It's settled. We need to find a nun who happens to be an ISU fan.

Worst case scenario: There ain't nun.

That nun prays for good officiating. I have legit prayed for good officiating and a **** amount of good it has done. So I agree. We need a team nun.

I am a pastor and an Iowa State fan. It doesn't help.

4 years ago someone says "Clayton Custer will go to a final 4."

Me: "**** yeah!"

So KU's the only blue blood or did I miss something?

No this KU fan was saying if direct connections to Naismith could be drawn then you could be a blue blood. Basically Kentucky is but Duke is not.

I have no idea if it's rational or not, it's definitely arrogant.

At one time Harvard and Army were the Kansas of college football. Someone should inform USC, Ohio State, Alabama and Oklahoma that they are second fiddle.

Sounds like you might need some work done to become a nun.

Loyola passes the eye test. Not having seen them prior to the tourney I was expecting them to look more like a UNI team, scrappy D with shooters. They have some bigs who can bang inside and some athletic wings who can really attack the rim.

Oh look - Minerva McGonagall is happy

Bye Surlys

Loyola is a fun team to watch, they really take the "extra pass" to heart

 

[Cyclonepride]

Junior Clayton reminds me a bit of junior Monte. Floor general.

I could see them winning the next one too.

Also, the cardinal and gold, and just seeing the top of the L on the nun's jacket, it looks like an ISU letterman's jacket. We can pretend.

Loyola vs. Duke/Nova in the ship? Sign me up

 

[ISUCY23]

Yeah they’re rolling. But so is Michigan.

 

[CycloneErik]

Yeah they’re rolling. But so is Michigan.

Everyone is rolling at this point. Not sure that idea makes anyone's argument.

Hoiberg was amazing. We were the only team in the Big 12 not in the post season and there are still two of his players in the sweet 16... I guess we can be happy it happened but it would be fun to see where we would be otherwise.
