Iowa Game Thread....

[WindsorHawk]

But we are Hawkeye fans. So we'll take the favorable no call.

You and I are...West Coast not so much.

This is not directed at you HW. The push...which no one saw until the replays...is NEVER called in that situation. There is too much happening. Watch a slow motion replay of the entire game and there were probably a dozen of those.

Remember this high point because we're going to get our butt holes served to us this weekend and everyone's going to be right back on the fire Fran train.

Ill lovingly eat crow but it's going to happen guys.

 

[HawkeyeWalker]

Sure many wont like this post but,
Meh...didnt deserve to win and tried every possible way to give it away at the end. Frustrating team to watch. Not clutch at all.

I'm kinda indifferent to your post actually.

Of course we deserved to win.

 

[1hawkeye1]

how did we win? Shot 34% and got out rebounded by 11

Turnovers. Temple 12, Iowa 3

 

[hawkdrummer1]

That was a great result but can we please stop with the Gessell ISO's to end games/halves? I'd rather Uthoff take a 35 footer than that.

Insanity : doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result

No go beat Nova. I know the Seniors are itching for revenge after that overtime game 2 years ago. Iowa should have one that one. Iowa showed their mental toughness in today's overtime and that will pay dividends on Sunday!

 

[HawkeyeWalker]

The only reason why Iowa won that game is because they didn't turn the ball over. If they have their usual 12 turnovers they probably lose by double digits.

And if we shoot our season average we win by double digits.

Not turning the ball over is a good thing.

If we won because we took care of the ball, in a game we shot poorly...fine.

Agreed all around.

lol Some people will ***** even after a win. So many are ready to see these seniors gone. Then don't watch. Sheesh! I want to watch them play 5 more.

That's a no brainor, but how often have we been seeing this cold shooting lately? Heck if we would have had more turnovers our percentage probably would have been better since we wouldn't have taken as many shots.

Adam Woodbury's tip will go down as one of the greatest clutch shots in Iowa basketball history! Overtime win on the last second!

Woody's Tip will go down as the greatest Hawkeye Porn of all time. That is it.

I hope not, I hope they save some of that porn for Villanova.

 

[Crimson]

Yes it is

Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?

 

[shonblatt]

I wouldn't really call Woody's play "clutch" - he was just in the right place at the right time, but damn I'd like to buy that guy a beer and shake his hand right now.

Let it go...he's on a roll

This game might break the age old adage that no win is bad. Because this one was pathetic.

Huh? So you would rather Iowa lost?

 

[tksirius]

Gesell? Maybe.

I'd say the real meltdowns were Jok at the line or the Clemmons foul

I wasn't saying Clemmons or Jok's free throws didn't affect the game.

Nope. Adage is intact. Any tourney win is great. Just ask Sparty.

Super happy for the kids. Woodbury push off will literally never get called, and wouldn't be fair to call there. He was probably getting the rebound anyway.

I've made fun of Gessell in the past but I would have felt terrible for him if that game is how his career ended.
