All of Iowa’s struggles this season seemed to culminate in one game. Turnovers. Poor shooting. A lack of clutch at the line. Mind-boggling defense.
Even though Iowa played close games against tourney-bound teams like Minnesota and Maryland, this one to me hurts the most.
Both teams came out outstandingly flat in the first half despite both enjoying a week of rest and practice. The score was 29-25 Iowa at half despite the Hawkeyes shooting 50 percent from the field. Iowa committed 11 turnovers in the first frame, so it basically the reverse from the Michigan State game a week ago.
