What exactly happened on the play where the Iowa guy (don't recall his number, but he was skinny and white) was inbounding the ball from the baseline and he sort of lazily just threw it out of bounds?

Imagine the helpless, soul-crushing feeling to be a Hawk player/fan watching that series of events unfold.
I was curious too. They never really showed it. The camera wasn't really showing the guy throwing it in, so all I saw was the ball dribbling along the floor and going out of bounds.
Tough call, probably dependent on match ups. Quite the luxury to have two quality bigs to rotate through, with Omaha waiting in the wings once he gets going.
I don't buy that at all. His ceiling is reached by playing under control like he was last night. We saw how bad he was when we let him loose in Orlando. Iowa was beyond bad at stopping the ball handler, keeping them out of the lane, and rim protecting. Once Gilbert got comfortable, he even started hitting 3s. When we let him loose in Orlando, how many did he airball?
I get your general sentiment, but we need him under control. He was aggressive last night, but in control. That's perfect.
I like his tear drop in the lane a lot more than his hang and initiate contact move. I hope he uses it more.
This aged well...Username 2076. We know who to come for when this goes south tonight.
you have opened a portal where Patrick and Sandort combine for 8 threes
Tony Perkins gets a sneaky 15
Krikke out hustles and rebounds us and gets 15 of his own.
combined with ISU going on a 12 min drought somewhere in the game.
that is what you have just done here
Seems to me some players' strengths are really being honed in after the ESPN tourney. Same with C. Jones.
And it's starting to gel.
The crow tastes great as I didn't see 7-2 including last night after that tourney.
Maybe he spoke it out of existence?
A jinx has to work both ways or it violates the laws of physics.
How I took that comment was let him play and figure it out, not urge him to wildly drive every time. You don't want to completely neuter his aggressiveness but like you said he also has to be under control. He needs to learn to walk that line. If you really force him to hold back his aggressiveness this team won't be as effective. Does that make sense?
What I’m trying to say is he has to get to that point of attacking with better decision and control, but there are probably going to be some bad moments now and then along the way. Fans need to hang in there while he learns and gets to that happy balance of attacking while making good decisions consistently.
Old '76 has improvidently demeaned the Hokeyes on more than one occassion, however.
The Iowa player attempted to bounce the ball off Milan's back similar to what Iowa State did against Woodbury. However, he missed milan and just threw it out of bounds.
If the shoe was on the other foot last night that would have been my sign to take the dog for a long walk.
