Refs are trying to screw Iowa now. The SEC officiating fix is ridiculous.

Iowa’s had to challenge two out of bounds calls due to referee incompetence. Now they have no more challenges.

Wow Iowa….. should we have hired McCollum??? The next 4.5 seconds will determine this answer for me definitively.

I hate that Florida gets a free timeout here. Keep the teams at midcourt during a review under 1 minute if one team doesn’t have a timeout

Kansas and Florida losing doesn’t make this a good day, but I don’t hate it…

Yes but you see he won a Ro32 matchup in his first year, the only objective measure of year one coaching success. I’m sorry, but my hands are tied in my assessment here.

He’s trying, but all the women in that stadium are too old for him

Lmao if we hired another guy with sub 350 tempo the fan base would’ve rioted. That being said, they made it further than us with much less resources. (But I thought slow teams can’t win in March!)

dont think its “much” less. STIRTZ and Alvaro probably cost a fortune. Iowa was right there with us offering De Ridder big money

Getting to bring along Stirtz is a huge advantage too. NBA level player who’s been in your offense for multiple years and can run it to start you out is basically the dream.

Still less. He never would’ve left the Midwest so it doesn’t matter but he’s a coach that has the ability to out coach other guys with schemes and planning and in game execution. Really impressive to beat Florida

Yea maybe I’m naive but my guess is they got Stirtz at a discount
