Denial is such a cute quality to walk around with.
I guess we should be worried that Fran may want to cancel this series like he did to UNI
What excuse will EIU come up with?

Gangly white kids; new rule favors the offensive player, so all you gotta do is drive the lane and you get the call.
Home team always gets more calls, that is the way it has always been, and always will be.
Fran and Lick both have Zero tournament wins at Iowa.
ISU wins games in the real tournament, you wouldn't understand unless you're old enough to remember.
Those are weak excuses. #1 doesn't really matter, if they were better they would have won with us missing 12 free throws and getting horribly out rebounded. #2 ties in to what I said about 1. #3 doesn't make any sense to bring up.
I'm shocked I didn't see #5. Whatever makes them feel better I guess. They get to leave non-con with 0 good wins, better focus on conference season instead of crying about a game I they claim not to care about all the time. Have you found any "football is better" posts yet?
Iowa made us look pathetic last year, wasn't close and I haven't said anything other.
Or maybe we should just ring up Hokeye fan, ask them who is best at the beginning of the year and screw all the games.
You had your year, NIT and all to enjoy, now crawl back up your hole and try again next year.
yeah, it's what they do. Roy Marble still believes that about his 1987 Iowa team that got "Lafestered".
For months all people talked about on this board is how Iowa wasnt a good team. I think you sir are in Denial. Both teams are really good!
OK. Thought it was like last year, over 40%. Good thing we exploited the outside pressure driving and drawing fouls from the slow footed Hawklods.
LOL I was actually thinking the same thing during a few games this year.
It reminds me of Harrison Burgeron where they try and make everyone equal by bringing the smart kids' intelligence level down to the stupid kids' level.
Typical bandwagon fans coming out of the woodwork, getting upset that they ended their hibernation thumping their chest and lost.
Well our next big game is a football game, so it is natural for Iowa fan to be looking forward to that now. Once our bowl game on Jan 1st is over, against LSU, then I will focus on BB again.
Weren't the announcers saying that Iowa has been making more FTs than the other team attempts in about every game? Refs have clearly been in their pockets all year.
Neither team played their best, Kane had his worst game as a Cyclone and the guy came in averaging 15, 8 and 6.
I think ISU actually played pretty bad in all 3 of their good wins, just Niang has been perhaps the best closer in college basketball winning games late for us.
I wonder if the foul disparity was somewhat based on strategy by both sides.
Iowa... Very deep and can give fouls if they have to. Also, we have proven to be an average/borderline bad FT shooting team. Maybe Fran told his guys not to give up easy baskets.
On the flip side, we are not very deep. Especially on the front line. Iowa is an excellent FT shooting team. Maybe Fred told the guys that if you get beat, don't pick up a cheap foul.
Our lack of hustle (maybe fatigue due to lack of depth) certainly led to a lot of easy baskets for Iowa. We were way too far behind the play on most of their breaks to even think about fouling.

Not when you're not good. Here's an example:
Houston Cougars vs. TCU Horned Frogs - Box Score - December 04, 2012 - ESPN
Or you could just go back to the Greg McDermott era for ISU:
Kansas Jayhawks vs. Iowa State Cyclones - Box Score - February 27, 2008 - ESPN

Yyyyyep. Conference play starts in what, 3 weeks? Win or lose, the Iowa game is a blip on what might be a nice season.
ISU needs to learn how to look for a good shot when the score is tight/they just need a bucket--they rushed too much, and forced too much one on one in the offense. The shot clock is 35 seconds; that doesn't mean to run down as quickly as possible, pass once, and chuck up another 3.
