You guys are nuts if you'd rather play gonzaga instead of iowa

I hope Davidson is the winner in that portion of the bracket. That's who I'd prefer to play!

This x 1000. I called it. I knew we would end up in Iowa bracket. Iowa did not deserve a 7 seed either. They should be playing Duke rd 2. How is Iowa 2 seeds better than Purdue and same as mich st. No. Oh well. Iowa will beat Davidson. Gonzaga well that's a diff story, I'd hate us playing Iowa in sweet 16, absolute horrible scenario losing to Iowa and them advancing to Elite 8. I'd move.

I'd go into SEVERE depression, that's for sure. Still can't even believe it can actually happen.

Gottlieb calling his shot - ISU v. Duke for the Final Four.

 

[jkclone]

You didn't watch Arizona play last night, did you?

Not much, but Texas Southern has already beat people this year. They're coach also coached Indiana to the title (maybe FF).

 

[swarthmoreCY]

So don't lose to a 6 seed? It's not like SMU was in the mix for a 3 and got snubbed. So what if they're the best 6. We're the best 3. We should win that game.

And we should lose the Gonzaga game- so none of this matters, right?
I'll pass on having slightly better chance of an upset later in the tournament against a team that would also have to win two games for a better chance of avoiding the upset earlier in the tournament.

I'm guessing we are session 1 tickets are cheaper

 

[Cardinal2001]

I like the path to 31 wins. We really have a chance at this, don't we?

Amazing times in ISU basketball, that we can legitimately say such a thing, and it's not complete homerism.

 

[PylesBBQ]

We play Thursday. The NCAA doesn't have times posted yet.

70% of the Big XII is dancing

who is that dude? "I like UNI and Iowa State, apparently I'm picking the Hawkeye State."

boooooooo

 

[Cy$]

didn't Larry Brown coach Fred?

I would think that would be an advantage for Iowa State, Fred should know his schemes pretty well.

 

[CyArob]

​SMU is pretty good. Easily the best 6 seed.

 

[Die4Cy]

I'd go into SEVERE depression, that's for sure. Still can't even believe it can actually happen.

Are you kidding me? We would absolutely drill them, again, with McKay and BDJ on a neutral floor. And to be the team that knocks them out of the tournament, well, there is years and years of mileage to get out of that. I may be rooting for Iowa for the first time in my life next week!

 

[Cyclonic1]

I am certainly NOT a fan of purple Iowa but they did get screwed - a top 10 team a 5 seed?

 

[cyclones500]

Iowa State has no excuse to not reach the Sweet 16. If Gonzaga is still alive at that point, that may go either way. Duke should cruise through the first weekend.

 

[jdoggivjc]

who is that dude? "I like UNI and Iowa State, apparently I'm picking the Hawkeye State."

boooooooo

Doug Gottlieb. And what exactly was wrong with what he said? It is the Hawkeye State (unfortunately).

 

[cyclonez7]

Let's hope Duke gets beaten early in the tournament just like last year.

 

[cyclonefan81]

Jim Calhoun is raving about Iowa State on ESPN. Thinks they can win it all.

 

[dmclone]

UCONN's old coach said ISU will be the sleeper.

 

[tman24]

Calhoun just picked ISU as the 3 and lower seed to do some damage in the bracket.
