The last place Big XII team was the last team to beat the potential National Champs. That really says something about the depth.
That was cool. I really like Beard, and he conducts himself like a great guy.
Goes to show ISU had a team capable of making the Final Four by beating Tech in Lubbock and nearly beating them again in Ames. Unfortunately for us, we also proved we were capable of losing to the worst teams as well.
Happy for Tech but even more so for Beard. Just seems like a helluva good guy.
On the one hand i see this. On the other hand it definitely seems like the tourney has been called in a way that allows much more physical play, and i'm not sure its just our inconsistency that would have kept us out given that.
Completely agree. They are really letting them bang and hence part of the low scores. That I was not a good thing for our small team.
We needed to basically be Auburn, who got some really hot shooting and some luck (New Mexico State 1st Rd missing 2 of 3 free throws at the end that would have sent Auburn home). We had the capability to have a night where we shot very well from the 3-point arc. Had our guys gutted one out against Ohio State shooting as poorly as we did, who knows? Maybe we go all KSU in Manhattan on Houston in the 2nd Rd and rain three's. But in the end, there's no denying you need to be a very good defensive team to expect to go far in March. It's been that way for some time.
This one seems to have current basketball news..

Winston is the type of pg that I hope Jackson can become. Of course, Winston was a top-30 guy out of high school.
Great jobs by Izzo and Beard this year.

The Average Margin of Victory in Elite Eight and Final Four games was 4.83 which was the lowest in the history of the tournament.
We don't care, we just want to know when/where we can safely **** MSU.
MSU smells like odiASSe.
Nah.
It was the inconsistency.
Refs were weird in ISU's one tourney game, but it was ISU's inconsistency and cluelessness that lost it, nothing more.
You can say that for that one game, but i'm saying that it wouldnt have just been our inconsistency working against us as far as going on a deep run.
I would think so but not until next year because of Shaka’s buyout.
At that point I think Arizona tries to make a move.
