oh you mean like way after the ball was already released......and that little touch foul...they going to call that and let Iowa get beat on....whatever it was a horse shit call period!
That couldn't have gone much worse.
The upside is that we have to shoot better in the second half. Maybe they'll settle down in the second half...

1-13 from three, 10-33 from the field. Iowa would be losing to a 16 seed right now. The only reason why Iowa is only losing by 1 is because Richmond is shooting like crap and can’t rebound.
This is exactly how you lose a 1st round game....no one can make 3pt shots, keegan has an off game, and you let these guys hang around long enough that they get confidence. Hate to say it, but this is a 50/50 game
We played so bad that the halftime panel is struggling to find something to say.
The rim sounds very loose, which always helps the shooter....something weird is going on.
Yeah you can’t hit the arm after the ball is released. It was the right call
Tony needs to step it up in the 2nd like he did in the BTT.
Complaining about the officating is funny. Yes. There were some bad calls but goodness. We have made 10 baskets! 10!

Wish I could make a joke that Iowa was just 'playing dead' in that 1st half and setting up Providence on Saturday, and Chicago opponents next week, but man that was just an absolutely ugly half. Only thing they did fairly well was rebounding. (and thank God they are undefeated [so far] in games that they win the rebounding battle)
Fran better be peeling the paint off the locker room walls with fire, to wake his squad up.

Feels like one where Richmond will hit back to back threes around the 5 minute mark and completely take the wind out of the sails.
Fran?
Iowa is 1-13 from 3. That’s the story, not coaching. Geez, you guys are really reaching here
Bad thing with letting a team like Richmond in this long is they now believe they belong and will likely hang around until the end.
Iowa still favored by 5.5 according to the Sportsbook’s. They just need to calm down and hit a few shots
I’ve noticed richmond doesn’t even attempt to offensive rebound. Get back and set up the D to slow us down and its working so far. We need to force some turnovers
If they come out looking like this in 2nd half, I would immediately put in Josh O. Not joking. This team looks DEAD, no enthusiasm. Whenever Josh O is in he seems to energize everyone.
Rebraca is has probably been our best player in 1st half but get Josh in there if things don't turn around.

Well that half was so poor we succeeded in getting the announcers to declare Iowa was lucky to win the BTT on a broken play bank shot. Fvckers falling off the bandwagon...
Yeah, thought this team was different. I don’t think Richmond is really that great either…
Officiating has been on par with the regular season. I was hoping for better, but that’s on me.
Is a foul after the ball has been release and then he touches his elbow ?
Iowa energy/intensity level looks very similar to Rutgers, but at leats Rutgers was playing a decent team. Iowa looks like they are scared sh******.
I’d like to see full court, Tom Davis style press. Force them into a running game and let the chips fall. But letting Richmond dictate the tempo won’t work.
I doubt it....he got the ball and not much time and he probably was wondering if he still had a hot hand unlike his teammates....and he didn't.
PMAC and JBO played the worse. Jbo falls twice, bricks two wide open shots. PMac shot selections gets worse he longer he plays...the one tie he is 4 feet from the basket and facing straight up and 2 seconds on shot clock, he throws it out to a guarded JBO.
Too bad Sandfort rushed his 1st shot and got off to bad start. Team really needed his 3pt shooting today.
Kris of course is favororite guy for refs to call fouls on. Neutred by the refs.
They better create some turnovers in 2nd half or this will go down as Epic loss, most embarrassing loss
of all time.
Officiating is the least of Iowa's problems.
I am drinking a beer and it has not helped.
In contemporary basketball, it's common to see a team--a good team--score in the 20s in one half and the 40s or 50s the next. This first half today is just one more of hundreds of examples.
Michigan was down by 15 at one time today and won by 12.
Richmond's defense has been nothing great, certainly nothing Iowa hasn't seen before. Most of Iowa's shots have been open. They're simply missing. It's more than likely Iowa heats up big time in the second half and rolls to an easy win. Do that and nobody will remember this ugly first half.
BTW: Always a good idea to play NCAA games in a hockey arena. Keegan and JBo have gone down for the first times all season, and Keegan nearly turned an ankle. But at least Joe T was staying on his feet.
