The Breakdown: How the Hawkeyes Knocked Off No. 17 Purdue

[Thawki]

When jok got busted for driving without a licence. I posted how bad it sucked because he was going to be really good and there was no way he would make it 3 more years without getting kicked off the team. Someone who gets in trouble twice as a freshman is really going to have a hard time making it 3 more years in Iowa city. Turns out I was right on how bad it would have sucked and wrong on him getting in trouble again. One of my all time favorite Hawks.

But in reality, if you look at what he actually got in trouble for, they were two VERY MINOR things that had bad optics but are not the sort of things that get you booted and probably don't indicate things to come that would get you booted. That is what I thought at the time, though I remember your comments or the same comments as yours from others on this board.

I agree but 3 little things in a short period of time may have been enough to get him the boot. Also the second one showed such poor judgement that it worried me worse than the first one which was a worse crime.

Great win!!! Now a young team needs to learn how to carry that intensity into each game and not let down.

Remember all of the posts about how Jeremy Morgan was better and we made a recruiting mistake? I'm pretty sure Morgan isn't better and Jok wasn't a mistake.

Ha I do remember that. Jok will almost certainly be Fran's 4th straight 1st team Big 10 player.

You know who those guys were.......did you give them any credence? They were Cyclone trolls or the negative Nancy type.

That ball went off Cook plain as day. I was pretty surprised after reviewing it like they did that they didn't overturn it..

While it seemed to at several angles, the telling angle was from behind Cook and Cline. If you watch closely you will see Cline's fingers move at an odd angle after Cook bats the ball. From every other angle, it does look like Cook batted the ball out of bounds. But one angle brought up enough doubt that the ruling was not overturned.

On another note, I thought the charging call against Pemsl was bogus as Swanigan's right foot was clearly inside the charging/blocking arc.

Very good point, not to mention the bad call on the block on Haas and knee to the chest that clearly should have been a charge rather than a block. Fast paced game the Refs miss stuff. Truth was neither team was damaged much by the calls. It was won on the floor. Iowa beat a good team that played one of their better games.
