I don’t think there’s another team in the country like BYU. They have 5 shooters on the floor at all times and when they are moving the ball it’s borderline erotic.

Yeah, when they are rolling they are really tough. I was obviously kidding about ISU. There were guys making plays all over the court tonight for the Clones. We're gonna be a very dangerous team in the Dance.

Coming across Cyclone twitter poll for player of the game, I paused wondering who it should be. I feel like Curtis kept us in the game and Tamin took us home.

I am ashamed I even thought for a second this team would not win this for the seniors tonight.

When ISU got it to 6 and it went to, what 12-14? I didn't think it would happen.

ISU's players had other thoughts again though.

Gutsy win by ISU, but I think at BYU had a great gameplan of what we like to do. They knew we would want to come out and limit their 3 point shots, so they used that to drive to the hoop, getting us in foul trouble and causing us to back off and then they started to hit their shots. I love the play of their bigs, great passers, that can step out and hit the three if you back off them.

Great way to finish out the home schedule, this win assures us at least 2nd place in the conference with a chance to get part of title.

Agree with everyone here on the dangerous nature of BYU in March tournaments.

But I wouldn't want to play ISU in the tournament either to be fair.

We get critical of our guys at moments, but man...no questioning the grit and how much they can frustrate even the highest levels of potent teams.
I felt like ISU needed the crowd to win this one. Not sure that is a factor in the NCAA tournament. We don't shoot free throws well enough most of the time to win a championship. But I do think we can make a Final Four.
