Remember UNI in 2009?

There is a difference between not liking someone and not liking their actions. Do I really have to explain the difference? Also, the officials did not make or force 3 of our coaches/players lose their cool. The COACHES AND PLAYERS lost their cool.

Blaming the refs is for losers!! We have definitely hit rock bottom if we think 4 technical fouls (or whetever it was) is acceptable. There are other more effective ways to motivate players. This team can either be bad and fight back or be bad and cry about it. Blaming the refs is the later.

Okay, let's see if this bonds this team together as you all think it will. Time will tell I guess.... I'm not holding my breath though! If it works, doesn't seem very classy to me.

AGREED!!! At least there is one other person on this board who thinks that yelling at the refs and getting t'd up is NOT the way this program is going to turn things around.

I'm not saying there weren't bad calls on the Hawks. I believe those of you that were able to watch the game when you say there were bad calls against the Hawks. My point is that Iowa can't control what the refs call! But they can control their reaction and how they play through it. I was...

Okay, you've converted me. Thanks for helping me see the light. The refs lost the game for us tonight. Case closed.

So, you think Iowa's meltdown was proved helpful in trying to win this game? Interesting...

Wow!!!! I think you all have found the formula to winning!! Congratulations!! I think I'll call into Fran next time I have a chance and give him this advice... Everytime the officials start making some bad calls, I think the whole team should get technical fouls and pout around. That will be...

The point is, it doesn't matter how bad the calls are! I don't need to see the game. All I know is we responded poorly to adversity.

I'm not sure you've ever played sports before, but teams with character focus on what they can control, not what the refs do! When you start complaining about the refs, you have stopped playing basketball. You must play through it! Iowa could have played through it and given themselves a...

If we would have kept our cool, we could all be talking about how we "played through the adversity," and came up with a "huge win." Instead, we'd all like to blame a couple refs for our teams inability to keep its composure. We barely have a fighting chance even without the meltdowns!

Oh, yes! Because there is a huge conspiracy against the Hawkeye basketball program running on about 10 years now! And this performance by the refs just confirms that!! Please!!!!! Our players and coaches have got to get their composure and start playing basketball or this season will...

Just makes the whole program look like a bunch of losers! We had a realistic shot at winning this game right before he imploded. Yes! Let's now blame the refs for our inability to shoot a ball through the hoop, hustle to beat your man on defense, dribble, or pass the ball. This program...

Wow!! I can barely stand to listen to this on the radio. I have to turn it off!! Not only have we taken strides backwards on the court, but now our coaches and players are completely losing their composure! What are the chances we could just cancel the rest of the season?

I watched about 10 minutes of the second half of tonight's game. I don't understand this at all!! We lost 1 senior from last year's team, yet we look horrible! I don't think Basabe took 1 shot the whole time I watched. He was a non-factor on defense. He was a tremendous player last year...

I love how we as fans are... Iowa's running the ball well, then they throw a couple passes that are incomplete. So, we should have kept running the ball. If we keep running the ball, then get stuffed a couple times, then we're "predictable." The reality is, Iowa can't just impose their will...

I admit, I was thinking everything was aligning well for a possible Iowa UPSET of Nebraska. Until this last week, I felt we had little hope in this game on the road. It was disappointing the way Iowa played for the most part, but we lost 20-7. It's NOT the end of the world! Reasons for...

I hadn't given Iowa a chance all year in this game until this week... 1. Neb is coming off an embarrassing loss at Mich. Some would say they are now "mad." On the contrary IMO. Especially at this time of year, when you lose that badly with a shot at a championship still on the line, it...

Iowa- 27 MSU- 24 Hawks have 27-17 lead with 9 minutes to go in the game. MSU makes us sweat it out, but Cousins makes a bad throw and we get the game clinching INT.
