Illinois outplayed Iowa over the final eight minutes to win tonight, no doubt, but the one-sided (and atrociously bad) officiating that went against Iowa in the first half and throughout the early part of the second half kept this game close. That’s what’s most frustrating.
2 things can be true. 1. Illinois made plays down the stretch to win. 2. the officiating was horrendous and incredibly below what you’d expect for an Elite 8 game.
Not a peep from Caitlin Clark regarding the Men’s run to the Elite 8. Current and former Hawkeye athletes from all sports have been voicing their support, yet not a word from the most famous athlete of them all. Wonder why that is??
Disappointing.
Ben McCollum just beat Todd Golden with 1 pro (who went 0-9 from 3) and a bunch of plumbers. Don’t talk to me about the best coach in the country again
