Or.....I was actually paying attention and made a correct assessment based on Iowa's lack of defense and poor shooting.

Gonna be a lot of posters getting blocked today based on these resent PMac posts...
this was a 75-75 game with 5:53 to go
Illinois outscores us 20-10 to finish us off
95-85, final

Yeah refs plus missed shots and dumb turnovers cost us the game. And Fran not doing very good coaching down the stretch.
Inability to rebound, second half swoon, and terrible games by Sandford, Freeman, and PMac did us in.
Missed opportunity. Great first half. 2nd half was crap. We can beat these guys in IC. Need to take care of business before then.
We don't have time for moral victories. This is another box checked for another loss after having a 7 pt lead where we collapsed.
For 35 minutes we gave them a game. Last five sucked the wind!
Freeman and PMac combined for 50 min and 12 points. On the plus side, Freeman had 8 rebounds. PMac had only 1.
He would be an asset if he was a 10 minuter per game guy...ride him longer if he's making baskets. Unfortunately Fran can't help himself. I don't mind Jack going elsewhere because Fran has a double standard for his kids.
Sadly, 'twas not brought - now we gotta bring it every game from here on out if we want a chance to dance.
I think the only chance the Hawks have now is to win the BTT. Which is highly unlikely.
This is true. We have Illini lat home last game. Iowa can beat this team.
I'm not trying to be a hater or get blocked by the protectors, but I honestly feel like if PMac doesn't play today we win the game. I'm sorry, but it is what it is.
There will poster's talking about that one rebound for days
Illini had too many horses....they looked fresher down the stretch.
Once again we give up too many threes and let an unknown guy have a career nite.
Hope that last turnover by PMac resulting in 10 point deficit does not hurt our Net.
His offensive game is very lacking and hurts us on defense.
Great game by Dix.

I think we need exactly 4 more wins and we're in.
Nah. If we win the next 3 and 1-2 in the BTT we’re in. Quad 1 opponents coming up in Northwestern and Illinois.
I hope you are right. Still.....those 4 wins will be tough to get.
Iowa shot 48% for the game, but just 35% in the 2nd half.
Iowa shooting, broken down (no pun intended):

Freeman missed some shots he normally makes. The 8 rebounds were big but we needed more. PMAC played one of his games where he's not a factor on offense and then his lack of defense/rebounding gets magnfied. PMAC just developed too many bad habits of avoiding contact and just looking for cheap run outs---too late to change his game and his Dad was the enabler. Not PMAC fault he got special treatment.
I think when Underwood took out his starters and we couldn’t extend the lead it was game over. Their starters had fresh legs the last 10 minutes.
Dix will play some professional ball. Good defender, good handles, can make all the shots. Reminds me some of Bobby Hansen, quiet-tough-assassin.
That is what frustrates me the most. If PMac had the role your suggesting since the beginning of the year, guys like Dembele, Harding, and Bowen would have gained a lot of valuable experience and could potentially be counted on as the 5th player on the floor during important stretches. But, alas...
Yeah, and at his size it really has factored into games where he could have made a consistent impact.
So winning the next 3 is necessary for NCAA bit or else wining B1G ten tournament? Are we close to MarkfromJ admitting the next few games are must wins or are we relying on winning the Big10 Tournament as our way into NCAA tourney?
It was good effort today.. I doubt this team wins at Carver vs Illini. Illini just too many weapons, including off the bench.
