Hard to find any praise for Iowa on ESPN right now. Apparently Iowa made a “desperation three“ and that we “shocked“ Indiana.

regardless, the victory was on national TV with millions watching no doubt, and tomorrow will have an even bigger audience.

I’m just not sure how the team ranked as Iowa is and playing like Iowa is was in a desperate situation and somehow shocked the Hoosiers.

the game was tied. Worst case it goes to OT.

Indiana is one of the darlings of college basketball even though they haven't won a title since 1987. I think it's about as simple as that.

Yeah I don’t really get that. They haven’t done anything of significance in decades. The CBS announcers were completely homers. I regret not turning on Gary and Bobby.

But I know when I’m gonna get from them, so that’s why I’m interested in how the national press is being forced to warm to Iowa because Iowa is freaking good. And they are so fun to watch.
 
Clark Kellogg said that Indiana "controlled" the game for 36 minutes. Irritated me.

if he had said Indiana led the game for 36 minutes, would that be much different really? I’m sure most Indiana fans truly believe Clark is right.

If they did lead for that amount of time, just say so. Don't act like they dominated us. Agree on the Indy fans though.
 
I'm writing a scathing letter listing out all of our grievances as of this moment. I am planning on sending it out to the Big Ten, CBS and ESPN. So far I've got the following:

1) Broadcast was one-sided.
2) Referees were biased.
3) The crowd was too partisan. (We have issues with location)
4) Not getting sufficient credit for win on post-game reporting. (JBo's 30ft bank shot called lucky)
5) General lack of respect from everyone who isn't a Hawk fan.

If I'm missing anything please let me know and I will add to the list. This is going to really light a fire under these people.

I dunno, over the last couple of weeks I have heard a lot of praise for Keegan and Iowa. Today may have been a little one-sided, but someone (Raftery) did compare Keegan to Grant Hill.

What deserves no attention is you and your posts.

I really don’t care for Raftery doing games but not a big deal. He tries to get his little schtick quotes in too often and doesn’t add much but that’s probably just me—report the game don’t try and replace it.
I didn’t get to watch all of it but how many times did he say Patrick “has got game”?
