They also started to walk the ball up court nearly every possession when they got up 12. I thought was too early with how they struggle with half court offense.
If they call traveling appropriately, Iowa wins by double figures. So many of their post moves involved lifting/moving the pivot foot before the shot.
True, but these refs called about 4 or 5 fouls where there wasn’t one. Women’s officials anticipate way too many then refuse or don’t see some obvious ones. CC got some in her favor but McMahon got way more and should have had 10 on herself. No way I could coach with what is put on the floor with officials.
This looks bad but I think it showed it was a clean block from a different angle
All a matter of perspective I suppose.
Ironically Buckeye fans are complaining that Iowa got way more favorable calls from the officials.
Because the crew was garbage?
Of course not but I would have still thought the crew was garbage and thought Iowa won in spite of playing 5 on 8.
OSU should be fined and the young woman should be charged and banned from the arena. She had no business being on the court.
Aren’t you an ISU fan?
Bodied her first, foul, then blocked with hand second. You dont get to hip check shooters in the act of shooting. Obvious foul that wasnt called. There were 5-7 that went OSUs way like that throughout the game.
Kind of damned if she does, and damned if she doesn't, isn't she?
I thought the whole team was playing in a fog today. Just didn't seem like there was a lot of energy. Long season and teams will have games like this, and yet they still could have won.

Someone said Jan Jansen said in post game that 5 to 7 players had food poisoning / flu like symptoms before the game. That would explain a lot.
I’m willing to admit that CC plays up the drama a little too much.
Clark only had 3 assists today. Iowa's offense wasn't very smooth, even though they scored 83 points in regulation.
Yeah, I remembered wrong. 3 rebounds, not 3 assists. Iowa actually assisted on a high percentage of shots, while Ohio State had a lot of 1-on-1s and second chance points. Had Ohio State lost the game, the analysis would have been they didn't share the ball enough.
Ohio State wanted to beat Iowa so bad after the way we embarrassed them last year -- which was after we broke their undefeated record and served them up some humble pie on national TV. Six of our players were sick. Clark was visibly pallid -- I said it as soon as I turned the tv on. I said "Clark looks like shit" -- I was not surprised to hear that was more than just speculation. Despite all that, we were one free throw from winning. Went to overtime versus a team that has ALWAYS spanked us up until last year. Most (but not all observers) picked OSU to win the B1G, over Iowa.
Year in and year out, OSU recruits at a much higher level than we do and still does. But we have matched up well with them recently and had some big wins. We almost won this. We play them again at home and I'm hopeful for a different outcome with a healthy team. OSU is not likely to shoot like that again.
This is not a bad loss -- by any measure -- and we will continue to win games. Shit happens, they will lose and move on. Much better -- from an optics perspective as well as the NET -- to lose to OSU than Illinois or Nebraska. The team will be fine.
To be fair after Kelsey Mitchell graduated Ohio State was really down for a couple of years. I remember during one game at Columbus, Iowa had a 30-point lead early, and I said to myself perhaps Iowa should show a little mercy. But of course no spanking can compare to last year's Big Ten tournament final.
