Iowa vs Purdue offical game thread

ANOTHER team younger then US...out playing and out coaching. Purdue will be top 5 in Big ten next year....and we will still struggle to be 8th.
 
It would be great to get into the ncaas but we would probably lose in first round.

Maybe NIT and getting a good run of games would be better for this team

Purdue isn't younger than us, but they're young. However, their young players are better than our young players unfortunately.
 
Tough loss. Poor shooting cost the Hawks...its frustrating and hooefully can improve. Outside chance of NCAA tourney gone.

Solid comeback all for naught.

Just too much inconsistency and scoring droughts. Its fixable though.

Up 2 -- Marble Missed FT
let Purdue tie game - now OT

Chance to go ahead
-- Basabe 1/2 FT - game tied

Down 2
-- White 0/2 FT - this after team was 14-16 FT's to keep and get them back into game

2 road games - 2 B1G losses - not FT shooting - FT under pressure!
 
Poor coaching. Should have called time out with 10 seconds left and draw up a play for someone who is hot. Instead we let street ball Marble thug up more losing shots and fall to 2-5 in the Big 10. Awesome.
 
In all fairness to Marble he had two decent shots and had there been 10 minutes left instead of just seconds refs probably would have sent him to the line as he was bumped from behind on both shots. Most of these officials are gutless to make a call that could decide a game.

Woulda, coulda, shoulda. Blew the late lead against MSU, too. Same crap, different day. Oh we'll, I've gotten used to it over the years.

These guys have no mental toughness at all. They probably cant win at PSU or Nebraska.

Dude shut up. You have no right to say that garbage. We were behind and made a comeback to take the lead. If anything it was our shooting that hurt us, mental toughness brought us back in this game. Some questionable decisions at times but young teams do that. The way they shot tonight, most teams would have struggled worse than we did tonight. No reason for your type of comments.

Thug up?
 
Byrd's three at the start of the second half was the KILLER.....

Among a few other things.....

Excellent comeback, a free throw could have won it for us......

Life on the road in the Big Ten is excruciating.....

By not making the call, they are making a call to determine the outcome of the game. I thought Purdue got away with a lot of grabbing and bumping in OT. But, FT's were the killer. This is now the third big 10 game Iowa could have one including Indiana and MSU. They have to start winning those games!

Marble is killing them right now. He takes all the motion out of the offense.

I think Aaron White has to start taking some 3's and other jumpers in games especially early to open up his game.

Marble needs to just work on his shot period.

If those two cant get it squared away the NIT might not be there
