Those officials would have given ISU free throws if we breathed on them during that sequence.saucebob said:bear2be2 said:
Great possession.
Sucks to give up a banked-in 3 at the buzzer.
No excuse in letting him dribble across half court uncontested.

Drew said we were 3 possessions away in 3 games from being #1 in the country.

Walter 0-5 from the field. The basket must look like a thimble to him right now.
I know at some point he will get him self back on track. Hopefully it's soon.

Every conference game for us has been a blood pressure raising nail biting experience.
Basketball gods...can please have one comfortable win right here??

Slightly different spelling in German, but close enough!

Yeah, I'm not going to blame the defense when a guy banks in a 25- or 26-foot 3-pointer against a strong contest.DanaDane said:
And we could just as easily fouled them while molesting them, then he'd be at the free throw line with a much higher percentage shot than the one he took.
Chalk that up to a luck shot. The kid is a 25% shooter from even normal 3 point range. Drew played the correct percentages.
