So Iowa was involved in TWO of the three wins. Once on the losing end and once in the winning side? That's crazy.
and they won going away....... except for a couple foolish late fouls, Hawks would have won by double digits.
That trap press in the 2nd half gave the Boilers all kinds of trouble.

The late fouls seemed more a product of the officials leaving it all on the floor in pursuit of a Purdue victory than real lapses by the Hawks. Remember in the eyes of most of the basketball world Iowa out smarting, out hustling and out shooting a more important program does not mean Iowa is supposed to win.
Per ESPN, our 19 comeback victory doesn't even merit a headline, but MSU at Minny and MD at Nw are more important (eyes roll)...
The Chuckleheads at ESPN now HAVE to report on IOWA, as we're going to be ranked for
a Long, long time!
The officiating in the last 8 minutes was awful. I don't know how we managed to win that game when so many bogus calls were made during crunch time. This team is getting tougher right before our eyes.
This is correct. Initially I thought it fit the category but, Niang hit a 3 on a second chance and someone hit 2 free throws.
