I think Nick is just worn down. He's expended so much energy this season.

I think we're seeing why Gill hasn't seen the floor much. Yeesh!

They get a nice steal and the momentum… only to turn it over for the 5th time in 15 minutes and foul. This is a frustrating team

Lots of turnovers by the Cats, the last one by Martinelli who slipped & slid. He’s been struggling the last couple of games.

Just foul them when they cross half court. The refs are going to call a foul at some point no matter what .

Wizard has to figure something out defensively. Reid and West get switched nearly every possession where they end up with a guy 6-8 inches taller.

Seriously... **** these refs.
Our team is playing like crap. Can’t blame that on the refs.

CCC at half-time or post-game:

Every single Iowa possession , these refs call a foul. It's like that Penn State game last year. CCC should lose it on the BIG office. It's utter ********

Massive mistake by everyone involved not to take the redshirt.
In this day and age if a guy is producing in practice and the team is struggling then give him real time experience. The only thing I regret is his boneheaded pass and stone handed dribbling not that he didn't get redshirted. Hope he plays much better when he gets another chance.

There is a very good possibility it’ll end up being a seven figure mistake on his part

Disagree. I hate redshirts when athletes don’t usually stick around for 5 years. Hardly anyone does that anymore.

He was bad in the first half, but let’s see what he looks like in the remaining games. I think the experience even if he plays poorly will really help for next year.
