Swept by Nebraska, awful. F'ed the pooch. 14 more shots, four less makes. Outrebounded them and had 10 fewer turnovers.

Fran defense....no one could guard griesel one on one. Iowa last in B1G in 2pt FG defense and will finish either 13th or last in 3pt FG defense.

You don't win very often giving up 58.5% from the field and 53.8% from 3pt line to your opponent.
 
You have to laugh. Pretty much the story of the Big this year. Little to no difference in teams 2-13. Going to be a wild BTT.

Yep people say we lost because of poor shooting but you have to account for the defensive end atleast a few times during the year

Not for nothing, but Nebraska had more than a couple gross shots go down. Fran counts on sheer volume to overwhelm opponents helping to negate opponent makes. Today was a lethal mix of bad luck and untimely poor shooting.
 
Conversely if the Fuskers don’t have 15 turnovers we might lose by 10
i see what you're saying, but subtracting turnovers for them doesn't necessarily mean more points for them ...and why exactly would you subtract all of their TOs? I'm not saying Iowa should shoot 100%, so not sure where you're going with that?

Just pointing out they lost scoring opportunities by turning the ball over. Would they have scored,,,,seemed about a 50/50 chance the way we defend at times. Maybe subtract half those turnovers and they score 10 more points. There are a lot of things that can make a 5-10 point swing in a game.

Lot of 'if's" in every game that can change the outcome.

It does when you're paying against Iowa's defense
