*** Official #3 IOWA STATE vs Arizona Game(Day) Thread ***

[Stumbles]

Arguing is getting stupid.

I've dealt with enough stupid at work to last a lifetime, and **** me if I can't blow tomorrow off.

Do not like my job. Time to try to get some sleep.

 

[AgronAlum]

We need Milan back. He needs to be there for the kick out when Cujo and Gilbert get stuck in the paint.

 

[CascadiaClone]

I crashed out hard on the way out of the McKale Center. Not proud.

 

[ClonesTwenty1]

Please don’t lose to Tang next game.

 

[cincinnaticyclone]

So with 2 seconds fans want us to foul a good FT shooter who can make the first and miss the second, so the guy that has 75 offensive rebounds tonight can clean it up and put it back rather than have a guy shoot a 60 footer?

Has anyone actually ever seen this scenario happen in an actual college basketball game?

 

[NoCreativity]

What an absolute travesty. It's Mclemore from KU all over again a decade later. **** Arizona, can't wait to get them in Hilton.

 

[Letterkenny]

This is definitely a lower probability shot than that. Miracles happen in sports

Yep. Vanderbeken made a near half courter for us to beat Creighton in the Hoiberg era. Naz Long hit a deep one against OSU to save us once, although that one wasn't nearly as far. It absolutely sucks when it happens to you.

 

[NY Chicago Fan]

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

Exactly. They were up 3, you can't lose by fouling unless it even more flukes so play D

 

[madguy30]

Yes. There wouldn't be enough time for them to do more than try to bat the ball up. I've seen ISU lose too many games on last second 3-pointers.

2 seconds is a lot more time than just batting the ball up.

 

[cyclonestunners]

Not likely. Doesn’t really matter. There’s a lot of good teams to get through at the top of college basketball

Lol look at the number of losses for 1 seeds in the past. We also have name recognition as the longest streak of top 10 in the country.

 

[WastedTalent]

This is who love is

Wtf is that supposed to mean?

The guy sucked all night until the last 5:02.2
He's been a chucker his whole career.

 

[Frak]

If my grandchildren ever ask me about Caleb love at all, I’m adopting new grandchildren

Dude is going to be a trivia question at best.

 

[Letterkenny]

Surely they'd call a flop technical when they then act like they just got murdered in that situation right? Right?

That flop technical was an insane call.

 

[FerShizzle]

Please don’t lose to Tang next game.

Me thinks they will be ready to go.

 

[Tpups21]

Not fouling, up by 3 with 2.2 seconds left, is coaching malpractice. What a stupid ending to a stupid game

I think Jefferson making the second free throw was even worse. No way Arizona gets a clean look off a rebound.

 

[RagingCloner]

Has anyone actually ever seen this scenario happen in an actual college basketball game?

Remember the UNI-TXAM game a few years ago?

 

[fsanford]

They played 4 games in 9 days going from West Virginia to Arizona.

Probably running a little ragged right now.

 

[alarson]

If we’re truly good enough, you can’t rely on seeding. Win your games.

The tournament is part talent\coaching\execution, but also kind of random. The data would show that the higher your seed the lower chance of that randomness removing you from the tournament earlier than your rating would otherwise suggest.

 

[ClonesFTW]

2 seconds is a lot more time than just batting the ball up.

The Fran classic line, 1 dribble per second.

 

[fsanford]

Remember the UNI-TXAM game a few years ago?

That was much worse and that was in the tourney
