His forward momentum was stopped completely. I think that was a body foul, but not a bad call in the heat of the moment because the actual block was clean.

It looked bad live but a semi-slow mo looks that he did get ball.

Credit to Nader for going up strong (but maybe should have heat checked a three open when he had the chance), credit to Iowa for going up stronger for the block.

He got ball, but he destroyed Nader with the body. I wish Seely or Brackens could hit that hard.

That makes at least 3 of us who actually say what happened. The ref got caught up in ball watching and completely ignored the lower body pounding by a defender who had not established a legal guarding position. The good thing is that it had little impact on the outcome of the game. If anything, the officiating crew began to pay more attention to out-of-position fouls by Iowa.

Clean block followed by a moving defender into the offensive player... I think that's a foul, correct?
