Fans, media react to Iowa basketball’s overtime loss vs. Virginia Tech

While Iowa basketball (2-1) had chances to grab a key nonconference win over Virginia Tech (3-0) on Tuesday night inside the Tyson Events Center in Sioux City, the Hawkeyes’ shooting struggles from the floor and the free-throw line in regulation and overtime ultimately led to a 93-88 loss.

Despite Cooper Koch netting a career-high 26 points on 5 for 11 shooting from the floor and 15 of 17 at the charity stripe and Isaia Howard’s 13-point and 15-rebound double-double, Iowa’s 16 missed free throws proved costly.
