Ugh, free throws are not our friend tonight

Season.

 

[cyatheart]

Low energy 2nd half

Right where we want 'em?

 

[Cyinthenorth]

KSU was in the elite 8 in 2023, would you trade the last 3 seasons with them for the 1 elite 8 appearance?

Irrelevance because that isn't going to happen in Iowa City as long as McCollum is there

 

[Drew0311]

We need to get a legit rebound bully power forward in the portal. I don’t care if the guy averages zero points and 13 rebounds

 

[Istater4life]

Buchanan's been better this half. Let's get one final push here and see what happens.

 

[AlCyJim]

Confirming Varsity down for others? Want to turn these clowns off but can't get Walters/Heft to work.

they are about 15 seconds ahead of the tv

 

[cycloneworld]

36-13 rebounding. Impossible to win with those numbers.

 

[flycy]

What blows my mind is Iowa did it this season. With a **** roster. It’s unbelievable

Match ups. It's a lot about match ups with some luck and not losing your all American.

 

[cyphoon]

Sweet 16 has not been kind to Milan

H

 

[Die4Cy]

I want to believe but haven't really seen anything to make me since the 5:00 mark of the first half. I really did not anticipate going out like this.

 

[FerShizzle]

36-13 rebounding. Impossible to win with those numbers.

It was 22-12 at halftime.

 

[CYDJ]

WE can still come back, but we've got to play to our normal level and only NAte has been doing that tonight.

 

[ChiClone17]

I’ll Venmo you $5 if we come back and win.

Tell him to put his money where his mouth is and commit to Venmo you $1 if ISU wins.

 

[Walden4Prez]

It’s hard to excuse the horse **** free throw shooting. I mean, it’s critical in the tournament. I am literally not much worse than this team at the skill. Also Milan is a liability tonight. Pure garbage.

 

[cyclonez7]

Missing JJeff so badly, our offense is terrible without him

 

[ianoconnor]

Milan and Blake a combined 6 points and 2 rebounds.

 

[awd4cy]

If you're watching TN tonight and watched FLA on Sunday and think they're the same thing you're living out of reality.

Who are you in reference to? The guy who’s a starter and averages 6 a game? The other guy who comes off the bench averaging 2 a game?

 

[Revolution]

And nobody is even close to the basket to get a rebound.

 

[cycloneworld]

Agreed. They are just a bad matchup for us because our bigs are awful. Michigan will crush them.

We need to find a McKay or Ward type guy in the portal. Buchanan would be a solid backup but he has no business being a Big 12 starter.

That’s the only solace I’m taking in this - we would get murdered by Michigan without Jefferson.

Didn’t think Buchanan was this soft down low but he’s been awful.
