U.Va. takes the lead 71-70 -- 1:30 to  play. 

[LamarCheeks 18,827]

And 32-year-old Jordan Bohannon replies with a 3 -- Iowa 73-71

[LamarCheeks 18,827]

And Clark answers -- U.Va. 74-73. My head is spinning.

Should be tied I think his foot was on the line

Just backed it up -- he was a good 2 inches behind the line.

Virginia has a player with 14 points and he hit 2 huge threes down the stretch. He is a freshman who averages less than 1 ppg 

would piss me off if I was an Iowa fan

Iowa won the game with a block...wut!?!

[LamarCheeks 18,827]

Iowa wins 75-74. 

Did not like that last possession by U.Va. One guy brings it up and takes it all the way. IMO -- makes it too easy to defend (although he did get a decent shot off).

Big Ten:1

ACC: 0

Imagine fighting your way back into this game only to get beat by a Joe Tussiant floater.  Iowa wins it

That was such a good decision by Toussaint. Franklin and Shedrick played it perfectly. Most guys rush and  either take it into the defender or go to the baseline for a pretty much unmakeable shot. But that little hesitation getting Shedrick to drop was awesome.

Yeah, that’s tough! Armaan was 0-4 from down town tonight as well. For the year, he’s 11 for 42. Good for 26%…sheesh!

Kid isn’t a natural shooter I’ve always contended that.  He definitely had a few games last year where he couldn’t miss. But he had just as many terrible games. At best I would call him a streaky shooter which is fine if you don’t need him to be hitting then except off the bench. Not a guy I would want to be starting

100% - I recall the prep debate b/w Franklin & Brandon Newman a few years back, and I was hopeful we would ultimately land Newman purely on his shooting acumen at the time.  There was a narrative circulating that Franklin may have been a bit closer with TJD so that may have influenced the previous staff's focus & prioritization.

I followed Newman from his sophomore year on and saw him play multiple times in high school.  The truth is Newman wasn't a natural shooter either......but he worked his way into being one.  The leap he made from his sophomore to junior year was incredible.  As a sophomore his perimeter game was subpar.  He was money from there as a junior.

Gonzaga struggles with Tarleton tonight...64-55.  Game was a one possession game with 5 minutes left.  Then the Zags took control.  Tarleton's tallest starting player was 6'6".   Not great for the Zags resume.

I'd love to see more schools do this

That Iowa v Virginia game was bananas. Illinois clips ND rather easily. Prentiss Hubb has lost it. This ND team is old, experienced and still not very good. No answer for Kofi, as many will also find out.

B1G 2-0
