I feel bad for him that he’s miserable after such a win.

You’re such a fraud

Close game so far. Don’t know much about Michigan but it sure seems like it’s a pretty good matchup for Iowa.

Michigan's not very deep and gets satisfied with a lead.

Perfect pickings for a prickly team like Iowa.

You’re such a fraud

Cheer up, they won!

Died laughing when Holly Rowe tonight commented that Cartier Diarra was on the sidelines as he had "lower abdominal issues" and yesterday she said that "his tummy hurt" as he had the same issue. She said she got flack from K-State fans for saying that. I was praying to God that she was going to say that he had diarrhea.

Frans comment about dinosaurs banging was better

Yeah, I bet Iowa wins this.

Needs some mashed potatoes during a redshirt season.

Heavy doses of squats and power cleans are needed.

Holy crap, we out rebounded them by 14?!

That was just a great win for Iowa State, we as fans have complained all year about being too soft. Well tonight, they showed everyone that we can handle the spotlight when its shining on us. We could have folded down the stretch, down by 5, missing shot after shot, but we sucked it up, and just went back to work, hit big shots and out worked KSU to win the game.

Go Cyclones,

Go Cyclones,

I agree that we played pretty well, but the second half we turned the intensity down a bit. I wonder if we were tired or if it's just a consequence of our shots not falling?

Likely both. Really forced us to play what I'll call a "cage match" against a team that excels in "cage matches". The Cyclones proved that they wanted it more. I love the heart. Team win.

We be winners, boi!

Or it could be that Kansas State had something to do with it.

I thought our guys played very hard all game.

I have never been to KC for the tournament. I saw someone online post they bought 2 beers for 30 bucks. Is it really that costly to drink at the bars there?

Not even close.

Just because there were mental mistakes that I pointed out doesn't mean I need to be called names or disliked.

But that's one of the reasons WHY we don't like you.

 

[ISUChippewa]

So I posted at the beginning that I bet on Iowa STate -2.5 tonight because I thought they would keep the same momentum going from yesterday. Jokes on you, I wanted them to win and cover, just like the rest of the season.
Just because there were mental mistakes that I pointed out doesn't mean I need to be called names or disliked. Shayok saved the day and he and this team deserves all the praise, but nobody here can deny that the offense went completely stagnant for most of that second half with no creativity to speak of. I don't know what you don't like about that. Same goes for the others disliking my posts.

Honestly, it's very hard to give you the benefit of the doubt when you are on record, on this very board no less, as openly wanting a coaching change.

Do not insult our intelligence by denying that. It is as clear as day.

And please stop whining. Any grief you get is on you. You.

Anyway...wow...what a win! I had to leave for an event for the last 8 minutes or so, but thank God for my ESPN app and DVR!

Yeah overall effort is fine. Just gotta figure out that sharing the ball is their jam.

Defensively we definitely turned the pressure down second half, and we got stagnant on offense. Hoping it was just a momentary thing. Effort was fine, just feel like we were deflated a bit.

On mobile during and after game so this is my first chance to post that beautiful flag!
