We look ready for the NCAA tournament. Arizona looks right up there with Florida as the favorite.
I very much like the way we are playing going into the NCAA tournament.
Those dudes played their balls off. Incredible TEAM effort this week.
Not big on moral victories when you’re a top 10 team in the nation. Bring that intensity to the NCAA’s and win something with it.

If we play like we did the last 3 games, absolutely Final 4 caliber.
Played the best they could. I’ll be cheering for either KU or Houston tomorrow night.
Not sure why ISU sucks at free throws. Shame if that costs us a game trying to get to the final 4.
Just hope everyone can get to 100%. Scary scenes there for a bit with the guards going to the tunnel + Jefferson limping around the past couple days. Heal up, fellas!
If Good Iowa State shows up the sky's the limit, simple as that.
Jefferson was absolutely exhausted with 15 minutes left and Lipsey took himself out so you know it was fairly serious injury. Not playing again tomorrow is going to be really helpful for next week. You'd love to win a conference tournament, but you are now a solid 2 seed with massive momentum going into the big dance.
If that was the glass court we would have won.
Tamin did come back in.
Sucks to lose but a day off is a silver lining.
We also know ISU's best is just as good as Arizona's best
But it was a good sign to see Lipsey return and make a clutch three pointer to tie the game late
To me, it looked like he got hit in the midsection and needed a moment.
Trainers have a few days to work on everyone, it's amazing how much they can get done in a few days. (Hopefully)
I'm normally moody and cranky after every loss but I don't even feel bad after this one. Not having to play four games in four days is a benefit, especially with guys getting dinged up. I want Iowa State to win it all, but will be picking Arizona in my bracket
If ISU plays the same level of basketball in the NCAA Tournament, they are a legitimate threat for the Final Four.
