Not concerned about losing a 1 seed, but I can't shake the feeling that we're going to see Iowa in the Elite 8. 

Gun to my head I’m more concerned with Maryland more.

my top 3 big ten is

1. Hoosiers (da hero’s)

2.Maryland 

3.Iowa

No use crying over spilt milk -- but hey, that's what we fans do ... LOL. 

Not only to we have an illegal screen on Monika "Biff" Czinano, but Clark traveled. 

Oh, well -- let the little birdies have their win. Hoping we see 'em again.

Wonder if Dave O'Brien and Rebecca Lobo are still talking about Clark???

It’s damn good to be the champs though!

Might be a blessing in disguise. Get refocused for the tournament run

3 game big ten tournament season and then 6 game March Madness season. 
Long shot but maybe not that long to see 2 big ten teams in final 4 or in National Championship game.  Or otherwise.  Is big ten as good as T. Moren has said?

They call an immediate timeout and get the ball inbounded at mid-court and now they only need a 2 to win.  I'll take the made free throw and the 2-point lead.

Hindsight is useless.  Another option in a time out…Before second ft would for Holmes to have thrown ball hard off the rim on second ft to create a helter skelter scramble for the ball as time ran out.  Plus it may have caught Iowa off guard.  However, hindsight is useless.

Also thought it was a great game. Didn't think Holmes deserved the travel call which she didn't get. I thought the free throws she hit were big time. Lucky prayer wins. It happens

Aside from wrestling, I've never been able to figure out the appeal of Iowa for any athlete. Their basketball teams seem to like a fast-paced, high-scoring, chaotic style, and they do seem to be competitive in a lot of sports. I have no idea how they get the football players they do when they're still running a 20th century offense and always choke in big games.

Thanks for the reply. This thread should officially be renamed the iowa sucks and should never be relevant ever in any sport thread

Seemed like a completely legal screen. I'm not sure what CMM was doing, she goofed. All she had to do was take a good angle. CC was always going to go back to the ball. Meh.

Agree.  However, I think last winning plays are always way over hyped.  Yes, they are fun for the winners.  In this case be ahead by 4 or 5 points and it doesn’t matter.  
Like T. Moren stated it’s never one play (at end of game in this case).  It’s plays during game.  Iowa only had 7 turnovers and probably played at least as good if not better defense than IU plus IU let Iowa get to comfortable with 3 ball.  A couple plays that come to mind Parrish passed up a 3 ball (Parrish had hot hand) to pass to Berger that resulted in turnover and also threw a pass that led to Iowa steal….Though Parrish had a really good game…Parrish has ability (next year) and probably this year (confidence) to help Holmes take over a game.  I think you will see that next year.  In this game didn’t get enough from Scalia.

Overall eye test, IU Ladies basketball are a better team than Iowa.

For sure they are. 

I think Iowa having a player avg 7, go for 20 was probably the biggest "game within the game".

To me, seemed like a complete illegal screen. Maybe CMM could've taken a slightly better angle, but she got hip-checked. Czinano didn't have the angle, so stepped into her. There's no way in hell that will get called with 1.5 seconds to play, though.

She's completely set and doesn't have her hip out. I thought live it was an illegal until I rewound the feed. Just cannot allow yourself to be screened so easily, if you're CMM.

She's not completely set and moved into her. It's quite obvious. Guess we'll just disagree on this.
