*****OFFICIAL IOWA vs. psu Game Thread*****

Crunch time and no one to go to. Wheezy needs to learn to feed the post. Lack of depth and too many turnovers.

Court sucked.
 
Missed FT OPPORTUNITIES for shots by Conner, Joe T.

FTs for phantom fouls on Garza on consecutive trips.
Staying in 1/3/1 last 5 min was horrible coaching. I get we needed to play zone because of lack guard match up. But at least go to 2/3.
 
Blaming officiating is such a copout. Come on now.

Been watching since about the 10-minute mark and nothing regarding officiating has stood out to me

Lack of defense...zone is garbage for giving up offensive rebounds and 2nd shots. Gave up 89 points on road vs PSU and we gave up 100 pts to Michigan in previous road game.
 
This is a GREAT question. And he was fouled when the defender had the advantage.

Youre damned if you do and damned if you don’t. But I’m sure your coaching expertise, having watched all 10 minutes of this game, knew that.
 
Not sure why we fouled late in the game in the press. That was just dumb. Shot clock was down to 28 and they were still way in their own end. Bardo didn’t understand it either. Good chance for a 10 second call and we foul a guy who is 100%.
 
Did you try watching with your eyes open?

Love the guy who watched 25% of the game, but knows the whole story.
What I do know is that Iowa had a lead for several minutes in the last 10 sooo I certainly wouldn't blame the loss on the officiating.

Saw a TON of missed free throws and some bad defense. I saw Touissant pass the ball to Garza when he had a CLEAN layup from right under the basket - Garza fouled and missed both.
 
Joe T with 18 points was a big bright spot. Connor had 1 3pt fg...take that away and only 4 guys scored in the game.

Bakari/JoeT/Pemsl/Connor don't give you a lot of scoring so losing Fredrick is big. Still, offense is not the problem....getting stops is the problem.

Agree. Terrible effort today. Not gonna win many games if they continue to play like this.

Not sure I see the correlation between Iowa leading and not blaming the game on the officials.

I don’t necessarily blame the game on the officials, but fans would have even less of a case if Iowa was losing or getting killed the entire game
 
We win this game by 10 if CJ plays second half, just for his defense alone.

Their bench wing wouldn’t have had 23.

But...to play as well as they did, shorthanded, on the road against a solid team...should be a fun year.

CJ played the 1st half and we were down at the 1/2. I agree losing CJ was a problem, but he was a non-factor in 1st half anyway. If we had a healthy CJ for full game, maybe a win, but still would be very close.
 
Up 6 and I thought Wieskamp took a bad shot out of a timeout and things swung from there when they came down and hit a three.
 
I am more of a ledger than I want to be, but some of you guys are out of control. This was a hard fought, tough road game while losing a key piece. Breaks didn’t go our way. As long as CJF is okay all signs still pointing up.
