I didn't get a chance to see the game, but just from looking at the stat sheet posted above, it seems odd that a team that shot that many 3's would also have been able to draw that many fouls. That would tell me that these fouls weren't necessarily the "Villanova being aggressive" variety...
Let down on defense eh? I guess you missed the 8 min stretch where Iowa couldn't score.
The team owns plenty of the blame but saying "the officiating had nothing to do with it" is pretty ignorant.
So it was the officiating that caused Iowa to play bad defense and not be able to get the ball out and run the fast break and secondary break like they were doing in the first half? When Iowa is reduced to a half court team, we are mediocre at best. And that's what Villanova did - they made us into a half court team.
