Don’t blame the refs for Iowa basketball‘s loss. Well, at least not completely.
The Iowa Hawkeyes (14-11, 6-6 B10) had their chances to beat Minnesota (17-7, 5-6 B10) on Wednesday night in their 101-89 double overtime loss. The Hawkeyes shot just 40 percent from the field and 34.6 percent from three. Also, they turned the ball over 18 times, committed 26 fouls and Minnesota blocked 14 shots.
Plus, their poor first half forced them into a 14-point hole in the second half. The Hawkeyes trailed 40-29 at halftime and allowed Minnesota to shoot 45 percent from the field and 46 percent from three.
