Playing so tentatively. Very ugly. Why is White not on the baseline vs zone?

Whats up with all the turnovers. i can only follow the ESPN gamecast. Is it full court pressure? Poor passes? Too much length for our PGs to handle?
This is exactly the game we didn't want. Not shooting very well, not moving very well and PSU is staying close. We are going to have to pick up the pace and Jok, Uthoff and White better get going.
Not able to watch, but everyone knows that Iowa struggles against physical situations so play the game until they call it. Call it good coaching by PSU to keep themselves in the game.
And now it sounds like we are struggling against the zone. Shame on Fran for not having that figured out. NW gave us two good opportunities to practice against that defense

You do not get easy shots when mugged or hacked then you have the tendency to take bad shots. Percentage goes down.
Iowa is dealing with how the game is being called really well, staying physical on the defensive end to match. Mighty good defense their by Uthoff to end the half. If the guards start hitting a few shots and that will be ballgame.
White and Uthoff have 21 of the 27 points? Is that correct? It would be nice if others would show up today.
It's just Penn States philosophy for this game be physical and more physical. They could easily have twice as many fouls as they do. Refs are not going to call all of the fouls.
It worked for the most part. Our shooting down and turnovers galore. I'm proud the Hawks have played good D which gave us the lead. Just keep the TO's down.

It was good to see us make a run there in the last couple minutes before half to stretch the lead. Clemmons and Gessell have been pretty terrible handling the ball today. Hopefully they both pick it up in the second half. Olaseni has bobbled several passes that were right in his hands, too. Just don't look very sharp all around so far.
Gotta keep Newbill in check in the second half. If Hawks keep playing same type of defense, we'll win.

The best thing I can say about that half was PSU will eventually run out of players or gas in the tank, officiating dependent.
This is true, those disgusting Fuskers were speaking about this just a couple of days ago when they played PSU. Penn State is the reason this game looks so ugly. The refs of course aren't helping though.
Why? Do you think that teams foul evenly and style of play has no role in amount of fouls called?
Man, you are dumb as hell about basketball for someone from indiana. Teams that drive and feed the bigs a lot in the post are going to get to the line more often no matter what. Good luck in the NIT, by the way.

I'm saying the sentiment
No, I'm saying the sentiment on here seems to be that the officials are letting it get physical and aren't calling enough fouls. I would argue that this has benefited Iowa more than PSU. PSU could have a beef on a couple non-fouls called around the rim. Iowa plays aggressively on D as well and has gotten by with it relatively well so far.
