you are picking me apart on this
To be fair, they could have called it on someone else, but Kunc was right there. Anybody have a link to the game that I can go back and research? I can only find find a condensed game on the march madness site.

Side note - I hope that kid gets treatment from someone who really knows what they're doing. An injury like his (complete inversion of the ankle) back when I was 18 was what led in large part to the complete ankle replacement I had last December.
I'd put that ISU team against anybody and good luck. Grayer blew his knee early in his NBA career and Fizer tanked so neither made a big name for themselves in the NBA. College? Those two were phenomenal! Tinsley at the point feeding those guys or just taking his off the dribble would be unstoppable. I'd almost put Cato on that list instead of Niang or Fizer. There's enough scoring with the other 4 a rim protector would be nice.Interesting but fun article to discuss.. best all time rosters and how they compare to each other for teams in the Sweet 16. I'm biased obviously, but I think our team should be ranked higher.
March Madness: Ranking the all-time starting fives for the 2022 NCAA tournament Sweet 16 teams
What if every Sweet 16 team could bring back its greatest players for another NCAA tournament run? We imagined what that starting 5 might look like.www.espn.com
As much as I would hate to replace Niang, for your reasons above I would go Cato. Keep Fizer.
And Fizer had knee issues fairly early in his NBA career also. It really limited what he could have become in the pros.
Or Morris. Or Halliburton.
Nah. Would replace them in the dance with St Bonaventure. They have proven they can advance.

Treat them like any other champion of a minor conference. 16th seed, play-in.
No. I had ISU beating LSU and Wisconsin then losing to Auburn.
I do think we win though and at the moment I think it will be by a decent margin.
I don’t recall you predicting Auburn beating ISU. But I do recall you hoping we would get matched against Wisconsin and predicting a Victory. So I have no reason to doubt your prediction now.
Go Cyclones!!!

Some NCAA history, not a given every year, but solid. Hopefully we can improve on the overall record. I'd like to see us make the NCAA's 3 out of every 4 years. That would be an awesome goal.
We sure didn't have much to brag about prior to 1985. One Final four in 1944! Anybody remember that?
Arkansas was a National Championship and was runner up the following year. They were one of the top teams of the 90s. The only one I would put behind ISU is Providence.
They would have to be in the Sweet Sixteen for that to happen. The internet was still pretty new the last time that happened.

I was 15 for our first NIT, and had just become a diehard Cyclone fan a few years earlier, so I feel like I became a fan at about the right time!(ISU) Postseason tournament history

They also tried to play Fizer at the 3 instead of the 4 in the NBA. He was a natural 4 so he was playing out of position.
