Ugh...

 

Iowa having the same problem as last year, closing out games.

 

This would be the fourth "heartbreak" loss if they don't close it out, along with Villanova, Iowa State and at Wisconsin. The only team that beat them soundly was Michigan in Ann Arbor.

 

We'll see what wins out, Iowa's depth/home court advantage/injuries to key MSU player or MSU's desperation to stay in the B10 title hunt.

If you can't beat MSU on your home floor with two of their top players out and superior depth in overtime, then you're not a legit B10 title contender.

 

Now the big question will be to see how Iowa responds at Illinois and at home against OSU the next couple of games.

That's about the furthest thing from a big question.

For an Iowa fan whose BB team has gone 8 seasons without an NCAA appearance, nothing is guaranteed this year until they get to 10 Big 10 conference wins.

Missed free throws have killed Iowa in their losses. Except for Michigan, the other losses easily could be wins.

 

Free throw shooting was supposed to be a strength, but a couple of guys have really gagged at the line down the stretch.

Meant to say other then the Michigan game, they should be undefeated. E.g., they should have only had 1 loss. Should have / would have / could have doesn't mean jack s***.

 

That works both ways though. Xavier was in control against Iowa with less than 10 minutes left and then Semaj Christon started having cramping issues and missed the rest of the game.
