Bright side to the loss

[okeefe4prez]

Last year, Louisville lost the Battle 4 Atlantis title game and then came back with a great NCAA tourney run. If that history repeats itself, this is a good loss.

Tough loss.... a learning experience. We learned Utoff and Jok are not ready to contribute at this level - right now. We also learned Olaseni needs to replace Woodbury in the starting line up

the bright side is nova paid off the refs and still had to go to OT.

Hopefully it toughens up some pretty soft areas on the team.

Shame to lose that one. Nova hit way too many threes that Iowa didn't step out on quick enough. They also shot way above their season average from three during the tournament. Utoff failed to block out on numerous occasions. Still don't think Gabe should start over Woody. Woody played decent tonight. Free throw misses ulimately cost Iowa this game.

It was the depth perception in that crap convention center.

It seems their record is a litle deceptive. IOW, they should not be ranked.

If Clemmons snaps his leg off, I will book my final four package.

Iowa should still move up in the polls despite the loss tonight. Nova will be ranked inside the top 20 for sure after this run.

Iowa should move up to 20th.

The officiating tonight was on par with 2006 outback bowl. Head ref should be fired.

That former NBA ref was unsure what to do when he saw defense being played.

I'm interested to see where Kansas gets ranked and what happens to our ranking. Villanova will be ranked, but I guarantee it won't be above Kansas who they just beat. But it will be above us. Rankings are stupid and forever will be this early in a season. I prefer us to not be ranked personally
