Iowa got so many lucky breaks in the last couple possessions just to have a chance for JorBo's shot to tie it.
First there was Langford's drive down the lane where he CLEARLY is in the air before Garza slides underneath him to take the charge. That would have been an "and 1" likely 3 pt play that was taken away from Indiana there.
Then on Iowa's next trip down, Cook has the ball and an Indiana player swipes straight DOWN on the ball, and the ball goes straight sideways parallel to the ground and out of bounds. Now you tell me how that can happen without it going off Cook? If you swipe straight down on the ball and nobody else touches it, the ball would go straight down and hit the court, UNLESS someone else touched it to make it go straight sideways out of bounds. It clearly went off Cook, but nope, ball stayed with Iowa.
And then on JorBo's game tying shot, you talk about the clear definition of a charge by pushing off, my word. JorBo's arm straight to the chest of the Indiana player, and JorBo's arm completely extends too while shoving him away. You tell me how a defensive player is supposed to defend in that situation? Just blatant.
And Iowa needed all these things to happen just to be able to tie it. This team is catching every break. I've never seen anything like it. They never lead the game in the entire 2nd half.
