Whelp, I was wrong. Thought you had it. You should be a 1 seed in the NIT.

It's all your fault.

 

[ScatmanTony]

lol lets all blame the refs now like a bunch of scrubs, maybe if we didn't turn the ball over during 5 straight possessions and maybe get some good shots off we would have won. We had it in the bag and blew it, the refs didn't cost us. On to the NIT!

BAU BAU

chalk that one up as a W for the big ten refs

Chalk that L up to the 9 Minute Scoring Drought..

 

[LawVHawk]

gotta have the top 4 seeds in the finals. It looks good.

That's it, in a nut cup. Corrupt B1G conference. Wonder if Fran realized the slime pit he was jumping into.

I can't stand Gus Johnson to begin with, but he is unbearable in a tough loss.

 

[HawksMN]

Ultra frustrating. Better clean out Carver Hawkeye gonna host 2-3 NIT games now. And I say that with a sorrowful heart.

Jon Miller ‏@HawkeyeNation Don't know what to say about this game any more. Just totally feel like Iowa got straight up jobbed. That will sound whiny fan, don't care

MSU is a great team, but to all you saying don't blame the refs..give me a break

 

[HawkPrdatr40]

I'm not big on blaming the refs. But what an absolute screw job. Game-winning shot attempt stolen away.

Pathetic.

This is always a good one the poster who claims to not really ever blame refs, but tonight was the screw job.. lol Too funny..

 

[TChawk]

Great Job choking again Hawks, once again season is over cause they not making it to the only tournament that matters...not that we should be shocked all they have done in big games all year is pee down their legs late in the game.

 

[bcl20]

The league's not corrupt. Getting 8 teams in the dance would have made a lot of sense for the league so if anything we should have gotten calls. College basketball refs are just terrible and it did effect this game. But we're not good enough to close out good teams. I don't know why, but we just can't do it.

 

[CyChamp]

You gotta be NIT favorites right now. That has to be some consolation.

Too many spectators on the court for the Hawks during that stretch....White was the ring leader. I really don't see what JO brings, if you are the sniper then you got get a shot off. They run so many plays for him and he only shoots when he is wide open. The second unit played very well and Basabe has been great.

lol scrub

That was an old-fashioned Ted Valentine Specialty.

Buzz off, Cy. At least for tonight. Let us cry in our beer a bit longer.

 

[RocknRollface]

reffs aren't the reason Iowa lost. But how can you call that foul on White when Nix lands on Marble and its a no call? It can't be a foul on one end and not on the other. It just can't.

Its flat out dishonest.

 

[hawksfan017]

Hate to blame the refs, but had they actually done their jobs...Iowa wins. The 2calls that stick out the most is the shot clock violation that MSU ended up getting 2 points out of...that's -2 for MSU. And also the obvious foul on marble shooting the three. Wtf? How was that not called. The announcer was even in awe. And let's swathe hits 2/3 free throws. There's +2 for hawks. That's the worst officiating I've seen for a while. Yikes.
