Nightmare scenario (Iowa)

T
Anyone else like me nervous about the possibility of Iowa dropping to a 10 and getting placed in our bracket, setting up a possible second round matchup? I know we would beat them 4/5 times, but they would slow it down and find open guys out of our traps. Stirtz shot making can be truly elite. I’m just hoping the committee avoids this even though they don’t have to. What a horrendous way that would be to end this season.

Holy **** what a game!!

If I could talk to the team I’d tell them:Boys- keep playing possession by possession, don’t flinch, value the basketball, be aggressive (hair on fire), and take their will. Like young Mike Tyson “the baddest man on the planet. Cyclonenation is with you! One possession at a time. Coach
Otz and his team of big **** swinging mother ******* are coming for you!!
LFG!!

Random and Misc Car Talk Thread

BoxsterCy
Want to chat about your favorite car?

Vent about the dealer charging a million dollars for an oil change and tire rotation?

Ask questions about CF users experiences with their model/make or seek advice on repairs or trouble shooting?

Talk tires?

Here's the placeholder thread for those postings.

What it isn't going to be is place for trolling or ranting like maybe a Ford guy to just rant about how much he hates Chevy pickups or visa versa. Threads in the Off Topic Forum, like our sports threads, are moderated, it ain't a free for all.

Build Your Region

F
For discussion purposes, let's pencil in Iowa State as a 2 seed. Build your region from there. What teams do you want to avoid? What teams would you like to see in our bracket?

Personally I'd love to see Gonzaga or Nebraska as the 3 seed in our region.

Gonzaga plays in a soft conference. Not battle tested. I really like that possible sweet 16 #2/#3 matchup.

Nebraska's offense depends on timing and rhythm. You aren't going to play in rhythm against our defense. Im not sure Nebraska has the playmakers in their backcourt to handle our pressure.

Im torn in regards to the 1 seed. Michigan and Duke both lost guards in their rotation to season ending injuries. Is Florida proven (I know they've been racking up wins in the SEC)?

I'd sign up for Florida as the #1 and Gonzaga as the #3 right now.

No potential matchups against in-state foes UNI or Iowa please. Just don't need that whatsoever.

Driving over to Moline tomorrow to see Bailey Zimmerman at Vibrant Hall. Anybody have recs for where we could watch the Iowa State game before that’s within walking distance to the arena? Hoping to watch the whole game and then head straight to the arena since there is only one opener and the concert starts at 7. TIA!
