Iowa State vs Final Four Teams

[StClone]

So how many times have we defeated Final Four teams during the season in Iowa State's recent history. Texas Tech this year was one.

 

[Cycloneman24]

Well we lost to Tournament Champions UConn and Kentucky.

 

[Cyched]

We beat Kansas in 2012 when they were runner-up to Kentucky. Can't think of any others at the moment

Tech took it to a different level. They would curb stomp us right now.

 

[cyclonedave25]

Beat Oklahoma in 2016.

Tech took it to a different level. They would curb stomp us right now.

With or without Lard, Shayok, THT, NWB, and Wiggs?

They have, but it's everybody's first time playing them. We played them well both times we saw them and don't think they would curb stomp us in a third meeting.

Beat Danny Manning and KU the year they won it all (1988?)

Beat Danny and the Miracles in Hilton in 1988, and I was there. Screw the Final Four, they were the National Champions.

They didn't curb stomp us in the last game we had. We should have won that game.

I disagree with your premise.

If you had told me when State played Little Rock in 2016 that one of those coaches was going to be in the national title game in 2019....

 

[Cyinthenorth]

Texas in 2002

 

[Cypwr]

Michigan State in 2000, just couldn't beat the ref's.

With or without Lard, Shayok, THT, NWB, and Wiggs?

Depends on which 4 of those 5 (or all 5) showed up.

With Tech you know what's there and what they'll do and they do it.

With ISU it was an 8 ball on how they'd play or who played what role for the team.

I disagree with your premise.

How was their whole season?

How was ISU game to game?

Can you see ISU manning up and playing Tech or any of these teams on this kind of stage?

Iowa State could absolutely dominate any of the final four teams, they could also lose to ohio state.

This came up on my Facebook memories this morning

Trend Continues?
In 2000 Iowa State loses to Mich. St in Elite 8 and Mich. St wins it all
In 2005 Iowa State loses to NC in round of 32 and NC wins it all
In 2012 Iowa State loses to KY in round of 32 and KY wins it all
In 2014 Iowa State loses to UCONN in sweet 16 and UCONN ???
