***Official 2026 NCAA Tournament Thread***

[BigLame]

The 2 public universities in the state knocking out 2 "SEC" teams. I'll take it.

 

[OKClones]

Bruce Pearl going to have little to say tonight. I guess he’ll go crazy over Tennessee and Alabama.
What a waste of camera time.

 

[Cyballzz]

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

I mean Kevin Ollie has a national title so it is possible for bad coaches to win titles.

 

[FerShizzle]

Lol. Well done.

Seriously though. Enjoy it. Second weekends are fun.

 

[kentkel]

I don't consider you insufferable (but doesn't mean I like you ).

 

[Cymark86]

They needed ot to beat Iowa at home 2 weeks ago

I do like this match up for Nebraska. But Iowa winning and Stirtz 0-9 from 3? Stunning

 

[GT25Ump]

This is a ******* nightmare. We make the Sweet 16, without our best all around player...and Nebraska as well as Iowa (after beating a #1 seed) make the Sweet 16 as well AND they play each other? The tri-state area will lose their minds for the next 4-5 days (struggling to remember that we made the same Sweet 16)........it just suits being a fan of Iowa State Athletics. You are ALWAYS the underdog and underappreciated....sigh.

 

[deadeyededric]

We won today, its been a good day. Some of you need to take a gummy

No way dude. When you're a lunatic fan!( And I was for years until I got a life). Iowa winning is worse than ISU losing

 

[GoSTATE71]

Yeah this is the worst possible way to feel about a tournament day in which Iowa State also won. Iowa beats a one seed and gets a one shining moment. Gets a pretty easy opportunity to advance to the elite 8 as well. ****.

We’ve had way more success than Iowa the past 15 years who cares, they might not get past Nebraska anyways. Our path is also favorable. We’re playing TN in Chicago, essentially a home game for us.

 

[Cyinthenorth]

He was a big badger fan iirc

 

[GT25Ump]

I had Florida as the 2nd best 1 seed after Arizona, what with Michigan and Dukes injuries

U were WRONG!

 

[Kinch]

Big 12 has an outside shot (still reasonable) chance of having three final four teams.

 

[rosshm16]

I'm a big Utah State guy right now.

edit: all you "Go Big 12!" guys are weird to me. We can win the whole ******* thing, get as many good teams out of our way as possible.

 

[deadeyededric]

I mean Kevin Ollie has a national title so it is possible for bad coaches to win titles.

Yeah Ben McCollum can't coach. He just gets lucky every year with every program he coaches then. Whatever makes you sleep better.

STFU

 

[Cyinthenorth]

The 2 public universities in the state knocking out 2 "SEC" teams. I'll take it.

But how many Big 10 in the Sweet 16? Half the field remaining field I think

 

[herbicide]

Iowa OR kNebraska going to the elite 8??

 

[67CY]

Man some of you are sensitive. Their fanbase is excited. Our fanbase is excited. With podcasts it’s really easy to take in only content on your team. I don’t get why it’s hard to just ignore Iowa podcasts or Iowa content on the radio…

I really don’t consider them as media. I am referring to local tv sports casters.

 

[FerShizzle]

I’ll tell you which conference clearly wasn’t the best this season. The SEC. What a paper tiger that league is. Propped up by homers and shills.

 

[Cyclonesrule91]

Yep, I'll avoid Iowa Everywhere this week for sure.

Not sure why anyone listens to that crap on purpose anyway!
