Joe Wieskamp had a defensive rebound with 10:20 left in the game, Michigan winning 74-63. That was Iowa's last defensive rebound of the game.
No defensive rebounds in the last 10:20

I knew we were having a bad night on the boards but that stat makes it worse then I thought it was. Can't win games with a performance like that. That was the most points scored in a B1G game since 1998.
Didn’t watch the second half. Does this mean Michigan scored on every possession, or did we at least get some TOs?
A couple of turnovers, but there was only 5 rebound opportunities on our defensive end in the last 10:20 and Michigan got all 5. I’m not sure which stat is worse, but together that is very sad.
Holy crap! Only 5 defensive rebound opportunities in the 1/4 of the game??
How is that even possible???
Captain obvious, but the opponent has to miss for a defensive rebound opportunity. Iowa's defense down the stretch went from bad to not really trying.
#23 for Michigan was out hustling Iowa players. Getting offensive rebounds. Michigan didn’t miss often
Garza had great night on offense but his defense and rebounding were mediocre. He wasn’t alone in that category

It's easy. Don't block out. Iowa, under Fran, has never been a fundamentally sound defensive team, and the constant failure to block out is mind-boggling and so frustrating. A couple of times in those last 10 minutes last night Iowa had 2, 3, or even 4 guys standing around waiting for the rebound, but no one blocked out, so ONE Michigan guy stepped in and took the ball away. Even if Fran can't teach it, you'd think the guys would figure it out on their own. Blocking out isn't difficult. We drilled on that over and over in 7th grade.
We had a drill where the coach shot and missed and NO ONE was to go for the ball. We were just supposed to block out so the ball would fall to the floor. And now, a few years later, even at my age, I play against high school kids and young adults and regardless of how much height advantage they might have on me, when the ball goes up, I block out. To see Iowa play so well in so many ways only to give up crucial rebounds over and over season after season is maddening.
I've said it before: Fran should bring in Dr. Tom to teach rebounding. Or somebody. That simple fundamental alone could well have turned last night's effort into a win...last night and dozens of other games under Fran's watch.
Blocking out is one of the simplest techniques in all of sports. That the Hawkeyes have failed at it for ten years is just inexcusable.
We are not a good rebounding team period, but, in zone we are unbelievably bad.
No, but there were several where they got 2 or 3 offensive boards, and multiple chances to score.
It's hard to block out in zone. Because there isn't usually a guy next to you.
So you're left standing there while the opponent takes a running start twoards the basket.
One of the many reasons most teams don't zone.
I saw one instance where RK went for a defensive board and the opposing player got the rebound instead not once but twice, and they ended up scoring as the possession was kept alive.
Poor positioning/not blocking out, or maybe afraid of committing a foul? Just an observation. Yes, I agree with you.
Yep. As a kid growing up in Peoria three things made me an Iowa fan, well, four actually. Actually, five:
- Lou Henson looked dorky.
- Those black/yellow Nike Dunks
- The way that Iowa rebounded at both ends.
- Ed Horton
- George Raveling strolling to the floor in his sweatsuit.
I’ve been desperate for that type of rebounding emphasis and dominance for now 20 years or so.
Finesse, clever offense, gimmicky defense just don’t feel “Iowa” to me. The Iowa Basketball brand seems kind of soulless since Raveling and Dr. Tom.
