Down 2 gets the T, Newbill who hadn't scored all half gets 2 easy free throws then scores 7 straight. Went from 2 to 6 on one possession and got Newbill going. Horrible T IMO turning point of the game. Didn't he get a T last year in a key spot that cost us? Not sure if it was B1G, NCAA, or just a big game, but I thought he did.
Exactly You can *itch all you want about the bad call but you can't lose your composure, get T up, lose a possession, Mo switches and your down 6 and not regain the lead. Our guys see Fran blow and they get rattled, and they had been playing with such confidence. That was the turning point. This loss is on Fran.
This was all on the players...PERIOD
This was all on the players...PERIOD
Bullfunky ! Fran hadn't blown we would of won this game. PERIOD !!!!
If ever there was a team loss, this was it...
Two things, Iowa should submit a protest to the Big 10 over the call. It was an obvious goal tend, add 2 points for Iowa, take away the 2 free throws for pedo state. Iowa leads going into the final minute. The game completely changes. There is no excuse for missing a call like that. Second where is was the technical for the pedo state head coach for standing outside of the coaching box, and on the court repeatedly during game play? At one time both the head coach and an assistant head coach were on the court. If you T up one coach, the other one should be called to for violations. The refs were garbage in this game. It is the tournament game, why can't we get a decent crew to call the game?
I think there's a lot of truth here. PSU had the ball so there was no lost possession.Down 2 gets the T, Newbill who hadn't scored all half gets 2 easy free throws then scores 7 straight. Went from 2 to 6 on one possession and got Newbill going. Horrible T IMO turning point of the game. Didn't he get a T last year in a key spot that cost us?

I was kind of upset at Fran for the T when it happened. When I watched it back, he got a freaking T for leaving the coaching box???? Are you freaking serious? What kind of official looks back at a coach like that anyway? They could T up every coach, every second of the game. I think Groce actually plays defense on some Illini possessions.

They lost their composure long before that. Try when they blew a double digit lead in the first half.Turning point of the game. The volcano erupted and the team lost its composure and regressed.
Yeah it was a BS T call for the ref especially with 7:45 left in the game. But man I was thinking it was with 9 or 10 minutes left, not 7:45 you can't get a T there Fran!
Making wide open shots and layups and basket bunnies would reflect it more because that not only increases % but more importantly. ... points on the board.The Iowa players were being mugged on a lot of shots with no calls. If the refs had done their jobs that would not have happened, and the shooting % would have reflected that.
