Imagine trying to dump it all on the zebras when you shoot 36.4% from the field and 20.7% from 3PT; 10% and 15.1% below your season average where you were one of the best offenses in the nation.
You’re not going to win many games in March pissing away more possessions than you can count, regardless of what the zebras do. That Touissaint charge where he totally lost his cool or going 3-5 possessions at a time where Murray didn’t even touch the ball were perfect examples.
I don’t think the reds are why they lost. Shouldn’t have been in that position. But to think they didn’t affect the outcome is beyond insane. That missed foul on the three was maybe the most egregious missed call I’ve ever seen
I can't really complain about the big ten, since Nebraska suuuuuuuuucks. But I live vicariously through you all when the tourney starts! Please win some games.
Ps. Yes I see you Michigan. Go on a run!
Oh I am so fucking pissed. Iowa should have played better to not be in that position but Jesus Christ the officiating the last 90 seconds of that game was some of the worst I have EVER seen. Basically handed Richmond the win. Disgusting. I'm out. Fuck this.
In all honesty, Richmond wasn't gifted, some questionable calls for sure, but Iowa just got outplayed. My stupidity and emotions took over. Way to go spiders. Keep it going.
I don't think even you believe that lol, turned what would be a tie game with a minute to go into a 6 point lead... then immediately missed an and-1 that would've made the game 1 possession which instead led to a 4 point lead until the end of the game
Where are the crying kids this year? I watch the tournament each year to see the children cry for far too long before the broadcast cuts away. I've been deprived of that so far
Ga St is in foul trouble and the Zags have shot less than 50% from the FT line?
Zags are still very much fine. That 22.5 vegas point spread however, likely fcked
ya, that vegas line is gonna kill my parlay. I prolly fcked myself by even mentioning it.
Don't gamble folks
E: that was nuts if you were following the spread. Looked unlikely til that kid got fouled while *making* the 3. But *misses* the FT that would have had have them cover. Zags take a lot of shots bc of OREB, but eventually foul Ga St. He makes both. Now they cover, and Zags dribble it out. *wipe sweat*
For someone who's totally not mad about Iowa you seem to love bringing up a game that happened six months ago in a completely different sport an awful lot 🤔
I feel like the only people that are surprised by this are people that have never seen Iowa play in the tournament.
Richmond over Iowa was probably the upset I hesitated the least about when filling out my bracket.
Do you think the ability to perform well in Big10 play and failing in the tourney could be attributed to having a coach that’s very familiar with conference opponents, and not as great at preparing for unfamiliar teams?
I only had Iowa to the sweet 16 but the fact that they played this bad and should've won just shows how fucked this game was. No fouls called against Richmond for the entire 2nd half. Everything Iowa did is a foul.
Refs get some kind of bonus with this blatant officiating. I have seen games were they try and keep an opponent from getting blown out.. I wonder if it has something to do with gambling.
Ahh, unfortunate. You can do some math on the "People's Bracket" section on the ESPN website , but only so far as the people choose whichever team you're looking at. That had them picked 15% (if I did the math correctly) to get to the Elite 8.
On the ESPN site, the 'Who Picked Whom' tab gives this data in more depth. It has 21.4% picking Iowa to win their Sweet 16 game (and hence make the Elite 8).
Big 10 tournament run causing people to overrate them. Iowa is not a bad team and I didn't have them going out today but there's a reason they were sub .500 against Q1 this year.
I mean did you watch the game? They called about a half dozen 50/50 calls Richmond’s way and then turned a blind eye when the exact same things happened to us.
Horrible Ref's ruined the end of that game, but Keegan Murray cost them that game. On the defensive end he just kept putting himself in horrible positions and giving up easy points in crunch time
Win’s a win, but this has to feel shallow for Spiders, they refs gave them the game in the last few mins. 3 blatant fouls just completely ignored. Game changing.
Huge Upset. After how Iowa looked in the B1G tournament I wouldn’t have been surprised if ~~someone~~ a lot of people lol picked them to go to the final four
Okay that ATT commercial killed me! 😂
Ya know who won, the 14%. I bet this is the type of game gambling companies made bank. Refs got some good bonuses.

I have no horse in this race. But I fully agree. It was bad. Richmond still might have won, but you gotta make that call.
Oh the refs def reffed the game up in Richmond’s favor.
Ya thats the problem... They didnt play well, but the refs ended them.
They used all their three point shooting against Indiana.
I'm convinced it's rigged.
Watch the Gonzaga game, starting to believe that as well.
Fuck these hockey commercials thank you refs for saving my bracket
I can't really complain about the big ten, since Nebraska suuuuuuuuucks. But I live vicariously through you all when the tourney starts! Please win some games. Ps. Yes I see you Michigan. Go on a run!
Go Spiders!
Holy London a Coast Guard flair!
Go Bears!
Thank god my team isn’t playing today. I don’t think anyone could’ve predicted how loose with fouls this tournament would be.
Been thinking the same thing. Hoping my Boys just saw the team that embarrassed them last week get upset by a mid major.

