Big Ten Champions last year. Wtf are you talking about? Who gives a shit about regular season. It’s skewed anyway. Unless you play every team home and home. you’re a champion with a *!
Refs cost us at least 4 points
- Thread starter Franisdaman
- Start date
Are you supposed to back off an offensive player right under the basket to not be in the cylinder?
Can't make this shit up.
I think he means the real ones.
I’ve seen more air between two people at a middle school dance. Was he trying to play swords?
If you’re in my space expect to eat elbow.
And Wiscy only know yo play football on the BB court. Same ol crap show with them. Every high pick was a rolling block of the defender.
Yes, my bad Fran or whatever your name is. Winning 4 games in 4 days is defiantly a greater accomplishment then finishing at the top of the 20 game regular season of Big Ten Basketball. I guess that's why Iowa got that 6th seed in last years tournament and Illinois and Wisconsin got higher seeds being co-champions of the Big Ten. What a travesty!Can't make this shit up.
But he wasn’t in the cylinder. Rebraca was straight up and down.
I read Fran’s lips. He said “that’s awful” twice. Does that deserve a T?
Iowa was the 5 seed in the B1G Tournament and in the NCAA Tournament.
Boy, you are mistaken on a lot of things. Even simple facts.
Wisconsin had 4 fouls in the second half with 4 mins to play. For how ‘physical’ Wisconsin plays, that number was far too low.
I despise Wisconsin’s brand of basketball. I’m not sure why anyone would want to play that style. It appears Wahl learned a thing or two from Davidson regarding on how to cheat. Wisconsin is full of those pud whackers. Do they teach dirty play at Wisconsin?
Can't make this shit up.
Stop. A big ten tournament championship does not compare to a regular season conference championship .
That’s a real one. How is the National title decided? The ‘real’ way of finishing with the best reg season record or a tournament? As Steve Waite posted, schedules are unbalanced so comparing records to determine a champion is ridiculous. The only champion is the tourney champion.
actually, that didn't meet the criteria of a hook/hold. Connor tried to fight through a pick which caused him to reroute the player he was covering and he extended his arm. The calling official ruled the illegal contact by Connor and knew instantly this didn't fly under the interpretation of hook/hold and the crew would not have reviewed unless 1 of the crew members had a different angle and definite information or a Coach insisted on risking a timeout to do such.. Only because it was a dead ball and Connor talked his Dad into it did it proceed.

And the explanation for why it wasn’t called a flag 1 Lol wtf. I don’t give a shit if his intention was to go over rebracas head, he threw an elbow right into his chin.
Why are you on this board? Go gloat on your own board. We dont need your commentary.
you are correct that the O post player tried to back him down(and he did so legally) however once stopped IF there is an attempt by that player to make a normal basketball move such as a pass, the defender then fits in and the definition of a cylinder violation. It's unfortunate but the rule. So this crew cannot blow a whistle after the fact but during a review there are certain plays which they can change foul calls. This is one. Rebraca did nothing wrong other than by rule he violated the cylinder rule so when he took one in the chin the crew has 2 choices and thus the discussion lasting a while. 1) based on the ruling they would have HAD to call a cylinder foul by rule because it can't be an F1 unless intentional OR 2) they call a common foul and it saves the crew from having to toss Fran. This was a decision that did no harm to either team and a good choice.

What dirty play? You people are delusional. Go back to eye pokes. You were good at that.
Yeah, I'll admit I was wrong with Iowa's seeding in last years tournament, and it probably ended up as a reason Iowa lost in the first round of the NCAA tournament. Winning the four day Big Ten Tournament at the end of the season was super exciting but it's pale to winning the regular season title. If that event ends up as Fran's greatest achievement at Iowa, in my mind it only ranks him slightly ahead of Stevie Alford's accomplishments which is nothing to brag about. I can only hope next years recruited players can add to an Iowa roster that can end that 44 year drought of not winning the BIG TEN REGULAR SEASON CHAMPIONSHIP!
It's not going to be this year....

As per usual in b10 play we got two differently officiated halves. Wisconsin had multiple guys in foul trouble in the first half, and then tk somehow only have 4 fouls deep into the 2nd half in the rugged b10 is absurd.
I also liked how the Wisconsin player initiated contact. Didn’t really think it was a hook and hold but for how the 2nd half was officiated that was a soft fouls.
A regular season title would be nice but honestly it doesn’t mean as much to me anymore with the unbalanced schedule. 20 game marathon, with the right home and homes, right home/road splits matters more for that. It meant more when it was a true round Robin.
You are a Fran apologist!! What a great coach to take a MAC (or is it YMCA) team and take Wisconsin to OT.....wow, you really think highly of Fran's coaching.
I didn’t even think the refs were that bad
Wisconsin beat us because they have size on the Hawks and we couldn’t make up for it with our shooting. Crowl and Wahl got points all day in the paint because they’re bigger than Connor and Filip. On the other hand, Iowa shot a ton of terrible threes, and Sandfort was the worst offender of all. He needs to start taking better shots within the flow of the offense instead of just jacking em up. He did have a few good looks that he needs to take - the floater on the out of bounds play, the corner three of Connor’s baseline feed, and the pull-up in the second half - more of those and less hoisting with guys in his face

Crowl is 7’ but Wahl is only 6’9” so no they didn’t have a tremendous size advantage on Iowa.
As is usual with b10 officiating, what irritates me is the lack of consistency. They called a tight game, albeit with several soft calls both ways in the first half (as mentioned above, Wisconsin had major foul trouble), but in the 2nd half they swallowed their whistles, with neither team getting into the bonus until deep in the second half. Fran got mad because they had a stretch where they were letting contact go on Wisconsin guards but then called touch fouls on Perkins or other Iowa guards - I mentioned before even the announcers mentioned several times during the game that on multiple occasions they didn’t think something was much to call a foul for; both ways.
