It sucks that Kentucky won. Ya never want to play the more talented team, where they will have a **** ton of fans, a ton of momentum, and a coach that has proven to successfully game plan against TJ. It will be a battle.

Goddamn seeing that last second replay- insane of SC to let him get THAT shot off.

Kentucky can’t shoot. A great matchup for ISU. They will get down early and quit.

Clock operator had a nightmare in the final two possessions in regulation, starting the clock late on both in bounds

Pope was the start of our struggles with BYU

LOL we played against Pope twice and spilt.

Its okay to admit Kentucky is likely a tougher matchup than Santa Clara would have been. We should still win, but anything is possible in this crazy tournament and we've seen stretches where we've struggled against worse teams than Kentucky.

I think you are looking to much at the name on the jersey. It took a miracle for them to win today. If it was a best of 7 series Santa Clara would probably win the series.

LOL we played against Pope twice and spilt.

And they were good and very different in how they played.

 

[Klubber]

Baylor? LOL They are garbage.

They're not garbage at all. They almost beat AZ a couple of weeks ago. Watch much hoops?

I have ISU game on TV and multiview on my iPad.

If ISU can't beat Kentucky we weren't going to go very far anyway. They are not even close to a Final 4 team.

Let's win today first!

How do you do multi view?

Agree. But just because they aren’t a final four team doesn’t mean they aren’t more dangerous if they get some early tournament momentum. That’s all
I’m saying.

 

[HoopsTournament]

How do you do multi view?

I have YouTubeTV. When you select a game, it gives choices for multi-view. Selected the one that has all 4 games.

 

[Cydewayz]

Santa Clara should have fouled

Agree.....especially in the big dance. Seems those shots fall more (I know no data supports that, but you know).

With two seconds, id risk the "make one, miss a ft on purpose to try to get a outback to tie" over a 3

Okay....I don't think Hulu has that.

Okay....I don't think Hulu has that.

Hulu does not

Every ******* time

 

[ISU_Guy]

Good season boys. ****

 

[HoopsTournament]

JJ is coming back and will ignite this team. Just believe.

 

[ISU_Guy]

JJ is coming back and will ignite this team. Just believe.

I have a lot of confidence we are going to still win this game today.
Seeing a guy not put weight on his ankle like that isn’t someone that will be playing on Sunday.

 

[FriendlySpartan]

Oof, sorry guys. That’s brutal.

 

[Raiders70]

They weren't that good except

Agree. But just because they aren’t a final four team doesn’t mean they aren’t more dangerous if they get some early tournament momentum. That’s all
I’m saying.

They might even be favored to beat ISU now. **** sure changed quick.
