How in the heck are they still top ten in the AP? They lost 3 of 4 to unranked teams before today. Make it 4 of 5 now. Watch them drop to #10 or something ridiculous like that.
Lol at all those iowa fans who paid crazy money on stub hub for those tournament tickets in Wells Fargo thinking the Hoks were a lock for a top 3 seed. Doesn't look like they are going to land there now. Ha ha
Shh....we need to pretend like they are still going to be there. I've got a ticket for sale.
They were just lucky to catch MSU when they did. That would have been two more losses. But, of course, the hawks would won if they would have not screwed them with the no call on Uthoff. That was really too bad.
They're #22 in the only ranking that matters...and a great example of exactly why the RPI is the correct metric for the NCAA and should be used for tourney selection/seeding as opposed to AP/Kenpom.
Was that team at full strength when they beat them? Iowa was also in the top 10 3 pt % for a good chunk of the year. They are reverting to who they really are. Not great shooters, nobody with a killer instict and just not very talented.
Nevermind the horrible double technical that fouled out the OSU player when Woodpile threw him. Or the botched 3 pointer that they ruled a 2 somehow. If anything, OSU was getting screwed at the end of that game way more than Iowa.
That 3 pointer turned to a 2 when the video evidence looked like 3 is a call you usually only see Kansas get. Pretty shocking a name team like Ohio State gets that botched replay call at home.
If that is a one point game the officials literally would have fixed the game on a replay review.
I see that hawkeye nation popped up a Fran deserves to be fired thread... I found my evening reading material.
They are a good shooting team just not top ten like they were when they were winning in January.
