*** Official #23 Tennessee vs #6 IOWA STATE Game(Day) Thread ***

[Pizzapitter]

We all knew, minus JJ , a whole lotta steps up was needed, namely MM.

Pathetic effort, classic for Milan to disappear in a sweet 16 game that’s what he does. TJ break the glass someday but not this year

I guess whatever makes you feel better. I guess we are just the unluckiest team.

Did Iowa lose a 2nd team AA in the first game?

Lucky or no?

 

[Cyinthenorth]

milan is just standing in the corner

Why the **** aren't we at least setting screens to try and get him loose? I am so confused by our offensive gameplan. Realize you kind of have one hand tied behind your back without JJ, but you've have 5 days to prepare.

Credit to Tennessee and their players. That being said… do the announcers have to be this bad? I mean goodness this is hard to listen to.

 

[CYaeger]

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

No shot we come back

 

[moforisu]

100 free throws a day all summer long. Every player. Or go home!

 

[CycloneRulzzz]

We honestly weren’t beating Michigan anyway, just wanted to get over the S16 hump regardless.

I just wanted to make it as far as Iowa, a statement that makes me puke.

Losing your All American in the first three minutes of the tournament is the definition of bad luck.

Well, it’s pretty embarrassing that the staff can’t draw up a single open look for the best shooter in America

Losing your All-American is bad luck... yes. How would Iowa be without Stirtz? And Stirtz isn't even close to the impact that JJeff has in a game.

Factual but doesn't matter in the history books

I

I would've given it a try on a bad ankle... just sayin.

Stinks we signed Mulder and couldn’t use him in a pinch

The tournament takes luck or true dominance to make a deep run.

Being really good lessens the amount of luck you need, but a little extra luck can go a long way.

ISU is a much better team than Iowa this year. To insinuate otherwise is ******* moronic.

Luck was FL dreaming about a NC instead of prepping for a marginal Iowa team.

Nebraska was over seeded and that too benefited Iowa.

Look, I’m not saying God hates Iowa State…but clearly he’s not a fan.

 

[Walden4Prez]

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.

Blake just doesn’t have it. I have high hopes for Pleta in the coming years. Bulk the kid up he could be money.

 

[cyatheart]

Half court plan really disappointing

 

[CycloneSpinning]

Might as well try to work to get Milan to the line. At least he can hit FTs.

 

[awd4cy]

Fair. Just sucks.

 

[SoleCyclone]

Easy for them to lock us up around the 3pt line when we have 0 post scoring threat

 

[Erik4Cy]

We're gonna need a miracle.
