First and foremost I tip my hat to this team as they had no business being in this game with the 4th team in the nation but damn if Iowa keeps on playing tough they’re going to be a team to be reckoned with in the Big… I think they are that good.. Proud of the way they played and wish the outcome was different

Yes, Sturtz didnt have his best game, he looked tired at times although I havent watched him play much, and except for a bit of a scoring slump at the end of the first half and the bad start at the 2nd half the hawks probably would have and should have won.

I like their chances in a lot of games

Really like this team.

I can handle losing, but not when there's an obvious screw job.

Haven't been this pissed after a game in awhile. Refs can F off

And yes, I know we made mistakes, but so did ISU, but we didn't have the stripes there to CARRY us across the finish.
Right there with ya. Im beyond pissed. We got jobbed big time. Then you’ve got dipshit clown fans texting rubbing it in. 1 had the audacity to say they quit playing aggressive defense the last 12 minutes and that’s why we didn’t shoot any ft’s after hitting the bonus 😂

Someone else is going to need to emerge as a primary scorer to take the pressure off Stirtz but I'm not sure they have it. They're doing it by committee right now which is great, but man I wish this team had a Jok, Uthoff, or Weiskamp type player. I think Koch and Folgueras can get there, but probably a year or two out.

Jefferson went full Zach Edey or Shaq mode, taking 3 or 4 steps and bull in a China shop in the paint throwing elbows and got bailed out several times. A few odd bounces too similar to football this season too, but hell took the #4 team to the wire on the road with your stud under double digits on offense is pretty damn impressive. Just get this team to tourney, or SOR, etc should be looking good shortly + the NET.

You’re not convincing me that isu can play that aggressive of defense and foul 11 ******* times all game for 5 ft’s. Its a crock of **** and everyone knows it
And everyone in that building BOOS every damn time there's a whistle against them, regardless of sport or score, etc, it's absolutely maddening. Hilton seemingly gets the Izzo treatment to get the team back in the game...

In the games against Mich St, Maryland, and Iowa St, our opponents have attempted 86 free throw vs 35 for us. Yes, we do foul a lot, and in over 50 years of watching basketball, I’ve learned not to complain about the refs, but tonight did feel like the refs were calling too many fouls on us. Maybe Ben needs to be a bit more vocal, not like Fran😊, but work the refs a bit. And I didn’t expect tonight’s score to be this close. So, I’m proud of the way they played.

I'd LOVE to have the Breslin, Mackey, Hilton, Cameron Indoor affect in Carver....And I know you would too.
Simple answer: Put the product on the floor those programs have.
