Best to avoid X

Fixed it

Iowa will likely beat Nebraska on a neutral court. I mean they played them well even on the road and beat them at home. I hope we make the elite 8 because Iowa is most likely going.

Disagree. I feel like Nebraska is playing really well right now.

I blame all meteors falling and that is how in the year 2026 there is Nebraska vs Iowa Sweet 16, that no one would have predicted back in October!

 

[FerShizzle]

The real winner of that game is Illinois or Houston.

Idk… I’m not sure Florida was getting passed Nebraska. That team doesn’t have the guard play needed to advance in this tourney.

 

[cytor]

Florida plays terrible defense and it cost them.

 

[CloneLawman]

The real winner of that game is Illinois or Houston.

Houston Uber alles (in that region).

The worst is that the hokroaches who haven’t watched a basketball game for 25 years are going to crawl out of the woodwork like they did for women’s bball when cc was there.

I’ll never forget their first time in the championship game- I ate lunch at the Texas Roadhouse in WDM, and some hok fan behind me is borderline yelling about it being Caitlin Clark time, baby!… then turns to his wife and asks what time the game is. They have to be one of the most insufferable fan bases in the country.

Either way, Go Clones and Go Big Red! (As I throw up in my mouth on that last part)

S16 matchup from Hell…but pulling for Fred is the way

Iowa or Nebraska to the Elite Eight. Who saw that coming?

God didn't let the win today go unpunished

 

[Cloned4Life]

Clemson was the worst P4 team in the field. I'm honestly at a loss of words how bad Clemson is.

Florida very clearly wasn't a 1 seed. SEC is dogsh*t.

Nebraska clearly the worst 4 seed. I'll never understand what the universe is doing to provide a truly, truly underserving fanbase with so much luck.

Worst part of it all - had we just beaten any of Cinci, TCU, BYU, or Tech, that 1 seed was ours. All bad losses.

 

[Cydewayz]

Great show of one up manship by Iowa today.

Would have been nice to own the news cycle for the week without a fools gold team shari g it and probably dominate it now due to the huskers angle. Aholes, And fuk Florida by the way

Yep, I'll avoid Iowa Everywhere this week for sure.

 

[ClonesTwenty1]

Disagree. I feel like Nebraska is playing really well right now.

As is Iowa.

 

[Cyhig]

On the bright side, there is a real chance of three big 12 teams in the final four:

Houston, Arizona, Iowa State

 

[deadeyededric]

As others said, may need to avoid Iowa Everywhere this week....not sure I can handle Andy and Downs.

Its all on your head. When you get older and ditch "fanaticism" you realize how sick in the head you once were. I have no doubt Iowa may be a bigger story but the reason is Iowa wasn't expected to be there.

 

[Clonefan32]

Nebraska -2.5

 

[IlliniCy]

My pick of Houston to the final 4 is feeling much better today.

 

[12191987]

I’d feel sick to my stomach. We must beat Tennessee

Before the Jefferson injury I thought it’d be Houston over ISU in the championship.

They’ve definitely got an easy path now.

 

[exCYtable]

Hok fans are going to be EVEN MORE insufferable than usual!

Meh, first time in 26 years ain't nothing to brag about. And they EASILY got the worst one seed to play against. Saw this one coming from a mile away.

 

[Cymark86]

Disagree. I feel like Nebraska is playing really well right now.

We’ll, iowa on the other hand?
