Is it just me or has the Iowa Florida game set an all-time NCAA tournament record for bad haircuts?

TheodoreRex · Mar 22, 2026

Now I'm not sure what they are doing defensively either, goodness.

Most likely not going to happen because Florida woke up.

Iowa looks bad now. FLA has turned up the press.

PasadenaIllini · Mar 22, 2026

Officials definitely giving Stirtz the benefit of the doubt.

Florida getting mugged repeatedly on the other end without a call.

When’s the last time you’ve rooted for Iowa?

Florida might win this game by double digits.

They also might not...

SCottm · Mar 22, 2026

You’ve got 4 fouls to give, length of the floor to go and you foul so quickly the first two times that only 2.5 seconds go off the clock…and you lose at the buzzer. Don’t tell me that $elf is a great Xs and Os coach.

He has never been accused of being a good tactician.

That was off Haugh.

TheodoreRex · Mar 22, 2026

Clearly off Florida- how did one of the other officials not see that?

Jimbo · Mar 22, 2026

That has to be Iowa ball.

What is this rooting for Iowa that you speak of?

Retro62 · Mar 22, 2026

They have to give that ball to Iowa.

Well...I don't hate Iowa...or Indiana...or Wisconsin. I truly do not hate any other schools and their programs.

That said, it goes without saying that it is OK to join me in hating all things Michigan....the slimiest of all slime balls. Play on.

Ummmm, Iowa and Indinia are just as worthy of your hate as scUM.
Just saying.

Iloveorangekoolaid · Mar 22, 2026

It’s dumb they had to use a challenge on that. Down to 1 now. One of the other refs had to see what happened

Retro62 · Mar 22, 2026

Is it a hook and hold if it’s the leg?

KC-ILL · Mar 22, 2026

Finally the first tackle call on FL??

BrimfieldBomber · Mar 22, 2026

Can you hook/hold a leg? Cause that was intentional.

Fly Illini Fly! · Mar 22, 2026

Horrible sequence. Missed 1 and 1 and foul on rebound.

FoundersClub · Mar 22, 2026

That’s a suspect call at best

foby · Mar 22, 2026

refs trying hard

The Galloping Ghost · Mar 22, 2026

Iowa is really making this as excruciating as possible. Because of course they are...

PasadenaIllini · Mar 22, 2026

Officiating leaving a lot to be desired this game. Very inconsistent definition of what a foul is.

foby · Mar 22, 2026

stirtz with a nightmare game and they are still in it

Fly Illini Fly! · Mar 22, 2026

2 missed front ends of 1 and 1s. Absolutely brutal sequence.
