The Fran fade

He gets hacked, leaned on and just mauled. Feels like shaq of the 90s where you have a license to do whatever you want to him and they'll givev him about 6 to 8 free throws which could easily be 14 to 16

Wait, he is getting leaned on? Forget the refs, call the police about that assault.
 
You shouldn't hope that Iowa beats Nebraska, you should expect it. It's a 95%er on KP with an 18 pt win.
Nebraska lacks shooters, a PG, and an inside game on both ends of the floor. Their only hope is that Teddy puts up another 40 and gets some help this time.

Luka is an incredibly physical player and the only way you can stop him is if you get physical back. There then lies the problem because what are referees supposed to do? Call an offensive or defensive foul every other play?

I have no issue with Luka bullying through people down low, just like I don't have an issue with guys hounding Luka down low. Luka is also very crafty with how he "chicken wings" guys. It's sometimes tough to call and actually should've been called last night when he ended up traveling late in the game.

What I don't understand is how refs don't call him for the elbow he constantly throws into guys' ribs. I saw it 4 times last night and was shocked he got away with it.

Shaq was a rim runner with a dominating defensive game to boot. He rarely stepped outside the paint and sometimes Luka will be setting screens up at the 18' mark.

Shaq had oop after oop in his career too. Something that isn't in the Iowa playbook much.

He also gets away with several offensive fouls and travels that they don't call. 100% of the time, he is the one initiating contact yet he gets most of the calls. I don't have any problem with how he plays, he is just the last person anyone should think doesn't get calls. It's the game he's choosing to play.
