B1G title for Iowa fans.
