At the conclusion of last night’s Iowa-North Dakota game, resident Big Ten baby-man Fran McCaffery lost his mind when North Dakota stole the ball from an Iowa player in the backcourt with just seconds remaining in an 11-point game and tried to beat the buzzer. After the buzzer, he lost his class, ordering his players to leave the floor without shaking hands with the North Dakota players and staff.
Essentially, McCaffery said, “we’re not going to shake your hands because you played until the final buzzer.” After the game he said that he took umbrage with North Dakota’s physical play that continued after the outcome of the game was decided, suggesting that he felt their play, specifically the last play, was dirty.
