SIAP, but "snuck" isn't really a good word to use for this context. We didn't play well towards the end of the regular season, but we were still a 6 seed. We were never on the bubble or anything.
Yes I am misremembering. The Pitt team that smoked us had to play in the play in game. It’s the 2018 team that completely imploded but then won the Big 12 tournament.

"Iowa Star Lucy Owens Makes Clark Proud; Puts On A Stellar Performance In An Upset Against The Higher Rated Cyclones."

"Iowa State Men finally get over the hump; Break 10-year drought in Carver"
I think it’ll be more of a backhanded compliment than that. That’s a little too straightforward

I wonder if TClone was confusing it w/ 2021-22 season, getting the 11 seed (even that wasn't extreme "bubble danger," although possibly closer than I thought at the time).

Side note: Regarding "didn't play well toward the end," I forgot how rough February was in 2023 -> 2-6.

My wife's company decided to do an impromptu Christmas party at the last minute and picked tonight at 6 to do it :mad::mad::mad:. They've only done one Christmas party in the 7 years or so that she has worked there. Got that news right after the Big 12 championship game, which was really the icing on that **** sandwich of a day.

So I'm mostly out here pretending that the game isn't happening.

You could always **** your pants. That’s a quick ticket out under all circumstances

I hate this f**king game! I've been nervous all day. And I shouldn't be.. we should smoke these losers... but we seemingly always play like garbage in this game at Carver.

You just know dang well their shooters are not going to miss... and the officials will be just as bad as they were in last night's game. Just hate it... wish we didn't even play this thing.

I could easily be wrong but this team more than any TJ has had seems incapable of shitting the bed. I think we win handily.

I’m pretty calm. We might lose, but oh well. We seem to play our worst out there. I also think this Iowa team is better than what some are thinking. Should still win, but hope we don’t see our guys coming out like they’ve never seen a basketball before. That’s what happened 2 years ago.

Theres zero shame with just tuning it out/off and doing something else.
