Game ball to USC freshman for stealing defeat from the jaws of victory by stupidly fouling Stirtz with :04.2 left.
I hope I never get to witness a player COMPLETELY OWN Iowa like Woods did tonight…
Best you can say is we found a way to win after playing poorly for at least half the game.
I’m attributing it to shaking off the rust the first 10 minutes and not in focused mentally the last 10 minutes.

The middle 20 minutes were pretty good.
Kam Woods played for 5 schools in 5 years.. it was almost written in the stars for him to ruin our night on this very night. Luckily he came up short when it mattered.
Boy we lucked that one out.
We’re a pretty good team. Wish we had a big.
Well that and allowing 26 yr old men and guys who have played for 5 different teams to play ball against teenagers. Crazy stuff. And the announcers, Yea, dudes 26, he was in the class of 2019! Good Lord, hardly something to celebrate that its come to this.
It’s dirty for sure…but no one will remember in March (thank God).
Iowa needs a hall of fame for opposing players that turn NBA all star out of nowhere.
If the NCAA actually enforced clear rules, we wouldn’t be dealing with a situation where a kid can transfer to five different schools in five years.
He was pretty brutal tonight. Not giving up on him, but probably needs to come off the bench.
Can't pass up that late 3 with the shot clock running out
If there is anything I have learned from the Ashton Kutcher documentary The Butterfly Effect is that Cooper passing up on that three might have been why Iowa won.
Lafester Rhodes. Hey, maybe plan something for this. A ****** coaching job tonight.
Ben needs to figure out these situations when there's just one guy killing us. Something has to be done defensively to stop it. That guy single handedly got them back in the game. It's like how Purdue's PG saved the day.
But I'm just glad we beat those So Cal douche bags.

Maybe another ‘learning moment’!?!
SC has zero guard play (obviously besides Woods), IMHO they are NIT bound…
Looks like his confidence has dropped some but that pump fake was fine but you gotta drive that to the rim or pull up for a short jumper with shot clock where it was. He did last thing you want to do pass it back to AF.
Not saying Iowa played great defense on that last USC shot or anything, but in the Fran era, that shot goes in 9/10 times.
Here's hoping the Hawks will be fully back in 'game shape' this weekend because while I know its a road game, Iowa can not lose Sunday at Oregon.
The Ducks are down personnel-wise and are 1-8 in the conference standings.
That will be seen as another "bad loss", joining the @ MINN result.

McCollum needs to learn from this game.
Still can't believe they fouled with 4 seconds left. This is just one of those wins where you feel kind of empty. The comeback and lead we built was amazing, but the last 10 minutes was beyond miserable.
I wonder if Cam M (10 minutes) and Sage (12 minutes) were under the weather. If not, either would have been better options at the end of the game I would think.
Ever since the Lute Olson era that shot is going in 9/10 times lol...
