I couldn't do that job. Hell.. when told the elbow call was going against Harper I would have told the team to hit the bench until they bring the conference big-wigs out of their luxury box to explain it to me by citing the rulebook. If they wanted to call Ts against me.. fine.. if they wanted t force us to forfeit for not taking the court.. fine. That was a bogus reversal that is against the rules, as I understand it, and I would have insisted they change it back.

Good job by Geo and Ron in the post game presser. Pike is a great coach and leader and his players reflect his values.

Im proud of this team. They gave it everything they had today.

You can’t win todays game by yesterdays score. Iowa is playing at the top of their game right now.

He's always class, so glad to have him locked up for a long time. As a long suffering fan these last few years have been fun to watch. It's nice turning on the tv and knowing and expecting we can win every game.

Pike handled himself well and yes the refs negatively impacted the game and RU was rightfully frustrated. At the end of the day, the entire body of work is what's evaluated, not playing a quality Iowa team on a neutral court.

I do think there are fans that are probably watching consistently and closely for the 1st time and there are a lot of teams that would have lost by 10 to Iowa today.

If you subtract the rabbit ear technical fouls by Bo Borowski, this is a single digit game. It's unfortunate that the refs have to be such an overwhelming part of the game, but RU has gotten its fair share of calls or non calls this year.

I am not sure that playing 3 games in 3 days from Friday through Sunday adds any true value to your chances to advance and the closer you get to the 8/9 seed, you'll run into a 1 seed, even if RU won today and possibly Saturday.

Still believe this is the best 5 days in the sports year from Wednesday through Sunday and the 2nd best week starts Tuesday/Wednesday night through next Sunday night.

If we avoid Piscataway and Dayton this is the result I wanted. The prize is the NCAA tournament. Brad Underwood came out and said it.

A 3 day in a row stretch is exactly what we don’t need if we want to get in to the 2nd weekend of the NCAA tournament.

this team needs rest. Cliff dunks everything in the 1St half and doesn’t have the same legs in the 2nd half. Paul is a wreck emotionally and I chalk that up to physical and mental fatigue

This team has played real hard for 2 months and I feel we need to keep the tank as filled as possible.

RUs coach is good and a class act. I think he can get some talent with the recruiting footprint around NYC. They should be in the NCAAs.

My theory is that when everyone likes you and knows you are a good person they make things happen for you when they can.

Based on this alone is why I think we make the tournament.

I may not read lips correctly but when the flagrant foul was overturned he was yelling that’s bullshxt to the ref. In their face the entire game. Btw. Not why we lost

That’s what I thought he said after the reversal. May not have directly been the reason for the loss, but the impact of the reversal should not be dismissed. Murray would have picked up his second foul and probably would have had to sit for a while. He was killing us at the time. Maybe the game stays close throughout the rest of the half.. The way the whistle was going it is hard to tell just what an impact it has on the players that believe that are not only opposing Iowa they are not getting.a fair whistle.
