ISU was missing Wigginton for the Iowa game, isnt that pretty much it?
Young was out for that game as well.

No, he played and fouled out in 11 minutes of action.
Kind of hard to count Young in this when he is out for the year and has barely played.
Wigginton is a big loss, I dont think he is a +14 point loss though in that game.
It's the internet, toughen up Sally.Big difference in something being at least possible and the posters on this board basically saying Iowa had zero shot at making the tourney. ISU fans hate it when Iowa makes the NCAA tourney.

Young was absolutely a huge factor in the equation when we played Iowa back in December. Since then Iowa State has figured out how to play without him but don't kid yourself, we were still trying to put the pieces together and we weren't playing with a full deck,
Solomon Young played 27 minutes all season and had not played a single minute all season prior to the Iowa game, which was ISU's 9th game of the year. Over 1/4 of the way through the season and him being out really shouldnt have an impact on ISU.
VegasHerky, you live in Columbus Junction or Danville?

That's very true. Now if he'd have ONLY played against his instate rival that would've been exactly like Iowa's situation with Pemsl. Somewhat interesting since they are similar type players.Solomon Young played 27 minutes all season and had not played a single minute all season prior to the Iowa game, which was ISU's 9th game of the year.

Michigan shot 32% from the floor including 24% from 3. Of course some might say "well Iowa's defense probably had a lot to do with that". The problem with that is there is very little evidence from all the other games Iowa has played to make one believe that its defense is capable of causing a good team like Michigan to shoot that poorly. The Wolverines were not right that night.Iowa's two best wins are against ISU and Michigan. ISU was short keys players during that game. Also, all good teams have an off night on occasion (i.e. Michigan loses to Pedo State, Michigan State loses to Illinois, Kansas losses to West Virginia, Nevada loses to New Mexico, etc.). iowa got Michigan on one of those night.
Iowa needs to prove they're not a "flash in the pan". Winning at home against Maryland will help with that.

I don't disagree. Some time teams can't hit a shot and other times they can't miss. Same thing happened for ISU on Saturday. They couldn't miss from three that game. Most games aren't like that. As a fan, you take the opponents misses and your makes as they come.
