I thought coming into this game 3s and frees (FT) would be the difference. ISU made their 3s. Wow. It’s been a long time since I’ve seen an ISU shoot that well. ISU did a great job using their athleticism to get to the FT line and made their FT. 16-22 to be exact. Were I think ISU lost the game is rebounding and fouling. We gave up 17 offensive rebounds and UW shot 32 FT.
As far as officiating, I thought it was poor both ways. Losing Reeves and Chatman at the end hurt, but UW could make the argument that when they were up 18 in the second half, UW was whistled for 5 touch fouls in a minute, putting ISU in the bonus for the last 15 minutes of the game. Wisely, ISU used that to their advantage. ISU did a great job on Brad Davison and Johnny Davison. They got beat inside by Crowl, Wahl, and Vogt.
No one likes moral victories, but ISU just put the valley on f***ing notice. Dan has a nice athletic team. It’s now or never Dan. Kudos to UW for having the balls to play us, as opposed to those pussies from Champaign.
