Uthoff disappears, zone defense, lack of movement, 2 huge free throws by Clemmons missed late, thank God for Mike or we lose by 10+. Coaches need to get their crap together. This team short handed and we were in bonus with 10:00 left in game. We have went from contender to a 6-8 seed and a quick exit in B1G tourny. To top it off we will probably beat Indiana.

At this point, I don't think we win another game this year. We might win our first NCAA tourney game but I believe we are going 0-3 until then.
 
Playing with no confidence,need someone to step up and with 4 Seniors starting nobody is doing it.Good chance we could lose rest of our games and not even make the dance.What a disappointment this team has become,can't even get upset if they can't figure it out I'm not going to get to excited either.Two shot clock violations late in the game tells us there is no leadership on this team.

Nailed it.
 
Uthoff does not look for or call for the ball the last five minutes. He just withers away, not what is expect from a first team all big ten senior. Jok, Woodbury, and Gessell only players playing with any confidence. Jok needs to shoot the ball 20 times a game coming off the screen. Turning point in the game IOWA up 6 with about 8 to go and Peter gets called for hook foul on offense. If that goes the other way Jok hits two FTs and Iowa is up 8.

The one where Uthoff went out of his way to get the ball out of his hands with 5 seconds left was absolutely ridiculous. Forced Gesell into some horrible shot to try to beat the clock.

People really need to stop saying Uthoff disappears that's stupid talk. Look what happens in late game situations and the sets that Iowa gets into too. This is a systematic issue not a player issue!

Would love to set and watch film with you...you my friend are having trouble watching the last 6 games with a non-bias eye. Valentine, yogi, they make things happen. MSU just killed this same team full strength.

So so tell me what did Iowa do to get Uthoff or Jok involed for that matter late in games loess?? I'm watching the game just fine, I don't need any help.

Gessell still got to dish the ball that is if he wants!! Gessell is the guy getting those players involved and I see lots and lots of top of the key dribbling and plenty of missed assist opportunities.

im not saying Uthoff is completely off the hook but man The Fran system in close games has never been impressive and still isn't.

I don't disagree with the rest of your points, but a 20-11 (11-7 B1G regular season) Iowa team would make the tournament and they wouldn't even be in the "First Four" games.

No since in calling them names or calling any of them out,there best just isn't good enough.Most teams are playing there best ball at the end of the season,this team isn't and that's on the coaches.Ok sorry I called out the coaches.

So this game not Gesell's fault?

Nope, just the last shot, that happened to be the most important one of the game.

As so many are rationalizing this collapse as a "reversion to the mean" (which is really nothing more than saying the Hawks were nothing more than an over-achieving average team, or, by definition, a pretender ... hmmmm) what a microcosm of the whole season for Mikey to get stuffed after so many successful drives throughout the game.
