There's 8 and a half minutes left in the game; we're up by 13.
7:30 to go we're up by 13 and about to shoot two free throws. We're playing the U of WI, Milwaukee. There is a blood feud between their coach and our fans. Long story, but the jist of it is that 15 years ago while an asst coach at Iowa, he engineered a fabrication to the NCAA that IL illegally recruited Deon Thomas. No evidence that IL was guilty was ever found. Then Digger Phelps at Notre Dame comes out and says one of his players claims IL offered him money. Problem is, the Notre Dame player changes his story about every 10 minutes. Investigation reveals lots of phone calls going on behind the scene between this at the time Iowa ast coach and Digger Phelps. No evidence found that IL committed any illegalities at all. Everyone wonders if it was a set-up. NCAA decides where there's smoke, there's fire and dings IL by taking away some scholarships and I think put them on probation. Fans HATE this guy. He's a real schmuck. So there's NO love lost between the coach and the our fans.
We're now up 70-56 with 6:19 left.
