They we’re going to win a slugfest. The game was allowed to be played extremely physical. It’s crazy that there was so much body on every play, and couldn’t get a call.

We got nothing from three guys. Shot terrible with some good looks.
Except its almost as if our fans haven't watched the tournament before. It is always like this. It's always way more physical than the regular season And the muck it up "they can't call every foul" teams are rewarded. As long as we keep trotting out teams that can't handle physical play it's not going to end well.

We certainly didn't start our best players tonight...
1. Shayok
2. Lard
3. Wigg
pretty big drop off after that although Tyrese had a potential game breaking play the officials decided to disallow for no reason

Honestly I think this may have been a game where Jacobson could have dominated next to Lard. The offense wasn't exploding anyway, would two big guys really have been that impossible? It's like we aren't allowed to do it.

Yep fully agree. We didn’t have adaptability all year. We were deep all year never used it.

Just disappointing watching one of those most talented teams in a long time struggle.

Happened before though. Just didn’t feel this obvious.

In my lifetime Orr, Hoiberg, Floyd, and Larry got teams to play fearless. Chip on the shoulder, run and gun, play aggressive by cause we're Iowa State and why the hell not. We ain't Kansas and don't have All-Americans so why not be aggressive and go at them. (Iowa State fans love it, go down swinging if you go down) But with Wayne, Greg and now Steve it's looks like NBA clearout offense without the NBA players. Slow, clam, BS with no fire. If players are hot we can win, if not and the shots don't fall then we have no backup plan. No plays, no fire lit, no clever out of bounds plays to try to get a cheap one. NOTHING. It's all left up to the players and that is not cool. If we had Duke talent let them play pickup ball, but we don't so how about some plays and in game adjustments. Damn
