I dunno. I get the point about player development, but I'm not sure this team is even capable of being 'fun bad.'

I say that, and then Malcolm gets slapped in the head on the final layup with no call.
I dunno. About half of the travel calls on each team looked iffy to my untrained eye.

First half thoughts...
Refs are pretty bad. Most calls going Iowa's way.
Tate looks BAD today.l
Morgan seems to be struggling. No hands for catching passes.
TJL looks pretty decent but is making some passes that are REALLY close to being bad.
JCL offense is pretty weak today, but his D has stepped up.
JCL needs to develop a better handle. He looks bad dribbling today.
Our outside shooting is pitiful. Did Finke even take a shot in the 1st half?

Agreed, great to be in this one at halftime despite the huge scoring drought. The defense deserves credit (along with Iowa's mediocrity). I'm happy we're within range.

They really do.
I'm not going to get my hopes up, though. We can't score, and we're due for a big Iowa run.

Is it bad for me to think that Malcom travels a lot? He does it with confidence on moves towards the basket (Pro style), so it never really gets called. Am I wrong?
YEP! You are wrong.

I'm going to ask again because I'm curious and didn't get an answer before: does anyone know what the little bumps are on the back of the Iowa players under their jerseys where their names are?
It's braille. One of their players is blind, so he uses that to help figure out who is on the court.

Thought you couldn't get a timeout in the air anymore
This press is giving me Dr. Tom flashbacks. Gimme a bounce pass.

Lol. Both teams are playing like a majority of their players are blind.
I think his foot was on the floor. Just sort of losing his balance out of bounds.

Wasn't in the air when the ref credited the timeout
And this is Illinois basketball!!!
