I would just like to say:

To that one poster that had been bagging on Davison earlier this season and just continuing on and on and on about it, I apologize for laughing and dumbing your posts. Davison is a ****-bag. F-that little twat.
I think that was me in the NCAA Regular Season thread. Apology accepted, so glad to see that loser end his career like that.

Agree. It felt like Wiscy was ready to go on a 10-0 run. That said the boys had to execute with or without catching a break. No one from Wiscy was able to go full Hogue like after Georges’s injury so I give zero craps. It’s a Cyclone win in the record books.

An injury nobody talks about is Chris Babbs against Ohio State. We win that game if he is in the second half

Great game. Lousy female announcer!! I couldn’t take it much longer. Hope she’s not part of the crew in Chicago. I’d like to say I feel good about the match-up against Miami but I don’t. They are super athletic and get after it a ton on defense. They pretty much smoked Auburn.

I’ll refrain from all the “F U, Gabe haters” things I want to say. I will say that he had a lot less “bad games” than some people on here think. His defense has been stellar all season. He may have had some bad moments, but there are several games we don’t win without his defense.

All good teams from here on out.....but I will say (posted earlier), that Miami is 141 in adjusted defense.

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.

Not sure if its a good matchup or not, but at this point a 10 seed is the best you can hope for. ISU is probably the 14th-15th best team left in the field and is more/less in a pickem game to go to the Elite 8.

Easy to see how they win. Effort and coaching.

There's been several of ISU's wins where if I'm a coach, I'm secretly thinking 'No idea how we won, just get off the court and on the bus before they call us back' but that's kind of the point; playing ISU can be a hornet's nest and if they come out on top, they don't need to apologize for it.

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.

Fizer, Tinsley, and Co. boatracing UCLA in the Sweet 16 after hearing all week that UCLA was the hottest team in the country...

Miami is #62 in NET ranking with 3 quad three losses and only 4 quad one wins.

For comparison, K-State had 4 quad one wins and zero quad three losses
