Live Game Thread - Indiana vs Iowa B1G Tourney Semi

[Chicago-bound Hoosier]

We lost because we gave up 48 2H points and our guards could not make wide open looks. Plain and simple.

Absolutely true. Stewart gave us nothing today, I don’t even remember him out there most of the second half. Kopp got hot for a few seconds, but absolutely stunk up the place in the first half. I don’t see Iowa going far in the tourney, their offense is too one dimensional and their defense sucks. Murray has one bad night or gets in foul trouble and they’re done.
Galloway had a tough day out there as well.

 

[CriticArisen]

He didn't effin call the bank. What BS

 

[Hatchets7times]

It's a loss ..And sucks bigly.
But I believe we're heading to play somewhere Thursday or Friday.

 

[dbmhoosier]

We need more 6 year players. Preferably not descendants of the Clanton gang (30 shots, 29 misses, one horse.)
The anti-luck play was TJD’s partially blocked shot that went in anyway.

Now Ike, whatever do you mean?

 

[Zeester]

Great effort, TJD was awesome. X had a really good game overall. Thompson was totally spent and played great.

Then you get to Steward and Kopp... the difference.

 

[trailrunner]

They have shooters and we don’t

 

[Victorbmyboy]

He didn't effin call the bank. What BS

He did joke about it. He didn’t think it was good. Luck

 

[TomEric4756]

Pretty sure we will never win a BTT championship. It’s a curse period just like the last 15-20 years minus a few in between has been

This is still refreshing … wasn’t the typical result to lose the 1st game on Tuesday./Wed.

 

[Victorbmyboy]

Great effort, TJD was awesome. X had a really good game overall. Thompson was totally spent and played great.

Galloway was worse. Kopp played great D in a very long stretch against Murray.

 

[CriticArisen]

For a team with as close to zero 3 pt shooters as you can imagine they do damn well

 

[dbmhoosier]

We shouldn't be upset. Yeah we choked like a dog as usual but we should've lost to UM and could've easily lost to UI. We'll be dancing.

 

[bailey777]

I hate equality iowa. You just knew that shot was going in though. Unreal.

 

[Chicago-bound Hoosier]

Quick number crunch. We made two more field goals, and two more free throws than Iowa. That’s what three-point shooting will do to you

X been money from the FT, missed 1 all tourney. 13-14 I think

 

[McNutt76]

Let's send this Bohannon off with a loss in his last B1G game.

The refs stole the game from IU. I can't believe how they called cheap fouls on the Hoosiers and then didn't call fouls on Iowa for serious contact. TJD should have had a free throw when he hit the shot to tie the game with less than 30 seconds left in the game. Had he made the free throw, IU would have had the lead and Iowa wouldn't have taken the clock down to a few seconds before shooting the three. IU dominated the game statistically against Iowa.

Play that many close games in a row odds are you lose 1. Of course it's on some BS shot from grandpa Bohannen

Ehhh Race took out a few guys going after rebounds with no call. Officials called a poor game (shocker) but I don't think it was one-sided.

 

[Hoosierfan1901]

The most IU thing ever, losing to a bank shot

 

[Chicago-bound Hoosier]

The most IU thing ever, losing to a bank shot

Our brethren to the north lost a share of the Big Ten championship on consecutive bank shots, so it’s not just us. Still it sucks

 

[CriticArisen]

Galloway was worse. Kopp played great D in a very long stretch against Murray.

He only had 32 8/10 3's. If we had one wing player that could shoot

 

[bub-rub]

Ahh, so every loss is a choke, every win is a choke by the other team, and you guarantee Woodson will be out after next year.

Hello, Darkness, my old friend…

 

[Jg48]

It’s a shame after the way we played in the 2nd half against Michigan, all game against Illinois, and 37 minutes today. Two critical turnovers by X coming down the stretch, and a 30 foot bank shot. Tough way to lose.

Great effort today, though.

Kopp and Stewart are wasted positons. Both are slow and couldn't deliver a pizza. Impossible to win playing 3 on 5.

Hello, Darkness, my old friend…

When we're over 90% chance to win in the ESPN probability game after game yet we keep losing nearly all of them what do you call it?

Is there another team in the whole country that has pissed away as many games as IU has this season? I doubt it.

 

[Victorbmyboy]

He only had 32 8/10 3's. If we had one wing player that could shoot

He still stopped him fo a long stretch while guarding him. Race couldn’t. They traded off.

 

[SoccerSammy]

There are a lot of teams I would be downright pissed at for beating us like that. Iowa is not one of those teams. Their on court demeanor is very classy and our boys handles themselves with class today also. Keegan is just a stud. It's been a fun ride. Woody has instilled a championship level defense. Let's find some shooters and we'll see the top of the B1G in a couple years.

 

[Aloha Hoosier]

Hopefully the committee will say, "Let's let IU in. Luck got in their way".

It's over 90% certain that IU is in. A win today would have made it 100% and the team gave it their all. They get in tomorrow and all that matters is the next game.

 

[CriticArisen]

He still stopped him fo a long stretch while guarding him. Race couldn’t. They traded off.

Keegan is one hell of a player and with no dance routines. Just a solid player.

 

[Victorbmyboy]

He’s going to be a great wing in the NBA. Reminds me of Grainger with a little Reggie Miller. Hearing the Pacers love him.

 

[Aloha Hoosier]

I wouldn't attend a game with about half the people in this thread. The constant negativity would take all the joy out of it.

 

[Zeester]

Galloway was worse. Kopp played great D in a very long stretch against Murray.

Really? Think Murray had a fairly good game. Galloway brings a lot more than Kopp or Steward.

He didn’t today. Murray was eating race up. As soon as kopp switched on him he didn’t score for six minutes. Grant hill pointed it out. So don’t take my word for it.

This is correct. Race was on tired legs and Trey is still not 100% (groin) and on tired legs after being out for the stretch of games.
