Agree there is no conspiracy but wrong time to make the argument after a Msu player just hopped around on 1 foot and no travel called.

Would like to see him continue with holding his hands straight up all through the timeout and the BS freethrows..... but that would do him no favors with the officials down the road
LOL at posters saying officiating has, up to this point, has caused IA to be losing by 13.
LOL at posters thinking that there isn't a bias by the conference that is socialized and understood by the officials to get B1G bubble teams (e.g. MN and MSU in the last tow games) into the NCAA tourney.
It's okay, IA will be in the NIT this year and in the big dance in the next few years.
Again, officials did NOT impact this game tonight in a meaningful way. Now MN is quite another matter...

Can't disagree, but I'll continue to complain about bad or missed calls. Just the way it is
This. I have seen nothing other than poor play from Iowa as a reason for this loss.
That was a weak call on Baer on the "left arm" gaining an advantage.
Equally weak rationalization by Crispin.

Rinse and repeat. Ugh those two 2OT loses sting! Have to at least split those

Cook needs to look at Mile Bridges statline for rebounds and blocked shots.
All ball! (I will conceed that Jok got the benefit of the doubt with 3 fts, that looked like a common foul on the floor)
Me too.... just starting to get old saying that. Would have been easier to stomach, if the got that W at MN
He rebounds and blocks shots. I see our Bigs becoming better at rebounding, but they aren't good right now. No shot blocking.. Baer trap is our best rim protector.
Yeah, it happens. Too bad the games we did play well on the road, we blew chances to close vs Nebraska and Minny.
For some reason, rim protector makes me chuckle every time I read it. I know. Grow up.
Quit bitching about officiating. There will always be a few calls, but this was nothing like MN game that had some serious issues. The problem tonight was the same thing that has beaten many times this year. Lack of defense and terrible rebounding. Our FT shooting has also been suspect this year and tonight felt like one of the worst, maybe final stats will show differently. Our three game win streak came against weak teams and these team weaknesses were covered up by the bad teams from the bottom half of the conference. Hopefully a week off will help us get our legs back so the energy returns to overcome the weaknesses since they will not get fixed before end of year, that is the reality of the season.
