No More Sweet 16’s in Chicago

[CySmurf]

It has less to do with Chicago and more to do with our team being compromised by injury, the match up not being kind to our team or the other team just being better. Give me the Sweet 16 everytime regardless where it's at...we'll break through eventually.

I hate late late games on Friday. I am probably wrong but the UCLA Cameron Dollar game was last game of the night. Also, the never to be mentioned game against that Hotel Chain. Now this abomination.

I think 2022 vs. Miami was late Friday slot, too.

How many of those sweet 16s were ISU actually favored and expected to win?

I had a good time in Chicago, but man is that uber situation outside the united center a cluster fk.

3 of the 8 Sweet 16’s we’ve been to have been in Chicago. I’ve came here every time and we lose by 15 points every time. I'm done with this ******* place!

**** Chicago.

City doesn’t matter this program just has a ceiling we won’t break. Losing against a ****** Tennessee tells you all you need to know.

Tennessee who just made their 3rd straight Elite 8?

It was a bad matchup without JJeff. Nothing more, nothing less.

When we lose, you are the worst. Please take a moment to figure out how to stop yourself from doing this. You’re insufferable when you’re like this.

I hate the late games, but that's because I get up to work at 3:30 AM.
The lateness has nothing to do with losing those games.

When I see it's a late game my mind automatically goes to those games like a horror movie replaying the slaying scene twenty times. I know it has nothing to do with the losses. Just fear and dread from my psyche.

Chicago is too far from Iowa

Well, once Iowa absorbs the western counties of Illinois, it will be closer . . . . .

When I went in 2016, I left at halftime of the Gonzaga-Syracuse game and just walked up Madison to the Loop. Once you get to Halstead and Madison, there are all kinds of transportation options. Easy, peasey, mac and cheesy.

We took either the 19 or 20 bus back downtown. Worked well for us.

 

[CYDJ]

Has ISU ever won in the United center?

Not that I remember. I got to see us get demolished by Duke there too. We have not enjoyed that place at all.

 

[cyatheart]

Sweet 16 thing is a fluke. Lot of bad programs break though to the elite right and final four. Tournament is 75 perc luck.

In addition no more sweet 16s that tip off at 9:30 pm. I know why they do it, but they shouldn’t.

Next year has Minneapolis and Omaha as first weekend sites and Kansas City hosting the Midwest regional. Everyone get their hopes up now.

Where is 2028, because we've got an every-other-year pattern going here.

I know we played the late game in 2022. Did we play late in 2024, as well?

There's no such thing as curses in sports. Its something fans of certain teams create in their head to explain losing to better teams. End of story. Its an excuse to be a loser and shouldn't be tolerated.

I recall some point guard and two teams we had that went 2-0 in Allen Field House in consecutive years and called it just another gym.

Eventually we will get a kind match up with no injuries?
