Iowa didn’t win. WE LOST IT!

[SBP]

Huge difference. Self inflicted loss.
Foul shooting.
Fumbled passes.
Missed bunnies.

Damn shame.

 

[shields]

4-12 from foul line.

 

[MGSA99]

If this game is played at A FULL RAC with 8,000 screaming fans, we win walking away. The students would terrorize Garza.

 

[Rufaninga]

They played good, fought hard and won. Garza is a beast. We didn't do enough to win and take it.

 

[richthedentist]

4-12 from foul line.

We have discussed this all year and this is what is going to prevent us from going deep into the tournament

 

[BigEastPhil]

Free throws; lack of execution at end of game

 

[rudad02]

Besides the shitt*y we beat ourselves. Really too bad.

 

[KingOfTheEast]

Yeah it's tough to say Iowa didn't win it. They made shots at the end and we didn't

We also win if we can make a foul shot and stop with those stupid *** touch fouls on easy lay ups on transition

Could be! That didn’t help us last time they were here though...I was hoarse for a week after that one

 

[bitnez]

But for the dunk RHJ had a tough half. He missed a lot of wide open shots. It’s going to happen. Their lead dog killed us late. Get better and move on

 

[GORU2014]

If we won a game like that I’d still say we won. Disrespectful to Iowa

 

[BigRnj]

We relied on the 3 too much (and shot it poorly) in the 2nd half, and $&%*!# foul shots... otherwise it’s a comfortable win

 

[IL Lusciato]

We made a ton of bad decisions and missed a ton of easy shots. They did none of that. We lost and they won.

 

[FireBugOBJC]

That last bone head foul Harper committed was a killer

 

[Zimm80]

Very Good teams win a lot of games but great teams always find a way to win , we are not deep enough to be a great team yet but we may end up making it to in the sweet 16, I could see from a mile away not having fans at the rack was going to cost us at least 3 or 4 games this year, hoping I’m wrong.

 

[Mr_Twister]

Garza shot remarkably. Give the guy credit.

Garza didnt matter.

Make the free throws and win. Nothing else needs to be discussed.

 

[RuBird]

We made a ton of bad decisions and missed a ton of easy shots. They did none of that. We lost and they won.

Went 4-12 FT and somehow lost by 2. Not a moral victory. More about how close we are to really being able to consistently win games like this. We knew Garza would get the calls. Damn shame we lost

 

[RW90]

Missed way too many open looks, over half of those from the charity stripe.

 

[Mr_Twister]

Made foul shots would have changed the complexion of the game. Garza is the reason Iowa won.

 

[bac2therac]

Iowa scored on their last 6 possessions...major credit to them

This is as easy a call as refs will ever get. Reffing is hard. This call is automatic

 

[Scarlet Shack]

The game was lost earlier when we had an opportunity a couple of times in the second half and didn’t put them away ....

It wasn't though. Geo gets hacked last play. The game was still right there for the taking despite everything. Missed layups bunnies FTs. All of it. Call the easy hack and we still can win

 

[bac2therac]

3 for 7 on foul shooting late including Rons miss that could have put RU 72-70 after his great dunk

but key turning point....RU up 54-47 after Myles block, Harper took a ugly looking forced shot....a chance to go up 9 and instead Weiskamp makes shot and to compound the issue JY commits bad foul on easy lay up and a 10-0 run by Iowa in just 3 minutes

Sorry, but you can't win a game against a quality opponent when
you go 4-12 from the line. That is pathetic. Ask Jacob Young's
father how it feels to lose big games (twice in the Final Four)
to teams that you're better than because you can't shoot free throws

Please, tip your hat to Iowa. They delivered down the stretch. Garza and his teammates got it done. No slight to Rutgers.

Yeah what was that all about?

Par for the course.

Agreed. no disrespect to Iowa at all. After all, they were 17-23 from
the line

OK. We got the Dubya. You're a great team. Got to hit the Ft's though. Can't ***** about a 2 point loss when you go 4-12. Fact. I hope you guys are players at the end with us. Your program under Coach P is looking very legit. Personally, I hope you have a very high seed in the dance.

 

[rudad02]

How about when Myles had his wrist literally grabbed early in the game.

 

[BigRnj]

Uh, you suck at math

 

[Mr_Twister]

They scored on 6 of their last 7 possessions. Garza scored 15 points in the last 9 minutes.

 

[Mr_Twister]

Uh, you suck at math

There was tons of time after the missed foul shots to reconcile things — we had plenty of time and situations to make amends. Foul shooting is not the reason we lost. Iowa won the game due to their play down the stretch. Poised and clutch.

Not looking forward to the re-match. You have a hell of a program going. Too bad both our profiles would be already enhanced had we had a 2020 dance. Anyways, you are legit. CBB world is well aware. Love your team and how you play. I am giddy because I am well aware of who we were up against. Would never have said that 3 years ago. Chin up Rutgers. Welcome to relevance in the BIG 10. (you were very relevant last year) You will be a fun factor in this thing.

I get it coach, we coulda shoulda, Iowa did, blah blah blah. You still suck at math poor FT shooting IS relevant in the loss analysis.

Crybaby board.
