Did he stick his butt out though? That apparently is the difference.

It's interesting how so many people, including the "experts" in the studio, blamed Wisconsin's loss on an injury to a freshman point guard who in 14 minutes had 0 points, 0 assists, and at least 1 turnover.
Interesting but fun article to discuss.. best all time rosters and how they compare to each other for teams in the Sweet 16. I'm biased obviously, but I think our team should be ranked higher.
March Madness: Ranking the all-time starting fives for the 2022 NCAA tournament Sweet 16 teams
What if every Sweet 16 team could bring back its greatest players for another NCAA tournament run? We imagined what that starting 5 might look like.www.espn.com
ISU is ranked about where I expected before I started reading, although I think that team could compete well with most of teams below maybe 7th ... I didn't ponder the rank too closely, quick read-thru -- possibly could place us above Providence but some of those players are prior to my memory.
Honestly, I think Arkansas is too high, i'd move Zags and us ahead of them and then providence. With that said, top 9 teams are stone cold locks. Those Bruins and UNC all time teams are crazy....
I mean, obviously it still plays a role beyond that. Having their best option at PG is going to be a factor when facing a tough defense like ours. Would we have still beaten them? Good chance of that. But its still a factor.
That being said, i'll cancel that out with the awful officiating in the first half that had so many of our guys taken out of the game in both halves due to foul trouble. When we had to have some of them out in the second half, for a bit there it felt like that opened the door a bit for Wisconsin.
They had to come up with something better than "Iowa State's defense was stellar, and due to playing in the much superior Big 12 conference all season, versus the overrated Big 10".
Hornacek could replace Hoiberg. Also, Hoiberg could be a player coach.Interesting but fun article to discuss.. best all time rosters and how they compare to each other for teams in the Sweet 16. I'm biased obviously, but I think our team should be ranked higher.

If you clip him with it, but when the other players tries to ram square into it, then not so much.
True on the officiating in the first half. The last play before half time was the cherry on top. Not only was it a hold.....should have been a "T" for slamming the ball. Like I said in another post.....have seen KU at Hilton and down in the conference tourney get "T'd" up for slamming just like the Wisky player.
I forgot about both of those. Yes. Grill was hot early but had two 3's taken away. Bad timing there.
What I thought, but there were several instances in a woman’s game where the clock would go to 30 seconds when the ball was knocked out after a rebound and/or be turned over before half court. Why I was confused.
I don't want to call you guys liars or anything, but Kunc had 4 fouls and I'm pretty sure they were all defensive.
Ranking aside, it's fun to have Iowa State in features like this. Some mega-programs in this Sweet 16.
