Welp, time to pack it up, burn the film and get ready for next week.

Still lots of potential for good things ahead...ISU needs to get back to being smart. That was missing tonight.

Big 12 is home to some of the most beautiful, exciting college basketball.
WVU is an embarrassment to that fact.

Perhaps not. But don't tell me that was well officiated. Your claiming so also won't make it so.
Yes there were biased calls but this team needs overcome that. In the Tournament not everything is going to go our way. I think this team allowed those calls to affect their game plan.

They lost.
You are correct (a big NS to your comment) and the officials could not call the game evenly. Go back and watch the touch fouls on us that they would never call on them. I agree with you that maybe this will make them mad, but WV got a BIG hand up from the officials. Usually you can say that a few calls at a crucial time can sway the game one way or another (and don't try to tell me officials never affect a game, you'd be a complete moron to say that.) This game they unevenly called from start to finish.

The next time they play WV I just want them to mug them like they mug everyone else. It is pretty obvious that the officials can't tell the difference and maybe would let you just get away with it. When you are timid and only play basketball defense, you get fouls when they compare it to the rugby defense they put on.

It was a totally expected screw job, but I wish the Cyclones could have handled it with a little more composure even though it would have been hard to do.

WV belongs in the B1G. This is not Big 12 basketball. If you want to play rugby basketball, join the B1G.

Wherever I go, there I am.

Undoubtedly they did. they could have reacted better. But that doesn't excuse the bias in the calling, no matter how much you want to talk about something else.So continue, but denying what everyone could see will not be accepted.
