It's also an easy shot to block. Didn't like giving him a wide open look at it.

It was a road game we should have won in a very tough environment. It stings differently than the WVU game because of how it went at the end. We still have a really, really good basketball team and in my estimation it was going to be Houston and us in the big 12 title race and I still think that's the case. This team can win in Lawrence and give Houston a run for their money too. Defend Hilton and let the chips fall where they may.
it sucks just cause the big 12 title and 1 seed might have slipped away, but the team is still good and can do unprecedented things. The top 2 almost the same as the last 1 seed.
No team is ever going to get a foul call after dribbling into four defenders like ISU did in OT multiple times
The UA D took what the refs were giving them, and we didn't respond well...kind of hard to without CJ hitting and MM out, but yes, 18 turnovers is why this was close at all.
I am not as worried about a #1 seed as everyone else. We still will have to play the same level of team in the sweet 16 and elite 8. But loosing this game sure pisses me off. Losing a chance to stay tight to Houston to win the big12 pisses me off. We had the game. I hate Az, a bunch of punks. I hope we pound them into dust at Hilton. But lets be real, this was a slugfest. Our team didn't shoot well, but we gave Az more than they wanted even with a B- performance. Still super proud of our boys!!!!
I don’t know if you can say it was wide open. Looked like tamin attempted to get in his way
You mean Caleb Love who was like 1-10 from the 3 on the night. And it wasn't exactly a clear shot. He had to side step Lipsey.
The odds by seed for advancing deep in the tournament would say that there is a pretty dramatic difference.
The worst part about this game is we’re going to be seeing replays of that shot until the end of recorded history
Long term data says #1 seeds matter significantly. This is a once in a generation roster at ISU
March Madness Records by Seed: Probability of Each Making Final Four
Want to know what the numbers say when it comes to how you should fill out your bracket? Here's the past records of each seed in the NCAA Tournament.
Refs swallowed their whistles on TWO consecutive plays where our guys got into the lane and got clearly hacked and got the ball stolen in OT. That led to two of those 3-pointers. Have the refs just decided not to call fouls on games played by us?
Ehhh not necessarily. How many times have you seen the TTU field goal? I feel like this is the basketball version
Yeah, miss the free throw so you lose if they make the hail mary three instead of going to overtime.
Nor can I, and honestly you win your first game you might play a 10 seed , vs an 8 or 9.
