*****Official Indiana at Iowa Game Thread*****

Not often 9 fouls on Iowa and 6 on opponent with Garza on offense a huge mismatch and playing zone. Lot of gift calls to Indiana. Not a great 1st half. Maybe JBo or Fredrick will make some shots in 2nd half. Can't rely on 2 guys to score nearly all the points.
Refs allowing hand checking out to half court. IN got away with a lot in the first half. Iowa needs to be more aggressive in the second half.
"Nope that didn't work" *picks 5 new names out of the hat*
I saw nothing on that foul call and I've played it back 4 times. Horrible call. I swear Joe T gets no breaks from the officials.
unbiased viewer here (Clemson fan), is it just me or are the Hawkeyes getting bent over by the ref$?
We need to play better in the second half or we lose this game. We just don't look sharp and focused.
joeT trying to make things happen on defense and refs not letting him get away with much. He did draw a illegal pick call. Keegan quiet. Nunge okay but quiet. JBo 0 for game.
JBO has to heat up and blow these guys away in the 2ndhalf
We don’t get the home court advantage that most top 10 teams seem to get, that’s for sure.
I’ve rewatched that foul 5 times. The angle isn’t great but from the angle we have it was a complete garbage foul. And I would say we have some fouls coming our way.
So many times when he tries to create on the dribble our guys are standing around in his way, or haven't moved enough to get their defenders out of his way, either.
That's not on him....
However, something he ABSOLUTELY needs to start doing by next year is taking the wide open outside shots (with confidence).
There was a chance off a good ball reversal where Joe was wide open at the top of the key, but hesitated, then started to drive and be unselfish and fired a laser pass to Patrick, who got blocked......
Just shoot the ball, Joe.
It might have been a foul, it just hadn't been for the first 19 minutes and 57 seconds of the game.
Well, the bad news is this appears to be the worst 3-pt shooting % since the Gonzaga game, and on largely uncontested shots. The good news being they're up 6 in spite of the horrid 3-pt shooting. They'll start hitting these in the second half if they keep getting these open looks.
Great Post! I don't think Iowa got much home cooking but they do need to play better.
Nebraska game from last year says 3pt shooting can get even worse. Jbo shots haven't missed by much. Garza's 3pt shots were way off. Connor made 1 and then did heat check. If 3pt shooting doesn't turn around, need Garza to go off 20pts in 2nd half.
Garza also not getting the calls a "leading candidate for player of the year" should be getting. Garza is constantly taking MUCH more contact than the touch fouls called on the Hawkeye's. It's a shame, Iowa is one of my fav teams to watch, I still don't think IU wins, but still...wtf.
While that narrative rings true a lot...this wouldn’t be the game that where I would make that observation.
Indiana isn’t great offensively, but we’re on pace to hold them below their average and they shot 39% first half.
ouch... Fredrick hasn't been Fredrick for last 4-5 games. He should have been in boot last couple weeks and would have missed only 2 games.
