The only way Iowa beats us is from threes. We relaxed in transition and Murray buries one, then leave Bohanon and he buries one. We made our bed in the last few minutes to be in that position. Good couple wins to get in the tourney but laid turds against Iowa again.

Little Fran with the made shot that TJD tipped + Bohannon with the fortunate banked in 3  pointer spelled the difference in this one.

I felt really good with our D on that last play. What are you going to do with a shot from that far.

 

We led by 9 with like 5 minutes left. It never should have been tied 

[JerryYeagley23 3,247]

Good run. We controlled that game from start to finish really. Lucky bank shot. Not much you can do. Biggest moment of the game I’m disappointed in is that long rebound Kopp got with 2:30 left and IU up three. He hoists it. Gotta pull that out. You’re a senior. You’re 2-11 from the field. Ugh. Shoulda coulda.

I think IU might be a 10 seed after this tournament....it was a fun run, this team is better than their record!

This one is on Woodson. You do a team a disservice when you don’t play your best guys.  

He plays who he has.  What should he do?  Play rob, xj, tjd, race, and ____ for 40 minutes?

My technologically-challenged mother called me and was so excited because she saw on her iPad IU was ahead 71-67 and thought that was the final score, not realizing there were still 3 minutes left. Kill me.

Regardless, IU far exceeded my expectations in this tourney. Get bitter and make some noise in the NCAA tourney

This. 
X is playing outstanding, we outplayed Iowa for 39 minutes, beat UM and Ill in games we had to win to make the tourney— now we’re tourney bound - let’s go!

Losing Jordan with an ACL injury is going to make this a long weekend. 

[bleedhoosier 3,627]

Remember when Fran should have had a technical, IU with 2 foul shots, 2 tech shots and ball back... but you see, they were up 5 already and that wouldn't work for the Vegas line

[Stuhoo 79,910]

GREAT GAME!

Love our team

Not that you can do much down 3 with 1.1 seconds to play and you have to go the length of he court -- but what was that! 

Our best bet was just to chuck it from beyond half-court? We just have no clue what to do in those situations. 

With that many timeouts i like to try and advance it to half court but it’s pretty much 1/10000 chance either way

Bates? I’d take Bates easy.

IU played a great game and got unlucky.  I'm not sure why there is so much complaining.

He should have pulled Galloway before he could on 3 straight possessions giving them 6 points

Is this confirmed 

[Hoosierfan2017 21,075]

That sucks. Outscored by 27 from 3. Trayce really stepped up in the BTT, though. 31/10 today. Xavier and Race too. Scored 62 of our 77 points.

Trey. At the very least give them more minutes.

Next year, yes.

Get ready to pick whoever plays Iowa for the upset in your bracket.  They just used all their luck.

Maybe, but they've strung together 3 pretty incredible games in this tourney.  But yeah, they're due for an off game.
