There are 3 good non-Iowa games going on. I will keep my eye on the Iowa score, but I think I am done watching the ugly hawks play tonight.
Agree. Their first game is against a team with nerves from being in the tournament for the first time ever. Second game against a team cold from not having played in a while. Can't wait for all the JorBo chest pounding...
Apparently Iowa State cursed teams that beat them in the tournament since 2000
Schools that have beaten Iowa State since 2000
2000 - Michigan State - Lost in First Four
2001 - Hampton - Not in Tournament
2005 - North Carolina - Lost in First Round
2012 - Kentucky - Not in Tournament
2013 - Ohio State - Lost in First Round
2014 - UConn - Currently Playing (Down 25-19 to Maryland)
2015 - UAB - Not in Tournament
2016 - Virginia - Currently Playing (Up only 2 on Ohio 18-16)
2017 - Purdue - Lost in First Round
2019 - Ohio State - Los in First Round
Can UConn or Virginia survive the Iowa State curse?

Most wins by a conference in any round in tournament history in 7. All happened in the Round of 64.
2008 - Big East
2011 - Big East
2019 - Big Ten
However, all of them had more than 7 teams in the tournament. If OU and UT both win tonight, then Big 12 will have the best record in any round in tournament history.

Keep shooting those 3's Iowa...I'll be shocked if Oregon gives Iowa this much space..If they do Iowa will win easily. GCU was in no way ready to defend this Iowa team...Not to mention GCU has just been awful from 3.
GCU isnt very athletic overall and plays 2 bigs alot...I'm not shocked Iowa is wide open for 3's..
Oregon definitely has a challenge on their hands due to not playing..It is a big advantage for Iowa IMO.

That comes from the head man and is a hallmark of his time there.
Gotta love Barkley!
GTFOOHWTS from any Hawkeye fan who acts mad over that.
You put on an Elvis outfit and go to public venues because you WANT people to react to how you're dressed.
Thoughts:
The Big Twelve is the best conference
Grand Canyon is terrible
I think Oregon will get blown out by Iowa after a slow start