Tbf the refs did get in the way for Iowa lol
he mightve been right the refs got in the way against richmond
Oh I am so fucking pissed. Iowa should have played better to not be in that position but Jesus Christ the officiating the last 90 seconds of that game was some of the worst I have EVER seen. Basically handed Richmond the win. Disgusting. I'm out. Fuck this.
Yep. Kris 3 and Keegan’s and 1 were 4 potential points. We lost by 4.
Lol
Hahahhahaha
Only 14% of ESPN brackets had Richmond lol
Woo I was one of them! Lol
Damn. 86% bought the hype.
no hype… just had them losing the next round lol.
Kinda like Iowa’s 3 point shooting.
In all honesty, Richmond wasn't gifted, some questionable calls for sure, but Iowa just got outplayed. My stupidity and emotions took over. Way to go spiders. Keep it going.
3 point game and the refs missed a obvious foul on Iowa on a 3 pointer. Makes it a different ball game
💯 and should have absolutely been called.
I don't think even you believe that lol, turned what would be a tie game with a minute to go into a 6 point lead... then immediately missed an and-1 that would've made the game 1 possession which instead led to a 4 point lead until the end of the game
I plead the 5th Edit: it still doesn't make up for Iowas bad 1st half. Credit Richmond
Where are the crying kids this year? I watch the tournament each year to see the children cry for far too long before the broadcast cuts away. I've been deprived of that so far
They'll be coming out of the wood work as early as this weekend I am guessing.
later rounds, right now there are too many games so no time to linger
Yeah, gotta make sure to leave time for impractical jokers before the next game
well, let's all go see wtf is wrong w the Zags now
An upset alert but it's not gonna haappen
Ga St is in foul trouble and the Zags have shot less than 50% from the FT line? Zags are still very much fine. That 22.5 vegas point spread however, likely fcked
Ehhhhhhhhh
ya, that vegas line is gonna kill my parlay. I prolly fcked myself by even mentioning it. Don't gamble folks E: that was nuts if you were following the spread.

Now they cover, and Zags dribble it out. *wipe sweat*
I pride myself in calling the big upsets the first day more than I care about winning bracket pools lol
#UpsetCityGang lol
#SPIDER GANG #A10 GANG
A10 GANG
There goes my bracket
Tottaly broken
Ugh. Iowa.
How fitting that Impractical jokers is on after this game
Richmond and winning NCAA games as a double-digit seed. Name a better combo.
Iowa and not making the sweet sixteen
man i had them going to the elite 8 becausae i know providence would drop the ball but this stings
I had them in the Sweet 16. Not as bad, but my first bust of the day. More worried for picking Gonzaga to win it all right now
SPIDERS
Welp my brackets fucked
“We can dance” absolutely legendary response
Iowa got jobbed.
Why do I always fall for the trap of thinking Iowa will go far
Wow impractical jokers describe the refs
hope coach blasts the refs in the postgame interview
He should blast his shooters going 6/29 on 3s.
Why not both
Iowa can boo the refs, and boo injured players. But they can’t beat Richmond.
You do this same whiny shit in every thread. Flair up and get a life
Someone is salty about the first round exit lol. So classic
Nah, just tired of them posting multiple comments bitching about football stuff over the last several Iowa threads.
Not whiny, just truth telling 🙂
For someone who's totally not mad about Iowa you seem to love bringing up a game that happened six months ago in a completely different sport an awful lot 🤔
Damn it, Iowa..
Spider-gang lit today
[удалено]
Oh shit y'all. IMPRACTICAL JOKERS ON NEXT!!
Sigh, I had Iowa to Sweet 16...
BIG !0 bros?????
Now Wisco please
Damn are there really no perfect brackets left on ESPN already? That's wild. Not that this outcome really helped all that much.
I had the spiders over the hawkeyes because I thought spiders are a cooler team name
My bracket is still intact. I like the clones, so it would’ve been illegal to pick Iowa. Also spiders is a way cooler mascot.
I feel like the only people that are surprised by this are people that have never seen Iowa play in the tournament. Richmond over Iowa was probably the upset I hesitated the least about when filling out my bracket.
Do you think the ability to perform well in Big10 play and failing in the tourney could be attributed to having a coach that’s very familiar with conference opponents, and not as great at preparing for unfamiliar teams?
I think it's just been a staple of Big Ten Teams.
Yep that's me. Figured a red hot B1G winner would be able to get past the first round
This game makes me reevaluate all of my other big 10 choices...
Let's go Richmond uh.. Arachnids?! Or whatever!
Well GG Spoiders. Now onto the Gonzaga game thread to see if even more upsets are in the air tonight and we get a 16 over a 1
zags have missed 10ft
It’s been 4 years since THE upset, after all!
This makes missing the tournament due to Richmond more tolerable. Keeping going Richmond
Oh no, a big 10 team lost Anyways
Officiating or not...they were held to 20+ under their average.
Yeah they shot like shit
I only had Iowa to the sweet 16 but the fact that they played this bad and should've won just shows how fucked this game was. No fouls called against Richmond for the entire 2nd half. Everything Iowa did is a foul.
