Do you need us to start a Go fund me for the ring? Otherwise, what the hell are you waiting for?!?!?
In CW's video of Naz on the court after the game, he gets mobbed by Shayok, who just says "I needed that. I really needed that."
Sometimes we forget that these kids want to win more than we do. Even when they are struggling.
Also, how great is it that Wigs family was down in KC and that Shayok's family was down there too? We need to make sure that those guys are wherever we are next.

Pretty sure the Wayne Morgan (Stinson, Blalock, Homan, etc.) year, we were a bubble team.
Conditt just simply played hard and looked like he gave two ****s what stage he was on. Him being strong at the end of the first half was really unsung.
I don't know that we were much of a bubble team with how we finished that year. Obviously we were an 8 or a 9 seed, but we just started so poorly.
I'd play for him.
I mean, I wouldn't actually play, but I'd like go to tryouts or something.
Random thoughts...
I ended up dealing with some stuff today where I missed the 1st half and "had" to listen to the 2nd half on the radio. Most people on here seem to like John but I've seen less complimentary things toward Eric. I'll say again how lucky we are to have BOTH of them. Homers? Sure. Damn good at their jobs and at their best in these types of games? You bet your ass. I loved every second of it. I'm glad I got to witness it that way. That's what DVR is for.
Unbelievable turnaround for this team. I didn't get as bad as some on here but I sure had my doubts and got more worked up than a 40 something should over the last month. This is the stuff that makes it all worthwhile. 4 out of 6...enjoy it kids. A lot of us older fans weren't sure these days would ever come.
We are back to being that dangerous team in the bracket again. We're not perfect and a bad game could kill this buzz in a hurry. That said, I have some hope again and I didnt think think i would have that again this season as late as a week ago. Great job by this staff and team of getting the wheels back on.
Winning is fun. Great job in KC those that made it. That stuff makes me even more proud than usual to be a Cyclone.
Sorry...tl/dr. Awesome weekend all the way around!

Very fun tournament to watch and I'm so proud of this team for the way they've been able to come together and play as a team! They've re-energized the Cyclone faithful and put themselves in back in contention. Go Cyclones!!!
Would love to see Naz or Georges get into coaching and join our staff similar to Jon Scheyer and Duke.
Imagine Naz recruiting.
I'm not too surprised that we won today, but in the big picture I do believe that out of all of our conference tournament championship teams that this one is the most unlikely one.
Just think, less than two weeks ago we were down by 21 points at halftime to West Virginia. Now, we're at the top of the world.
What a wonderful turnaround for these players, CSP and his staff, and the whole damn program. What a turnaround for the fan base as well.
This is going to sound stupid, but I wonder if the guy who yelled at CSP after the Texas Tech home loss should get some credit. From what I've read on here, that was a galvanizing moment for the team.

Yeah I remember walking out of Hilton after the Colorado game thinking it was a lost season. Add that on top of the eustachy saga, and the future of Iowa state basketball was in serious doubt.
They turned it around. I learned then that you have to see how things end before deciding a team is a failure.
