Bucky within 1 on the Hepburn 3

Hepburn steals the ball and gets fouled. Bucky's ball.

Sloppy passing, by Bucky,  under the hoop causing turnovers. Ball handler would be better off driving to the hoop, rather than making  bad passes.

Bucky flirting with over and back violations moving the ball up court.

Play stopped due to Crowl bleeding all over the court. Crew cleans it up as Crowl sits.

Gilmore and Hepburn retake and add to the lead.

Some game.

Fran doing his best Fran….he was right too, a couple of real iffy calls.

Fran gets a T and he is livid! Bucky up by 5.

Fran McCaffrwy is an ass.

Bucky bad at the line.Crowl is tough on the boards.

Everybody on the ground after a free for all on a loose ball.

Missed FTs are hurting

Snatching defeat from the jaws of victory….still time tho

Poor possession leads to a made 2 point shot and a steal leads to a 3. Tie game with 9.4 to go.Time out Wisconsin

OT in Iowa City. Hepburn missed a short jumper. Anyone in red makes a FT, in regulation, this would be over.

Crowl hook for the lead.

Bucky needs FT practice

Hepburn steals it and gets fouled. Makes both FTs. Wahl steals the ball and gets fouled. Misses both FTs. Iowa a makes a 2 and Iowa calls TO, down by 1. 10.2 seconds left. Pass to Essegian, he slams it. Bucky up 3. 4 seconds left Iowa misses a 3 and Bucky wins it! Let me breathe!

Whew!

Defense wins it.

Wild game.

Nitpicking to the nth degree, but should Essegian just camp under the hoop at the end?  Are seconds more important than points?

Yes, or dribble to the corner.   Good win tho

I thought the same - just dribble around and burn the last 5 seconds.

They are certainly making the games interesting. Should have never went to overtime. Need to make free throws. Not sure how Iowa got a timeout without possession of the ball.
