Blood in the water for you sharks now that Iowa lost again for the first time in 3 weeks.
No. **** happens. Ben is much better than Fran ever was
Iowa will always be susceptible to losses like this, this year. Stirtz is a stud, but there’s a reason the rest of the roster was at the mid major level
Losing to Maryland has much more effect on the NET then beating Purdue at home. Iowa needed to win the cupcakes to have a chance. Maybe they’ll pull something out of their hat down the stretch. You keep chugging that kool aid but LOL at your delusion of thinking a team that can’t beat Maryland is going to finish out the remaining schedule strong to make the tourney. They needed this cupcake win and blew it.
I dont get Sage sitting on the bench unless is sick or hurting and Iowa needs a big bad , Try Jirak some instead of Folgers
Poorest D of the season for Iowa. At times it looked like a layup drill for Maryland.
Not showing up for the first 20 minutes finally caught up to them, in the absolutely worst possible game to drop.
Congrats, I guess?
Bad losses = 83 NET Minnesota and 159 NET Maryland (& only 2 Q1 wins to balance that out)

Both sides of the ball are regressing outside of Stirtz.
Defense can't stop guys from going to the basket, so then they play off and teams have re-discovered their magic 25% shooting bonus to their 3 pt shot they get when playing Iowa, so they can't stop the 3 either.
Then we have half a team that doesn't want to score, and another half that doesn't know how to finish against Big Ten bodies.
Awesome stuff. So fun to watch. No wonder we have to beat fans away from Carver with a flamethrower..............
And our chances at winning the national championship this year......
**** that. Start another win streak.Might have just started a 4 game losing streak.

Bullcrap…. The Hawjs reaped what they sewed tonight…there defense looked vintage Fran abd tge call wasn’t falling…Tgey barely beat NE the other night…Tgey just aren’t playing well and the refs aren’t responsible for that.,
One game isn't dropping iowa 3 seed lines..

Iowa’s screwed. Couldn’t afford that tonight
No but the remaining schedule of maybe 1-2 wins will sure drop them like a rock
Biggest thing I learned from the game is that Hausen isn’t JC like some people on here think
Many prognosticators had us on the 8-9 line assuming a win tonight presumably. 7 was a stretch going into this game IMO.
I love that everyone is writing them off after one ice cold shooting night and retarded officials.
Iowa wins Saturday. Book it.
Very similar as to how I felt watching although I was a little more likeNot showing up for the first 20 minutes finally caught up to them, in the absolutely worst possible game to drop.

Might have spoke too soon on the sandwich meme. Apologies. Schedule to end the year is brutal.
Absolutely. I saw Lute Olson back in my day go out to the middle of the court to argue a call. The atrocious officiating goes way back. You have to play your way around it and we didn't deserve to win. Offense looked terrible in the second half and no flow. Fugly all the way around.
Guess I can't fault the Iowa D for allowing all the drives by MD. Hard to play aggressively on D when the whistle is likely looming even when you do everything you can to avoid any contact that the refs can find actionable to call a foul on.
Every time they actually tried to 'D up', the MD ball handler just threw their body around at the same time they threw their heads back and bodies to the ground and it was automatic whistle against the Hawks.

The defensive effort was what was disappointing.
MD shoots 53%.
I thought BM stressed D. Tonight they looked like a Fran defense. Ole!
3 wins is probably best case scenario, IMO. Might end up needing to win a couple games in the BTT. I hope it doesn’t come down to that.
This was a horrendous loss.
That was your biggest takeaway? Weird take. He arguably played better than everyone not named Stirtz.
I’d love to hear your analysis of Howard? Sage? Folgueiras? Koch?
They don't take chances always defer to BS unless its a wide wide open shot
Immediately draws a charge, after inserted into the game, and then hits first two 3PAs.
Usually doesn't see the floor at all.
Excuse the hell out of us for finding a little excitement in that stretch for the kid.
BM called out refs on the no call on Stirtz knocked to the ground on layup.
Also BM says 3 guys came ready to play.

Our offense could never flow due to the seemingly incessant whistles. Add to that the harsh reality is that they shot 28 FTs to our 17, making 2 more than our total FTs with 19. We turned it over 4 times to their 14 times. They led in FG% at 53% and we shot 42%. Could have used something from Howard and AF. Waste of human flesh tonight from them.
I'm not sure I would say half the team does not want to score. It is a byproduct of Ben's offense. He does not want shots with more than 15 seconds on the clock unless it is basically a layup.

As he should.
Clear hard contact and even reviewable for an upgraded infraction.
I get it, but he was hip checked to the head on that goal tend and Selcz said there was nothing to see there. Play on.
The refs should be ashamed of themselves. Terrible shooting. The only reason it was close was because they were even worse from the free throw line.
