Seemingly never ending Iowa MBB thread (still going.....)

So you don't care how far they go, but you want them to get the 2 seed? Ok.
I want them to get the 2 seed so they play Thursday night instead of Thursday morning. I think it will be more fun down in KC on Thursday that way. Other than them getting the 2, I don't care if they win or lose in either tourney.

Speaking of refs, when was the last time Iowa got completely hosed by a ref that cost them a game? I know we have our wall of apologies but wasn't for sure on Iowa

They had a game earlier this year, (Minnesota I think?) where everyone in black was complaining that the refs obviously gave the game to Minnesota. I don't know if it was a true hosing or not, cause I didn't care, but I remember seeing some articles being posted by Hawk "reporters"

Anybody else ever try to read posts without looking at the username & guess who posted it? I think I have a few posters from this thread pegged, I can tell they posted it 9/10 times.

jereseib- Pretty much constantly defending B1G, Iowa, & trying to rationalize why he thought our team/coach sucked

Cytwins- Constantly baiting the Iowa fans with trolly posts. Sometimes with factual info, much of it exaggerated, though.

1976- Kind of like cytwins, but a lot more exaggerated. 96% of posts are about how horrible Iowa/B1G is.

Sportsfan10- Usually the one who takes their bait. Wants to make sure everyone knows how much he could or couldn't care less about things. Would rather watch shows like Gilmore Girls than top 25 college basketball.

Yeahbuddy- Somewhat rational hawk fan who responds to twins/1976 probably more than he should. Does get trolly from time to time.



There's 1 more I can think of, I think it's Splitidentity but could be wrong. Just pops in occasionally to post blatant trolling bits to get a reaction out of ISU fans. It's usually like he doesn't even try to be clever with it, pretty poor effort really.

Nailed it!

Definitely didn't cost them the game, there was like 30 seconds left and even if Iowa got the timeout they tried calling they would have had to try to inbound the ball again or get fouled and make free throws.

Not saying that it did, I just remember hearing about that from them, and figured the Hawk fans would bring that up as their argument.
 
Well, I dont really remember then, the rest of their losses havent really been close this season.

Yeah I don't remember them ever getting a hose job like we did against KU in 2013 or anything like that. Don't understand why they complain about officiating when I think they have had some good fortune with refs. Temple game comes to mind
 
Lol no, that didn't cost them the game. Bad calls happen all the time, I'm talking about a call that actually cost them the game

Well I think it did. Iowa was up 2 with 18 seconds to go. They clearly called a timeout and the Minnesota defender was out of bounds when he tied him up. Also, that was about the fastest I've ever seen a jump ball get called. Up 2 with the ball with under 20 seconds to go with great FT shooters in Jok and Bohannon and I think Iowa wins that game 95% of the time or more.

22 to be exact, Ellingson who is a 100% free throw shooter should have been at the line for 2 shots which would have put them up 4. You could argue Minnesota could have came back from 4 down and I wont disagree with you, but it definitely decreased the odds of Iowa winning.