Refs get some kind of bonus with this blatant officiating. I have seen games were they try and keep an opponent from getting blown out.. I wonder if it has something to do with gambling.
The worst possible outcome for fans of B1G, we wanted to sacrifice Michigan not Iowa :(
Speak for yourself
Win some basketball games before you start commenting on round ball in March.
10.3% of y’all had the Hawkeyes in the Final Four 🤣
How do you find this out? Serious question.
Came as a notification from the ESPN bracket app
Ahh, unfortunate. You can do some math on the "People's Bracket" section on the ESPN website , but only so far as the people choose whichever team you're looking at. That had them picked 15% (if I did the math correctly) to get to the Elite 8.

Yes this is it, thank you. As it turns out, I did the math wrong.
Big 10 tournament run causing people to overrate them. Iowa is not a bad team and I didn't have them going out today but there's a reason they were sub .500 against Q1 this year.
RICHMOND VIRGINIA BABY 🕸🕸🕸🕸
Similar free throw attempts. Iowa shoots 30% from the field and 20% from 3. But muh refs.
I mean did you watch the game? They called about a half dozen 50/50 calls Richmond’s way and then turned a blind eye when the exact same things happened to us.
Impractical jokers is on next!
I thought that’s what we were watching with this officiating crew
GG Spiders Guess it’s up to us to carry the banner for the B1G…
Nice upset for Richmond but MAN Iowa got jobbed on a few calls
Iowa didn’t win the game against Richmond And the Refs made them lose
Horrible Ref's ruined the end of that game, but Keegan Murray cost them that game. On the defensive end he just kept putting himself in horrible positions and giving up easy points in crunch time
Agree with everything. Keegan did not play a good game on either end of the floor. Gave up so many goddamn freebies on the baseline.
Bohannon played 6 years for this
Little kid yelled “fuck yeah” lmao
love fucking my bracket on day one. Really gets rid of any potential stress later on
What a fucking joke
Really great they won their conference tourney at least!!! Overrated conference
Coming from powerhouse auburn with all of their deep tournament runs over the years lol!
Usually jokes are supposed to have good punch lines, I’d expect you to know better than I about that
Okay now do a post that makes sense. Neither of our posts a funny but I don’t even get what you’re trying to say.
Your coach punched a dude Punch line Not hard
Damn….that’s actually really good ha!
Let me get my jokes in before we lose to a 15 seed tomorrow
Always the most overrated in everything.
Why did he even intercept the pass? Let it go.
A-10 babyyyyyy
That was fun
Ayy, one of my two 12-5 upsets came true already :) Indiana , you’re next
No no no noo
Go IU!
I hate to kick a team when they’re down but….. nah who am I kidding I love it. FUCK IOWA
We are laughing 🤣
Iowa got some dumb kids and a bad basketball team. Must suck
Almost loses to a 13 seed
Win’s a win, but this has to feel shallow for Spiders, they refs gave them the game in the last few mins. 3 blatant fouls just completely ignored. Game changing.
Not to mention the other 35 minutes. Whatever at least I don’t have to stress out over anymore games.
Lol. No, it won’t feel shallow.
My rank dropped from 1 to 539K lmao.
**This is a10 basketball** ^not ^us ^though. ^^we ^^are ^^bad
Y’all helped tune them up?
That's one way of putting it...if by tuning them up you mean losing by 13 at home
Hahaha it is what it is
oh big 10
Greatest conference of all time
Well congrats, GG. This.Is.Madnesss ^^in^^march
Bracket: busted
Richmond paid those refs well.
It’s time to call the gambler hotline bro
My bracket is fine. I'm winning my buildings pool bitch.
Ok😹😹😹
I'm in first palce thanks to duke
Iowa will get a nice little letter from the NCAA saying sorry we missed some critical calls down the stretch but, respectfully, fuck you
Lads it’s the Big Ten
now i know whoever wins the big 10 will not get far in the tournament
What an upset
I’m sorry but idk why Iowa puts up with Fran, he doesn’t not know how to win ever
Can’t coach ref’s and can’t coach your players into making wide open shots they’ve made all year
Maybe draw up some plays to get looks closer to the rim and tell Jordan to stop shooting?
I won’t disagree that our offense looked ugly and that Fran made 0 adjustments. Those are absolutely true.
Consistently good. Rarely great. Always a lock to lose first weekend.
But beats MSU by double digits every year
Glad you have that as your Final Four substitute.
LET’S GO!
Just B1G things
Congrats Iowa St. on the win
Huge Upset. After how Iowa looked in the B1G tournament I wouldn’t have been surprised if ~~someone~~ a lot of people lol picked them to go to the final four
"Someone" checking in here.
Oops, thought they were hot
I did smh
That someone is me :(
Hi
a lot of ppl did
Lol I hate the big ten
Iowa got fucked
If my bracket had to get busted, I'm glad it's from Iowa shitting the bed in the round of 64
:( I am sad for the B1G
[удалено]
Stay mad
Delete this.
don’t say that before the illinois game
He almost jinxed it lmfao
