*** Official IOWA STATE Vs #14 Wisconsin Game(Day) Thread ***

[jsb]

Statement from Jay Cohen (AP Writer): "Wisconsin: Hepburn's injury put the Badgers in a bad spot, but the team just never got into a rhythm offensively."

That's how you're supposed to state that. The injury wasn't good for them, but Wisconsin wasn't looking good before the injury.

We know what it is like to lose a player to injury. Their fans will be annoying about it---just like some think we are annoying with the Georges injury.

But the media shouldn't make it all about the injury. I liked what Huggins said after the game. It played a part, but we still had to win.

Bye Wisconsin!

My buddy is a hawk fan who didn't see the ISU game today, but had this to say about Wisconsin...
"they typically are mugging their opponent and playing ultra physical and not getting fouls called often enough."
Thought that was an interesting take.

Unless I'm mistaken, Huggy before our game with them that TJ would have us in the Final Four...soon

This week will certainly help in the off-season transfer market

Guessing that Andrew Downs is almost as happy as us tonight.

He's not good anyway but I don't think that discussion crew will want him back haha.

They were dead silent and had to revert back to making the injury the only reason.

Seth looked a little uncomfortable talking to him.

The game turned on that injury. Even as a die hard Cyclone I could see that.

Sorry...that's not the game I saw. It played a role, but I certainly don't think it "turned" at that point.

Is anyone really surprised? Shocked yes but not surprised. Great tourney draw and play. Now, can Brock put in superstar show?

2 wins to the Sweet 16. TJ should be getting some votes for National Coach of the Year.

Have they already announced COY?

I'm a fan so I can look ahead. If it's Miami next week, you might want to get things in order to make the Elite 8. Yes, they boat raced UNC, but they hate playing against teams that play D based on getting beat twice by Virginia.

Yes we struggle to score. We beat Wisky at their own game.

Their D is playing really well against Auburn - they look a lot like a more athletic, higher scoring version of us. Tonight might be a bit of a fluke - not sure - but they look to be clicking.

AFTER THE WIN, TJ GOT SOME TATS

 

[cycloneworld]

I **** on Gabe Kalscheur all year long. And I’m here to eat a giant serving of crow. He was THE reason we won today. Well done Gabe. I’ll sit down and shut up now.

Is weird he has had two off games now. Looking forward to him being back on.

Agreed. But Auburn doesn't play that LE/Bennett type of defense we play. They seem to have trouble with teams like that.
