Fortunately he will
Felt like combs stayed on too long. But 2x we let them roll it up and he scores with a foul. 3 and 4 sec possessions. You need to have guy guarding inbounder come up so he has to pick it up and not roll past half court. Then Howard went on him but when he doubled on the 26 yr old guy I was like can’t do that with the hot hand no matter what he was shooting for 3 coming in and just made 1 earlier. The late foul cam had under a min was bone headed too on him
If the courts let them enforce the rules........
This game got us to 5-4 in conference. Tough conference when you see that we're only 3.5 games out of first place, with 8 teams above us in the standings.
Remember that all time great Lafester Rhodes, who scored 54 points in a 102-100 OT loss?
Yup, that was the kiss of death if you are a SC fan…
This is why we invited the west coast teams into the Big.
To beat Wisconsin and lose to Iowa.
unfortunately, yes as it was unbelievable
Koch needs his balls to drop. He has a wide open 3 with 7 seconds left on the shot clock with just over a minute to go up 3 and he hesistates, pump fakes the defender closing by, and then takes a dribble and passes backwards to Fulguerias.
Their under 8 minute offense is straight trash.
Part of that is fatigue setting in from playing defense the way they do. Part of that is their reliance on Stirtz offensively, and our lack of size, which allows teams to pack things in and make us close games out by hitting 3s.
We built our lead knocking down some 3s, but we couldn't close the game out that way.
And then when officials decide to make the 2nd half shift to calling the games tighter, because THAT'S JUST WHAT THEY DO YA KNOW...........
.............Iowa's aggressive defense gets punished and we're forced to have to play back a bit more, and allow an already desperate team more space to attack and scramble to get back in games.I trust that Ben will figure it out.......but he does need to figure it out.
Combs to afraid to foul even though he had 4 inches on Woods
I'm surprised that so many people thought he wouldn't in general...................
The layoff was definitely a thing, but also USC is one of those teams you don't realize how tough they are to beat until you play them.
They got Wisconsin, and we were fortunate enough to survive.
Can I give a little shout out to Hausen?
Yeah, he missed his two long contested 3 chances, but that little dude showed some actual effort and zip on the D end in the minutes he had in the 1st half.
Hope that can get him some more minutes moving forward.
He isn't gonna miss all his looks from distance.

Agreed, I’m sure he will learn from it…part of it might also be lack of upper tier guard talent for now….BS definitely needs help….Dix would have made a nice combo, but alas…
Do you remember that game where Luka (I think) had 40+ points against Michigan, and we lost? They allowed Luka to get his and clamped everyone else.
Pockets would have lost this game, no doubt.
Maybe on Dix, would have preferred Pryce Sandfort instead.Agreed, I’m sure he will learn from it…part of it might also be lack of upper tier guard talent for now….BS definitely needs help….Dix would have made a nice combo, but alas…
(if Sandfort was as good while still at Iowa as has been @ Nebby)
I hope I never get to witness a player COMPLETELY OWN Iowa like Woods did tonight…
Not a player who averages 3 a game.I hope I never get to witness a player COMPLETELY OWN Iowa like Woods did tonight…
In the history of college basketball, that turn around has to rank up there….
I wish BH had half his leash. At least a opportunity,. And yes I know he was 0-2.
If they were under the weather again, maybe the team should have better hygiene habits.
You know, other than Woods going completely stupid out of his mind, Iowa did more than enough defensively to win tonight.
Woods plays more to his normal average tonight and Iowa wins by 20+.
One guy almost single-handedly beat the Hawks after they were up 17 mid-way through the 2nd half.
Sometimes you just gotta tip your hat to an opposing player and be very thankful your team survived a tremendous scare.

You doubt I give money to families, let them buy groceries, and then make them let me watch them eat to make sure they are using my money properly?
They say that truly giving people don't need to tell the world about it. Particularly on an anonymous internet chat board.
