We love you Rulz. Your dedication to this site does not go unnoticed to most of us and this place would not be the same without you and your game day threads right at midnight. So thankful you’re still with us for every cyclone moment.

Great season by these guys. They were an awesome group of guys that played their guts out all year. Tough to go against Larinaga with a week to prepare. Guy is a good coach. Miami was just the better team tonight.
Our team is one to be proud of.

Won't help. I give up. We got lucky with Fizer and Tinsley to make the 8 back in the day. We will never be a big enough market or a good Cinderella to make it much further than the 8. Miami is a big market. St. Peter will all of a sudden never get a call. Totally awe struck how it is going to end up all blue bloods at the end. hmmmmmmm ratings much. **** you ESPN
To be fair, Turner Sports have the broadcasting rights for the Men’s Tournament. Although, yes **** ESPN too
Can't complain about our effort tonight, we all knew that we would be in trouble when we reverted back to a game where our shots were not falling, that was tonight. 4 of 22 behind the 3-point line, and we were not getting to the FT line only 2 of 4. Miami pulls a 9 of 26 from behind the arc, when they haven't hit shots out there all tournament.
Hate to go out this way, but I never thought this team would get as far as they did, that is credit to the coaches and players that just did not want the season to end.
Great foundation was laid this year by TJ, now we just have to continue to build on what we laid this year.
Go Cyclones

The best part about basketball was that he wasn’t on here firing off the same hot takes he had during football
While officiating has seemingly become a problem in every game this tournament, we didn't lose because of the officials. We had a million chances to win this game and either we made some critical mistake or Miami stepped up and hit a shot to keep us at arm's length every time.
Thanks. At times I really struggle with my self worth and everyone's encouragement helps me in my battles.
I love this board and our Cyclone fans. We have great fans. And people like you make game day special! Thanks to you CycloneRulzzz for always showing up and starting off these gameday threads and allowing us to come together for what we all are, fans!
Great season, great tournament. So much more than what we expected. Proud of our Cyclones although I am sure they are very disappointed.
Looking forward to FB then basketball again next year!
I just think their guys (and most other power 5) are better athletes, and sometimes that's enough. Especially when your opponent can't make layups.
I can't really be mad, though. It's really obvious that these guys are playing their asses off, but they're just not as gifted outside of IB and TH. Sometimes your best just isn't good enough, and that's a really bitter pill for fans.
Props to TJ for doing the impossible though. If you told me we'd be in the sweet 16 after XF left, I'd have probably told you to stop sniffing glue.
Great effort. Great year establishing the culture. Overachieved light years beyond expectations.
But for next year can we please for the love of god fine some bigs who can score.

Jaz says that if TJ wants him back he'll be back
Yup. Too careless with the ball (though give Miami some credit for that), too many missed bunnies, too many missed threes, too many blown defensive assignments, and Miami just shot the sh1t out of the ball.
Kinda stings to hear it phrased that way.
Suppose I had the ability to jump in a time machine before the beginning of the basketball season and travel forward in time to the NCAA tournament. And then I observed the Cyclones playing Miami in the Sweet 16. I would have thought the time machine had traveled to an alternate universe.
Congratulations to the Cyclones on a most unexpected and entertaining basketball season. We will certainly remember and talk about this team for years to come.
