The defense was amazing for Northern Iowa even at the FT line. Northern had 17 more free throws in the game too. All recipes for a loss. Good win, Northern Iowa.
Part of the fact that we had more free throws was your bigs couldn't handle Koch on the block so they resorted to fouling him. Now I will admit that the game was very poorly officiated on both ends. It was terribly inconsistent.
Yeah I wasn't calling out bad refs or anything. Bola does foul way too much and Ibby can't play defense half as well as Bola. Just very clear why your team won the game. Poor shooting and couldn't keep you off the line. Enough said. Hope we don't meet up in the tourney.
