Just a reminder..

Huh? Pemsl played only 13 minutes. Moss played only 16 minutes. Jok played only 21 minutes. I don't know for sure but I'd say Jok only played about 7 minutes in the second half. There's three of our starters who played either just over half the game or less than half the game.

Moss only averages 17 mpg anyways. Bohannon, Cook and Moss were in the game at the end. Jok was hurt so they didn't put him back in there. He didn't give up, the rest of the team did though I guess

I think most teams are giving 100% all the time and they just have times when they play bad. I can't think of another team this year besides us that just flat out gave up in a game

You said right here we did.

Like I said earlier, it's pretty common for a team to let up in a blowout. You just don't notice because the other team normally does too.

Yeah I could see a winning team letting off the gas, not a team of young guys who are trying to get better. Not a good look to quit in a conference game when you're down

It's not a good look. It's not really concerning tho.

Makes us look mentally weak in my opinion

I agree. I'm still not worried tho because every team does the same thing to an extent.

It is called scheduling. If Iowa is playing for the NIT, then don't schedule 3 top 50 teams. Yet the NIT isn't the goal, so you take your chances and play them, because those games are very important if you want to make the NCAA.

So I have no problems scheduling to get to the NCAA and then missing the NIT as a result. Who cares? Is this gonna be your new troll, that NIT is great and no NIT is fire time?

Here is where you brought up SOS as a reason we could miss the NIT

I don't think we will miss the NIT.

If you want further thoughts on how we COULD POSSIBLE miss the NIT (which will never happen) I think it is more likely we miss the NIT because Pete Jok misses the rest of the season, or Fran gets his by a bus, than missing it because of our SOS.

I could give you more reason that I find more likely as well if you would like. Yet since I dont think they will miss the NIT, I think your reasons that you find it likely we miss the NIT are more pertinent.
