After Iowa’s shocking defeat by Nebraska, Lisa Bluder went on a rant on audio.
Iowa women’s basketball coach Lisa Bluder is trending for all the wrong reasons. The 24-year veteran leader of the Hawkeyes went off in the media room after Nebraska pulled off an impressive 82-79 upset at Pinnacle Bank Arena.
Bluder seemed irritated by the fact that Nebraska’s players were at the podium for the postgame press conference before Iowa. Typically, the visiting team speaks with media before the home team.
That seemed to be what set Bluder off. In the video below, you can hear the Iowa coach ranting.
“We got a flight to catch. This is bulls***,” Bluder said. “This is not Big Ten protocol.”
“Actual full context is this: Nebraska players took an extended time to get off the court, because of the celebration. When they showed up for the press conference, Iowa still had not come out of the locker room,” he reported on X.
“The Nebraska SID said when the Huskers started that he would shuffle the order — remove Nebraska from the room — if needed to get Iowa in. Then Iowa appeared. Bluder threw a fit and never came back.”
