wtf is up with these fouls 90 feet from the basket that keep giving Minnesota free points?

 

[Maroons02]

The guy Howard supposedly fouled was visibly shocked at that call.

 

[Slim45]

Welp, if that call right there doesn’t tell you that this ***** ******* rigged you’re beyond help. Holy ****

 

[bansheexyz]

The hell are these refs looking at. They just keep boning us.

 

[Hawksfor3]

Every time we get to within 5-7 points, the zebras make a big play lol.

 

[BubsFinn]

How can you make those two calls in a row?

Life on the road in the Big Ten. You know going in the refs are going to screw you. It's been like that since I started watching Big Ten Basketball in the 70s.

 

[HawkBall23]

Iowa might as well stay on the offensive end.

Every defense is a foul now.

 

[herkhatescy2]

I thought they looked bad the MSU game. They look worse in this game.

The refs?

 

[RoseBowlorBust]

The refs are ready to blow the whistle on us. Laughable

 

[MAKhawks]

That's a foul?

On one end it is. Legal on the other end.

 

[LetsGoHawks83]

Why even play the game?

This is so ridiculous

 

[Easthawk1062]

When’s the last time Minnesota didn’t get a whistle? I legit can’t remember.

 

[DuddyB]

Initiates contact not once not twice but three times and then it gets the foul lol

 

[Anon1681859870]

No foul

 

[LaQuintaHawk]

8-on-5 compounded by stupidity on the offensive end.


Oh well, show up (hopefully!) on Sunday and give Illinois a game.

They’ll need a huge bounce-back win or you can write the season off. Tough stretch coming up after that one.

 

[iahawkeyes17]

Wow this ref show is so much fun. Holy hell last 3-4 fouls I’m just think wtf was that. If you made those calls all game every player would foul out.

 

[kwik44]

This is just stupid. Has anyone ever sued the big ten stripes?

 

[Anon1681859870]

This is life at home to for Iowa.

 

[Hawksfor3]

Not happening tonight.

 

[Hootie LaRue]

The sheer amount of times our guys pass on open shots is extremely concerning and has been a trend throughout this season.

But that would be an emotional statement, which is not allowed by certain users on this board until the game is complete.

It’s something I think Fran deserves credit for, he let his best offensive players loose. McCollum doesn’t seem to want to do that.

 

[kwik44]

Where is the foul on the board?! Just threw banks to the side!

 

[IowaCityLit]

With road games at Purdue and IU next week, Sunday's home game against Illinois is a must win. Otherwise, this team will be on a 4 game losing streak, headed to the bubble with some major red flags, and making the tourney will become a tremendous challenge.

 

[LetsGoHawks83]

That would have been a rebounding foul on Iowa on the other end for undercutting

 

[MAKhawks]

No travel lol

 

[Anon1681859870]

New coach new team. Cmon guys.

Refs blow. Do they realize Frans gone?

 

[LetsGoHawks83]

Ok.... Got let it fly here Hawks.

Maybe refs will swallow their whistles for a few minutes for our defense. Otherwise, how many foul out in the final 7 mins?

 

[Skydog0784a!]

If IA has any chance, now is the time to make our move. 2 FTs by Stirtz must be made and then we need to catch quite a few breaks.

Now or never!

 

[kwik44]

when’s the last time Minnesota beat Iowa by 10+?

feel like we’ve owned them like football..

 

[herkhatescy2]

They’ll need a huge bounce-back win or you can write the season off. Tough stretch coming up after that one.

The season?...

 

[Hawkangler]

I've never seen these refs in the BIG before. Looks like they are bojght and paid for.

 

[BaseBallerP27]

MVC team in the B1G. Shocked?

 

[HawkBall23]

I know "life on the road" and B1G officiating is already bad going into any game, but tonight has been literally AWFUL. Just so bad that the league officiating office has to be sitting there watching this game with bags over their heads.

 

[HoggI74]

It’s something I think Fran deserves credit for, he let his best offensive players loose. McCollum doesn’t seem to want to do that.

Fran might have realized the refs aren't going to let you play tough D on the road...you're going to have to outscore them...maybe that's why he never bothered. Get em in a shooting contest on the road, play D at home...

 

[hawkeyewx]

Stirtz has missed three FTs tonight. Just a bad night all around for him.

 

[LetsGoHawks83]

What's the deal at the line Stirtz?

 

[BaseBallerP27]

Stirtz so underwhelming

 

[HawkBall23]

I don't even know WTF they are trying to do on offense most of the time.

So, so, so, sooooo bad tonight.

 

[Sett1997]

Refs will even it up a bit soon since the game will be out of reach. Meaningless fouls, clockwork.

 

[LetsGoHawks83]

Just shoot that Stritz!!!
