I'm sorry, all you "dont blame the refs" folks can **** right off.

The only way Tech got back in that game was being gifted points on almost every single possession of the second half. It wasn't until then we started to crack, because we couldnt play defense any more either.

Officiating in this league is corrupt. That was too awful to just be incompetence.

ISU has to take a serious look at having Lipsey and Jones on the floor at the same time in second halves of games. It's 3 on 5 on offense when they do that.

For all of th credit TJ deserves, these choke job road losses like this and OSU are on him. He’s so stubborn with personnel, we make no adjustments, and seem to always have lineups that don’t work offensively or defensively when they go on runs.

Absolute coaching malpractice to have Lipsey not take a seat for Holmes after turnover after turnover and to yet again have Jones out there in crunch time (with Lipsey) when we REALLY needed some offensive is so, so bad.

Well guess I’m not sleeping tonight. How ******* embarrassing. No one blows leads like that. Only Iowa State.
It's so freaking true. It's why I was still nervous when we were up 20 with 10 minutes left. It's why we all were. We are freaking Iowa State.

Their whole offense toward the end was the headband driving the middle of the lane. And we couldn’t guard it.
Because they were calling a foul every single time Tech drove the ball. We went from hardly any fouls to having our entire starting line almost foul out in about ten minutes of game time.

Im so irrationally angry right now. Way too angry about about a bunch of college kids playing basketball.

Lipsey for being a point guard never attempts the three-point. You can't have a point guard that opposing teams just leaves open , because they know he won't shoot.

**** happens on the road in the big 12. Hope the team can shoot some free throws, get Jaz back, and beat the other team into submission next time rather than letting up when they're up 20.
