***Official Iowa State vs. UConn POSTGAME Thread***

We only missed two free throws. Going to need that against Kentucky.

We also can't afford to cool off so much from behind the arc. We missed at least our last 6 attempts and didn't make any in the 2nd half.
 
Just heard on the postgame show that Royce was talking to Eric and John before the Baylor game where he said "I got this free throw thing figured out." What he said at the end of this game was "See, I told you so." So I can really see Royce doing that on purpose.

The kid has an immense amount of willpower. He's going to be much better at FTs as time goes on.
 
Don't think ISU made a 3 pointer the last 25+ minutes of the game. Never would have guessed they would win comfortably without making some big 2nd half 3's.

Great game by White of course, but also Booker and Chris Allen made some big shots and hustle plays -- two guys I have criticized a good bit this season. Congrats to all the guys, very satisfying win.
 
This had to be the best overall game ISU played this season.

Right?

If not, tell me which one was better.

I'd go with both Kansas games and both Mizzou games, possibly both K-State games and the home Baylor game. Those four teams are all better than UConn.
 
Congrats Cyclones on a HUGE victory. So proud to be a Cyclone. Nothing to lose on Saturday.
 
Great game by all the guys tonight! I'm so happy. Getting drunk as I type.

I don't even care what happens Saturday. There's no expectations whatsoever for this team against Kentucky. Might as well just let it all hang out and shock the world, right?

I actually think we have a decent shot. Drummond had 2 points tonight.... 2! I don't think we can do that to Davis from Kentucky, but I would have NEVER thought we could hold Drummond to 2 points either.

Go get 'em guys! Shock the world!

I'm not sure we've ever played as good as we did in the first half tonight when we took the 22 point lead. But then we started looking a bit rough during the middle stretch of the game. Glad we finished strong though and put those losers away.

Love it!

Strangely enough... Texas A&M, the first time. Total domination for an entire game. We had some rough patches tonight.
 
Whooie Coach! That was a dinger!

Great game men. Now dig down and take up another notch against Kentucky.
 
It is so great to have a team that is competitive and relevant again. Thank you FH and the rest of the team for making this such a great year!
 
Great win tonight gentlemen, Yr 2 in Hoiberg's career is a smashing success.

I was on cloud 9 til I just remembered we're playing UK in Louisville... ****!!!!!!! Why couldn't we have gotten the Cuse?

I think it's going to be a lot like 2000, with a completely biased crowd, completely biased refs and a tight game that no one saw coming. Go Clones, and shock the world!
