Michigan is not a top team this year. They were 13-10 coming in and played with way more urgency than Iowa until three minutes left. Disappointing

JoBo should have kept on going unless he heard a whistle. That much is true.
Yep, terrible decision.
He was already past the defender.
You don't do that shit unless they're infront of you and their arm is across your body.
People making excuses for that awful decision don't know what they're talking about.
You do not try that when you are past the defender.
Painful loss. Now Hawks got a tough road to make the tournament.
Meh he had a bad stretch but was cramping. We lost the game due to bad guard play, bad defense, and not getting out in transition more.
Sure they do. It works less in the NBA because players are generally better free throw shooter. That Jones guy split two free throws twice. It could’ve been a tie game
I think this is a strong possibility. We’re a much better match up. Unfortunately, pressure is now on us to steal one on the road against a good team.
I don't think they were giving the 2.
Keegan had a good shot.
I have a bigger problem with letting that Michigan Freshman go 10-12 or whatever he shot.
Uhh, right now they are. They’ve always had the talent, but now they’ve put it together. I could see them winning the Big tournament.
Where did I suggest that that play was the reason we lost? All I said was that I didn’t like the play
Except for the Rutgers game.
Bad stretch where we went from being tied to down 10 in a matter of a minute. That was the game. But yeah, obviously plenty of other factors that played into us losing. I HATE the fact we play without urgency until we’re losing at the end. Should be playing that way all the time, as that is our strength
Why did you have to bring that up. Almost forgot about how that went down. Effing BS
They couldn’t execute the basics numerous times when it mattered most and had the chance to take some control, and they don’t seem to match the effort and focus against the better teams for an entire game and subsequently lose. I’m not too optimistic about the upcoming games against teams with a pulse.
Agree on the free throw shooting. It's still banking on a missed free throw and then another bucket on offense. Much more difficult to get that second bucket against a set defense that isn't giving up the lane.
Unless there is huge improvement with the post players and guard play, this team will be about the same weather or not Keegan comes back.
Why did you respond to my post discussing one play telling me why we lost the game?
But why is it THIS game that is deemed “the one”? Why not the earlier losses to Illinois? Purdue? Or the one coming to Wisconsin? Or road at Iowa State?
- Missed FTs.
- Missed dunks.
- Doubling Dickinson, allowing kick outs for open 3s or re-entry passes for 2 points and/or a foul drawn.
- Giving up a ton of paint points, mostly on dribble drives.
Just so much slop and lack of effort in this game. So disappointing, yet so Iowa.

Agreed, he looks like he had a shot at a tough but decent look. A couple boys in front of him and about 2.5 seconds. 2 more dribbles and a long three.
At least now I don't have to worry about picking Iowa to lose when making out my NCAA brackets. Not going to happen this year but then most on here expected Iowa to miss the tournament anyway.
Fran's coaching just cemented your preseason predictions. You can always count on Fran losing games they should win. Happens every year....

Afraid this game as well as the Rutgers and PSU games are going to come back and haunt this team. Three very winnable games lost.
Its also a reflection of who's in the game.
Fran keeps the better defenders on the bench more often than not.
Wasn't the right move today. Thats for sure.
Well this one is in the present but I'd also say this is a more winnable game than the losses to Illinois, Purdue, and Iowa State on the road. Any home losses aren't good but one to a team with your same conference record and a much lower NET ranking hurts.
This is not a tournament team and they proved it tonight. Fran demonstrated once again that he should be coaching in the mid-majors. Ulis, Joe T, and Perkins are not good. Do we have a new metric for Connor to say he is leading the conference in passing yardage? He has a good arm. Maybe get him in the mix for the QB competition?
Besides JBo is the only person in the world who thinks he is a threat shooting from 50 feet out.
Michigan is okay. I don't see them beating Purdue or Illinois in B1G tourney.
Mousa Diabate was averaging 8.7 ppg before he put up 12/15 and 28pts vs Iowa. Josh gave us some decent minutes in 1st half, should have played some in 2nd half when Michigan scored on 15/20 possessions or whatever that stat was.
Very disappointing loss. I tried to refrain from commenting but this is typical of Fraud McCaffery's tenure. Schedule several cupcake opponents to start the season and pad the win column to appease Barta. There is arguably no good win on the Hawks schedule all year. Give him another raise.
Thats why you have to attack Dickinson on offense.
It gets pointed out by the announcers all the time but it doesn't seem to register with the coaches.
Kris picking up multiple stupid fouls is an overlooked factor in the loss.
Iowa is always at its best with Kris at the 5 where the opposing big has to play out of the paint.
