Final Four

[Cloned4Life]

Man, we owned Auburn 49-33 for a half and really had them beat until the very end in Hawaii! Not sure if they've improved that much or if we just played really well that game? Probably both.

Yeah we did play well for a half. They erased an 18 lead though in the blink of an eye. That was not ideal seeing the “give up massive scoring run to the opponent” in that game.

Credit to our players and coaches though for keeping it close and having a chance, right down to the wire.

Clayton is the obvious key, again. If Auburn can’t control him in these last 15, Chuck will be crying.

Clayton is unbelievable these last couple games.

The tournament for excitement was pretty so-so but so far this game is elite talent all over the floor.

Broome is gassed. Florida needs to attack him on defense.

 

[Texbudman]

They chipped away and were ahead by 4 with about 3 minutes left. ISU had a chance at the end but turned it over to give Auburn the last look.

We never found out what a fully healthy ISU could have done but they still had limitations.

Either way at some point it becomes clear that a one game sample (or half as we've seen from the other side in many of ISU's historical wins) from November doesn't tell the whole picture.

Fully healthy I still believe we could compete with any team in the country.

Golden has such a punchable face.

 

[madguy30]

Fully healthy I still believe we could compete with any team in the country.

I could see them competing for sure if they play well. Like I could see a tight game with these types of teams and eventually their athletes taking over.

Add in ISU's turnovers and they probably get beat by 8ish.

Speaking of injuries..there goes Broome pulling up trying to defend. Imagine Auburn without him to see how impactful one injury can be.

How the F is that travel and not a foul?

And how the F does Padilla and Green get FF games?

 

[isuno1fan]

WOW

 

[isufbcurt]

And now that clean block is a foul?!?!?!?

 

[madguy30]

That was a foul on #10 Auburn if anything for grabbing around the waist.

Intentional too.

 

[cyclonespiker33]

Refs really trying to keep Auburn in this

 

[isuno1fan]

Is Clayton even real?

 

[isufbcurt]

And no foul on that Clayton drive

 

[heitclone]

Clayton Jr reminds me of Jamal Murray.

 

[isufbcurt]

Finally FL gets a call

 

[Cyched]

Sheesh, Clayton got bodied there.

Now the makeup call.

 

[isuno1fan]

Clayton Jr reminds me of Jamal Murray.

Dude is the most money player out there

 

[cyclonespiker33]

The refs better not mess this up
