When is the last time Iowa hit a game winner?

I can't even think of the last time and I can remember numerous times when Iowa has lost on a last second shot.
 
Maybe I am remembering incorrectly, but didn't Uthoff hit a shot to take it to OT against Northwestern last year? We then lost in OT.
 
Think how different the story would read had we won even half of the games we choked away over the past 3 seasons. We'd be talking about the program in a completely different positive light.

What bugs me the most is we're not even getting a shot at the game winner. With 15 seconds left, our ball and down by two, we didn't even get an attempt...that sucks.

We need to get the ball in Uthoff's hands. He's our All-American and we need to feed him the ball in that situation. Fran keeps going to the same guy and expecting a different result. If Uthoff takes a shot and misses, it stinks, but I can live with that.

I was saying this to a friend...think of all the games decided by a few possessions and think of all of the scoring droughts we've had. It really is night and day. That sort of trend will sink a coach.
 
that might be the one legitimate criticism of Fran I have read. In every league everywhere in basketball you make sure your best player has the ball in his hands for the last shot.

In other words Uthof.

Yet 2 games ago we drew up and executed 2 chances beautifully.....just didn't make the shots.

The Indiana game mike had fouled out and was sitting on the bench at the end of the game
 
I am too lazy to research it, but I would bet you could count on a couple of fingers how many times Iowa even scored on the last possession of a half. Certainly those times when MG touched the ball.
