TCU giving AZ all they can handle and UT 1 down.

This makes up for losing to Ohio St and the inside the arc charge, probably the greatest win in Cyclone basketball history not necessarily going to Sweet 16, but beating Wisconsin on their home court(effectively) to do it, unbelievable, and Walters and Heft were aghast by how bad the officiating was, so we overcome that too, thank goodness Wisconsin shot miserably from 3 but TJ said their shots weren't in rhythm.

We beat the Big 10 Tourney champs by 20 and the regular season champs in a road game. Wonder if that will get brought up.

This is crazy:

Underrated stat is nobody fouled out.

At some point that has to be attributed to discipline from....coaching?

I was wondering if I was seeing things.
Congratulations to the Cyclones, a really special win considering all of the adversity they needed to overcome to win that.

The game turned on that injury. Even as a die hard Cyclone I could see that.

So we won vs 7

My god, the announcers for the Texas Purdue game are just as terrible.

Quick take on Miami:

• Per KenPom.com: 18th in adjusted offense, 141 in adjusted defense
• 30th in effective FG% at 54%
• 6th in fewest turnovers/possession
• 12th in assist to turnover ratio
• Starting backcourt (5'11", 6'3", 6'5") scored 56 of their 79 tonight against Auburn; starting, 5-11 PG nearly had triple double tonight: 15 pts/9 boards/8 assists and only 2 turnovers

At first blush, Miami looks like a small, quick, efficient offense with not a whole lot of defense or rebounding.

They kept having this 'ISU finding out the B1G style of play' slant for the B1G's physicality...like at least take some time to watch games and see that WI's 'physicality' is just another game.

Buddy of mine is a Bucky fan and texted his congrats. He said they hadn't seen anything near this level of intensity on the defensive end of the floor..not even close.

So we beat the B10 conference and Tournament champs. Does that make us kings of the B10?

Aside from Michigan B1G is soft.

Nope that's Nebraska because of how amazing they were at the end of the regular season.

 

[madguy30]

Aside from Michigan B1G is soft.

Fact: Hunter is miles ahead of some of the oldest B1G players that he played agains by a mile.

Tough outing for him on the scoring but he just stuck with it. Also looked like he was trying to keep guys together in some tough moments.

Phone videos from the WBB game tonight from yours truly.




In the Sweet Caroline video I apologize in advance for my "singing"

Hurricanes vs Cyclones in the Windy City

The dad jokes are strong in this one.

 

[Wally86]

With our D this game I think the only 10-0 run would have been due to the officials.

You see the foul count at that point? Zebras could have made it happen.

That would seem to be a decent match up for ISU. Confident they can make Miami score less, and they won't lock ISU down defensively.
