OSU called for one foul in final 8 minutes

Save it. Last game, this game, we take more foul shots. That's what really counts. Poor clutch defense, poor shooting, turnovers, you can't put all that on the refs.
Yeah and the botched call on the 3 pointer for OSU. But Ohio State was getting called for bumps and reach in and then it's like they apparently stopped doing that.
There's no officiating crew in the country that has the balls to call that actual foul late in the game when Uthoff got ran over. Not a single ref in the country could say with a straight face, "yeah I'd make that call."
Also stupid. And lazy.

I actually thought we caught a couple breaks. They completely blew the call on the three-pointer which I don't understand how they couldn't have over-turned looking at the video. And Ididn't really get the double foul on Woodbury/Thompson- Adam had his arm draped around the guy trying to get position although that one had no affect on the game but the 3-pointer could have. Can't blame the officiating when we piss away a game like we did that one.
True, but officiating has regressed back to where it was before the rule change. OSU was fouling nearly every possession, daring the refs to call it. Earlier in the year they were, now that it is February they are back to not calling it.
We would be in overtime right now if they called the foul when Uthoff got layed out.
But leave it to classless O$U to win like that.

No. Fran needs to teach his players how to handle adversity, instead of freak out and blow another end of season/game
This is what I figured would happen. It's usually what happens when big nam5ed schools stand a chance at getting into the tournament and making more money for the conference. Doesn't shock me at all. Is it wrong? Hell yes! We deserve to lose though, we lost the eye of the Tiger 3 weeks ago. Let's see if we can now get into the tournament and win at least 1.
Freak that...that was a mugging the last 10 minutes and the video proves it. Fran has had some crappy game lately and today was no different, but when you team is attacking, getting bumped, grabbed and handled, he needs to take one for the team.
It shouldn't come down to that foul call though. If we were playing with confidence and swagger like we were a few weeks ago, we would have blown them our by 20+.
Swagger and confidence doesn't put the ball through a flipping hoop. Being aloud to does and when your not, the fans have a legit beef.
Refs are bad ever gam period, but if you guys keep bitching you won't look any better than ISU fans
Have to adapt to the way the game is being called. I hate it when people blame the officials for a loss. The players/coaches have to learn to adapt to the way the game is being called. You can't complain about it, you have to make adjustments and fight through it. The sad thing is the last 2 games and the Big Ten Tournament are going to be officiated just like this. So Iowa has to adapt and start getting more physical.
JFC, you can't totally adapt to a way refs call a game. If they're calling touch fouls, yes you adapt and watch your hands. When the opponent can hit you and hold you and doesn't get called for a foul, you can't adapt. When the opponent can take an extra step or two and not get a traveling called, you can't adapt. When an opposing team constantly employs moving "illegal" screens it is difficult to play defense. Please tell me how a team can make adjustments to these scenarios? Regardless of what some may think, officials can and do decide the outcomes of games.
Same time frame Iowa got called for 3 fouls. Baer at the 6:26 mark, the double foul and Clemmons fouling with 1 second left. Nothing to see here.

Let me guess , a statistics major ( not necessarily a good one). Look at box score, make ignorant comment, check.
I attended the game today and there were a couple reasons we lost. Main reason, we didn't take the ball to the basket the last seven minutes. We were in the double bonus early and nobody attacked the basket. I don't think we got a free throw the last 7 minutes. We passed it around the perimeter and no one did anything with it, until Gesell was forced to get off the last second shot a couple times, and one other was a clock violation. Not the best option, but at least Gesell had the spunk spunk to attack. A couple unforced turnovers, and not securing a couple defensive rebounds during those last 7 minutes killed us. Once we let the crowd get into it, it was hard to hear...and I was in the high up.
Obviously you could have corrected my honest mistake. I only see a Baer foul at 6:26. Is that right?
Sorry, was not intending to point out factual error, have not checked. Was intended to point out that the argument can't always be made from the stats, only from actually watching what happened. Same old ploy as izzo, foul so much that they will quit calling them. It worked, so good plan I guess.
It's easy to see what teams do to Iowa but Clemmons and Woody where doing there fair share of fouling the last 8 minutes. OSU drove the ball a lot the last 8 minutes without any foul calls. The last 8 minutes where called consistently if you ask me. The Uthoff play at the end was the only thing that was bad to me. Not normally called in that situation though. Not sure why Fran didn't ask for a review there. Looked like he got hit in the face.
Iowa fans wouldn't be Iowa fans if they didn't blame officiating loss after loss, year after year. Competent officiating and our conference legacy would put Indie's to shame.
It's difficult to go on the road late in the season. Ask Pat Chambers how he felt about officiating today. If they are going to let the grab and hold be the standard we're going to struggle regardless where we play. It's who we are.
As frustrating as it is were going to miss these guys next year. It will be ugly. Whitey wouldn't let us lose down the stretch last year and our shared leadership this season means no leadership. It's in our heads now and I don't see a win in our future.
