Kick to nuts..........Numerous chances to just win outright were there....So damn proud though. Great momentum for the offseason!
Watched 2nd half of TN game last night.....

I watched last night too. Cook was a beast and feel like we slowed the pace down and got away from Cook a little too much in the latter part of the 2nd half
mark - I think there was a possession that we could have taken the lead on where Jbo turned it over on an out of control drive (uncharacteristic). Also not sure but the play where Cook got the ball stripped could have been a chance to tie or go up.

The buzzer beater 3 by Moss was pretty awesome as was the 3 by Jbo that set the crowd off (got them to within one possession?)
So, after watching it a second time, were the soft hand-check fouls called on Iowa that twice killed momentum by sending the game into a TV timeout as big of B.S. the second time around?
Had the ball 1 time with the chance to take the lead. Down 65-64 with over 3 minutes and result was a turnover. Subsequent possession was the bogus foul call on Cook as Turner went to the basket and just fumbled the ball out of bounds. Turner made 2, then Bohannon was the recipient of the make-up call on his 3-pointer. Tied the game, but Iowa never again had the chance to take the lead, unless they would have taken a 3 on the last possession when Wieskamp got fouled.
Would have been interesting had the foul not been called on Cook for Iowa to have another shot at taking the lead. If Iowa ever takes the lead in that game, likely a Hawkeye win.
The fact we didn’t have a missed play for the win in final seconds has made it easier to swallow. If our game had ended like UCF’s I’d be in a funk for awhile
Actually, comeback was made MUCH more difficult by missing so damn many free throws and front ends of one on ones in the first half.
Tennessee is 76% for the year on free throws, so not sure that fouling right away would have been a great strategy. In the game against Iowa, they were 19-23, or 83%.
Pretty sure I’ve never seen anyone give FTs on purpose with the game tied
Bohannons 3 off the kick out from Baer on Moss' missed FT cut it to 5.
That was the point where I first thought we may win the game.
Texted my brother the same thing. I'd rather the ball and game be in our hands for the last possession. Foul and take our chances.
Iowa has the ball after the Moss three with a chance to take the lead. That was the 35 foot three by JBo I believe.
Still trying to figure out how Cook got 2 FTs on the 2nd possession of 2nd half on drive as he was passing out to wing?
