Wow, I just got back from the game. That was a really fun game to watch. Good college basketball game.
I think there are three reason that we lost:
1. We never doubled Brackins and played him one on one the whole game and he got whatever he wanted. I can't figure out why we did not adjust to this the whole game.
Never is a stretch, but they sure didn't do it often. Looked like that was your gameplan, though
2. The officiating inside. It was impossible to play D in the post without getting some crap foul called. They called TONS of ticky tack fouls on us inside while the ISU guards were pushing off the entire game.
Refs called the game equally bad for both teams, IMO. Of course, had ISU lost I'd probably be saying the same thing you are.
3. Three point shooting. They just would NOT fall for us. Dammit. Good looks too. Good shooters. Can't believe they just would not fall.
Didn't fall for ISU either.
I really thought that the Panthers outplayed the Cyclones tonight. We just shot horrible from 3. That is a big part of our game. If just a couple more of those fall, we win easily.
I think ISU barely outplayed UNI. UNI looked disorganized at times.
Good game by the Cyclones. Good job down the stretch. Good luck the rest of the year.
