Florida with a really good front court, a dumb coach and a horrible backcourt.

The guy sucks. Didn't he win the National title last year?

 

[iowastatefan1929]

SEC is trash and ISU gets to play another SEC team next week!

 

[BillBrasky4Cy]

Horrible execution down the stretch by Florida

Down the stretch? They were a sack of dicks all game.

 

[Cyclonepride]

Props to Iowa, that was a big shot. Pretty much shot down the SEC fairytale that the media has been spinning

 

[CloneLawman]

ISU will not get talked about. It will be all hawkeye

That's fine. I like our odds. And ridiculous Hok pricks like Hassell and Downs wouldn't say anything positive about ISU anyway. **** em. It is as usual-- Cyclones versus the world.

 

[Prone2Clone]

The worst is that the hokroaches who haven’t watched a basketball game for 25 years are going to crawl out of the woodwork like they did for women’s bball when cc was there.

 

[ClonesTwenty1]

McCollum to UNC? People are saying

Would be funny, but I don’t see him leaving Iowa.

 

[veteran4cy]

How did Florida win a title with coaching like that at the end.

 

[ItsCyence]

Weekend ruined.

Not how I wanted it to go, but we're still dancing too. We beat Kentucky by 19 in March. Nothing is ruining that for me.

 

[cycloneworld]

Did they not realize they didn’t have time for that? Coach is an idiot

Between that and a full court press with 8.5 seconds left up 2 is some of the worst end game coaching I’ve ever seen.

 

[trevn]

Florida deserved to lose that game. Really poorly coached.

 

[2122]

Stirtz 0-9 from 3 and the Squawks win?! NFW. Iowa is the Cinderella now.

 

[cytor]

Florida is going to steam roll Iowa lol

Unless they play like ass and leave Hok shooters wide open all night.

 

[IASTATE07]

How did Florida win a title with coaching like that at the end.

Walter Clayton seemed to go nuts every time they needed him.

 

[GTO]

That’s ****** up.

No, they play a **** Nebraska team next and have a realistic chance to advance further than us. If you enjoy rooting for Iowa I guess you do you.

 

[Gorm]

SEC SEC SEC!!!

 

[alenz95]

How many of the other Sweet-16 teams have we already beaten this year?

 

[Kaner04]

Absolutely terrible coaching by Florida. First, you can't let Stritz catch that inbounds going full steam up the court. Second, you drive all the way under the basket with absolutely nowhere to go and no time.

Also, them pressing Iowa was how they got good looks. They had nothing in a half court set.

Flands was two steps behind him the whole time and gave him the entire court to run up. Then condon was posted up under the hoop guarding nobody

 

[Clonefan32]

Gotta give MCCollum credit— he coached circles around Golden. Floridas guards are atrocious

 

[Die4Cy]

Ben McCollum is a wizard? LOL.

Top instructor at Genitalwarts.
