Iowa Vs Wichita State Basketball

Alright I am going to break down the key possesions in this game at this point Iowa has trailed since the Shockers took the lead and we have finally cut the lead to 7 after an Eric May 3 pointer.

WSU first possesion 49 to 42 We force Hannah into a difficult shot which he misses but Cole has the rebound slip right through his hands and Hannah picks it up and scores
51 to 42

Iowa first possesion 51 to 42 May is short on an open 3 but it was a good shot that he had confidence after just making one so still down by 9

WSU 2nd possesion Payne gets his 3rd foul and then a jump ball keeps it with the Shockers. Murray misses a 3 but another offensive rebound they do turn the ball over so the score is still 51 to 42

Iowa 2nd possesion 51 to 42 May drives to the basket and gets fouled goes to the line and makes a pair of free throws so we are now down by 7 51 to 44 right in this game.

WSU 3rd possesion They turn the ball over so still 51 to 44

Iowa 3rd possesion 51 to 44 on a 14 to 5 run Tucker tries to drive and travels bad turnover he had no where to go on the play.

WSU 4th possesion 51 to 44 We get another defensive stop still 51 to 44

Iowa 4th possesion 51 to 44 Payne has the ball stolen from him

WSU 5th possesion 51 to 44 Murray hits an open shot for them 53 to 44

Iowa 5th possesion May hits an open jumper inside the free throw line set up on the assist by Payne 53 to 46

WSU 6th possesion 53 to 46 Murray and 1 looked like Cole got there to take the charge especially since Murray lowered the shoulder so 55 to 46 he misses the free throw

Iowa 6th possesion 55 to 46  Gatens finds Cougill and he lays  it in 55 to 48

WSU 7th possesion another  offensive rebound they don't score so still 55 to 48

Iowa 7th possesion Payne is fouled but misses the front end of the one and one big miss we had the momentum if he makes 2 it is a 2 possesion game.

WSU 8th possesion We play good defense but another offensive rebound Williams scores to make it 57 to 48 so were down by 9

Iowa 8th possesion Gatens with a bad shot airball still down by 9

WSU 9th possesion They score a lay up on the block back down 11

Iowa 9th possesion May throws it away 59 to 48

WSU 10th possesion Hannah misses a 3 so we get it back but still down 11

Iowa 10th possesion Gatens draws the foul off a nice dish from Tucker makes both 59 to 50

WSU 11th possesion Bawinkle doesn't find the ball or his man they score

Iowa 11th possesion Tucker dribbles it off his foot 61 to 50 7:32 to go in the gam

WSU turnover

Iowa  Gatens travels this is where they pull away

Murray and Stutz score back to back baskets and were back down 16 with 6 minutes to go game over so we could of won this game if you look at the key possesion we had a lot of opportunities to cut into this lead.

We had 5 turnover in this span of 12 possesions where the game was there for the taking.
They scored 4 points off second chance points which isn't a lot with all the rebounds they were getting and Payne missed a front end of the 1 and 1 basically we had a chance to win this game but we made too many mistakes in the key possesions in this game. We were down by 7 55 to 48 Payne missed the front end of the one and one and then we had 2 turnovers on consecutive possesions when could of cut into the lead. We then cut the lead to 59 to 50 and once again 2 more turnovers on consecutive possesions. Yeah I know we aren't that great of a team but I think we are going to look back at this game and see a lot of missed opportunities in a game we could of won.
