If we play like tonight, we can go all the way. If we play like we did against Tech, you know what else can happen. I'd like to think we will come out hungry again. Go Cyclones!

You said it. Hopefully we play with a chip on our shoulder Sunday

Man, did we make them look stoopid-ugly and flat-footed. tOSU has speed at about all positions so I hope we can contain and execute. But they will connect on a lot of transition baskets.

I'm still trying to comprehend how SLOW ND actually was...man they looked bad. Ohio State will be another story.

The ONLY thing is that Hoiberg just didn't call enough timeouts. :jimlad:
All kidding aside, the timeout at the end of the half was awesome to set up Clyburn's full court drive.
Use it or lose it timeout. Great morale lifter at halftime.

Great win, ND just wasnt used to playing teams with speed and athletic ability we have. Have to admit, its been great to see great officiating so far during the tournament so far, nice to be away from the big 12 refs.

I was incredibly worried about our bigs getting into foul trouble and being outmanned but Niang and Ejim whooped their ***

exactly; i was very worried about sitting them both with two fouls in the first half, but we played very well. can't believe all the TO's we forced - that will not happen vs tOSU

Melvin and Georges on CBSSports in press conference. Very composed and confident. Way to represent!

I have not seen this Iowa state team all season, I felt like every play was scripted and they just executed. Did we just play some crazy defense or notre dame does not know offense.

I wonder what kind of plan Mayor has for OSU.....

Yep a much tougher challenge. It's the spot I've been waiting all year for though. Getting to play on a big stage against a good team that only has two days to prep for us.

Woo hoo! My brand new (free!) ISU basketball t-shirt is 1-0!

I loved Clyburn going coast-to-coast at the end of the half. I loved the authority Korie had with that pass to Ejim for the dunk. LOVED Georges. He is an extremely intelligent player, and he had the touch tonight.

Sooooo wanting Sunday to be here. Nervous about playing OSU basically in their backyard.
