Are all basketballs in every game of tournament the same? If so is it the ball the Hawkeye's play with?

Yes and no. Iowa uses a nike ball and I believe the tournament ball is Wilson.

 

[luvmyhawks]

Yes and no. Iowa uses a nike ball and I believe the tournament ball is Wilson.

well, that explains our recent results in the tourney.

 

[SSG T]

Appleby from FLA took a shot to the face, elbow to the nose/forehead from Aluma of VaTech.

Was on a pass, so no F1/2.

Have they been bad?

 

[IowaHawkeyeFBnBB4Life]

Of course Seth Davis has Iowa losing to Oregon. I’m not surprised.

 

[luvmyhawks]

Have they been bad?

Try to have a little fun once in awhile. It was a joke.

 

[LetsGoHawks83]

BS "flop warning" on Colgate... They STOPPED play for that, as Colgate had someone streaking down the floor.

They ended up hitting the 3. But don't like stopping the play for a "warning"

Colgate HEATING UP

 

[luvmyhawks]

Tech and Florida is a solid game. Colgate still being scrappy.

 

[Franisdaman]

Go Crest!

I mean, Go Colgate!!!

 

[Greenway4Prez]

Late to post this, but Colgate shooting FT’s the last 15:00 of the game MIGHT be something to keep an eye on....

 

[QChawks]

Holy shheeeeet

 

[longliveCS40]

This VTech/Florida game is bananas. Tied now with 1.4 seconds left.

 

[luvmyhawks]

March madness bitches!!!! Love it.

 

[Franisdaman]

Florida DOES NOT foul

VT ties it w/ a 3

[TheEnigma80]

March Madness is OFFICIALLY back!!!

 

[luvmyhawks]

On a sad note. looks like Illinois is going to hold on for the win.

 

[hawkeye_wx]

It drives me mad when a team has a 3-pt lead at the end and fails to foul.

 

[TheEnigma80]

Also looks like the Hogs are going to be scraping away that Plaque once and for all.

 

[2432Hawk]

That wasn't a foul on vatech guy

 

[desihawk]

It drives me mad when a team has a 3-pt lead at the end and fails to foul.

Rational but need to be confident in rebounding and FT abilities.

 

[QChawks]

Go Hokies

 

[StormHawk42]

On a sad note. looks like Illinois is going to hold on for the win.

Only thing that matters now is if they hit 82. Some folks might care about that.

 

[2432Hawk]

So much for principal of verticality....

Ok is it Pemsl time?

 

[83Hawk]

VT having foul trouble.

 

[denmar81]

42 fouls called so far in Florida- Va Tech game.
15 fouls so far in Illinois game

 

[83Hawk]

Officials putting the screws to VT.

 

[QChawks]

That should do it

 

[2432Hawk]

That was a good closeout by Pemsl

Just better offense

 

[83Hawk]

Ballgame Florida. Good game, though.

 

[longliveCS40]

Florida advances. So much for my perfect bracket.

 

[His Hawkness]

So how many garbage time stats does Ayo get today?

 

[luvmyhawks]

Florida advances. So much for my perfect bracket.

well, that didn’t take long.

 

[His Hawkness]

Trying hard to get Ayo another triple double.

 

[fivecardstud14]

It drives me mad when a team has a 3-pt lead at the end and fails to foul.

The math on fouling up three is nowhere near as settled as people think.

In college though, where players usually miss free throws in crunchtime, it's probably the correct play.

 

[cruhawk]

As long as officials will let cockburn lower his shoulder, throw an elbow, or go over the back, it'll be an uphill climb for ill opponents. His footspeed being average at best, he's often outmaneuvered by smaller & more agile opponents, but he gets away with it by re-establishing position....doing things that should be called fouls. If they start calling those, ill could be in for an early exit.

Seems like he's just a bum in your eyes.

Not a "bum", but not as good as people seem to think. Still waiting for an officiating crew to call an ill game the way the game of basketball is supposed to be called.
