Nooooooooo, why just why did you have to do it!!!! Exactly why did you have to bring that game up
Watching it, since nothing good is on. I was almost 10 years old that day, still remember going outside to play ball when Iowa was up18, coming back in the house for the final minuteNooooooooo, why just why did you have to do it!!!! Exactly why did you have to bring that game up
Watch some reruns of something else please, I'm still traumatized from that game. I remember I chucked a shoe at the wall as the damn thing was ending. You know how to ruin a guys night
Many would rather get Corona that watch that again.
I remember going outside in Ankeny after that game, it was a very nice Sunday afternoon and up and down the street people came out of their house screaming and needed fresh air.
surreal.

Still, Iowa was down by only 1 with 22 seconds to play - with the ball. Only a bad pass to Lohaus prevented Iowa from retaking the lead.

That's why you need a coach that knows time and space. There was no need for Davis to push the team to go balls out and attempt shots at a record pace when up 18 in the second half. UNLV knew Iowa would not slow down it's offensive and it ended up biting the Hawks in the a$$. We had a veteran team that crapped in it's pants.
A stain that will never come out.....

Kevin Gamble's shot in the semi final against OK is probably my favorite moment of Hawkeye fandom. The second half of the UNLV game was my least favorite.
It's too bad, I loved watching UNLV under Tark and hated seeing them end up matched up against Iowa.

Wasn't it an attempted feed that ended up a bullet hitting the rim or bottom of the backboard?
So you’re to blame - stop watching at halftime because we’re so far ahead? YOU jinxed them
I know you were only 10, so really I should blame your parents for not bringing you back inside once the lead began to shrink.
That's what I recall. The pass was on target but too hot.
Interestingly, those two guys were later teammates again on the Celtics.
Don’t think I didn’t take blame upon myself then, superstitious as I was thenSo you’re to blame - stop watching at halftime because we’re so far ahead? YOU jinxed them
Gambles shot again Oklahoma was indeed awesome and probably my all time favorite also
We think that was a great team and it may have been but watching some of those old games reminds me of how undisciplined Davis coached teams could be. High turnover ratios and that mostly awful press that resulted in more layups than steals. Prove me wrong...
