Other than his use of timeouts, player substitution, and picking effective defensive schemes, he's not a bad in-game coach.

Looks like Cook has already checked out. He is jogging up down the court on fast breaks

Who is still in? The only one who matters - Barta. Unless Fran hits somebody, he's here for the foreseeable future.

10 down, no time out. Thank God the 8 minute commercial break stopped the run

That is a good point. I am surprised Kenpom and Sagarin don't factor the non-D1 teams. Perhaps they think the teams that schedule non-D1s are not really in the mix when it comes to determining tourney bids.

Iowa had the worst SOS in the B1G. Just imagine how bad it would be if the MSU and WI games weren't included. With a 11-0 non-con, we only need 6 wins to make the NIT since a 17-15 records is the worst we could do. Given the strength of the conference, that may be pretty tough. The six...

Not sure if anyone keeps stats on this, but it seems as is the second to last four minutes of the game are usually our worst

Lead is down to 16, need to re-exert a will on a bottom 30 team

excellent defense this half. Everyone is hustling. It's good to see this effort now. Could practice for B1G games

Four turnovers on Cook, It's about the only blemish on play

Connor played the critical role down the stretch: drove to the basket picked up the fouls and NAILED the FTs. How many times have we seen the Hawks fold like a cheap tent in the final 2 minutes and lose a double digit lead? Very impressive, hope we can keep it up.

11 point game with 170 seconds left, let's value the ball please

#1 reason the game isn't over: we have 7 more turnovers.

Moss virtually played the entire half. Good to see Fran leaving him in when he has the hot hand.

My six wins: beat NW and Rutgers twice, Illinois at home, and at Penn State. Likely we will lose one of those 6, but beat somebody else.

I'm also taking into consideration the depth of quality in the B1G this year. It's not so much that we aren't getting better, it's that conference is so strong this year.

6-14 is exactly what I think is the most likely scenario. Assuming that they either beat the Clones or win a game in the B1G tourney, they should be able to make the NIT. Hey, it's a step in the right direction.

Very likely we will have the lead sometime during the game. Rutgers was ahead of MSU for a while in the first half. Generally its how teams are coached and play in the last four minutes that count. Even last year Iowa gave a lot of good teams a game, for a while.

My Spidey sense tells me that this melodrama and season would have ended quite differently were it not for the tweets of Noah's brother.

As others have pointed out, at the buzzer, IA had 3 timeouts remaining. Towards the end of the game, when this happened, I think many coaches would have called a time out. http://www.espn.com/video/clip?id=25421482
