Our guys wouldn't shake hands?

[runbikeswim]

hey cut them some slack. they where under the impression that dying your hair and just showing up wins you the game...

It wasn't the guys that died their hair that played like crap.

I was at the game. The team did shake hands, the only one I specifically saw leave without was Hogue, but pretty disappointing last game for him.

There you have it.

Bill Plaschke literally might be the worst sportswriter in the country.

This. From what I saw our kids handled this gut wrencher as well as can be expected, especially since they were in shock. But give UAB credit, they have some good players and out fought us. And today we had two bad halves where the ball wouldnt' drop. I think everybody going into this game thought it was an automatic win, fans included. Maybe everybody was still a little too high after the KU win and believed all the Final 4 predictions. We were set up for a big fall and UAB was good enough to make it happen.

I would honestly be surprised if any long-time cyclone fan went in thinking this was an automatic win. I know I didn't - too much history and torture to think anything is automatic.

Bill Plaschke :Many of Iowa State's players walk off without shaking hands...classless ending to a classess effort..something wrong in that locker room

Iowa State slamming things on bench, McKay actually walked off toward tunnel...this team has issues, showed the whole game...

Not true at all. They showed ISU players congratulating UAB players for quite a while after the game on TV. Niang especially was having conversations with some of the UAB guys.

 

[isutrevman]

something happened between the tourney and that game. don't know what happened but the whole team looked mad at each other. not a good look considering the week they just had (maybe the best collective week in recent ISU basketball history)

Or they just played bad, which has happened from time to time this year, and every year.

Lowest point production of the year?

I expected a win. Was prepared for a kick in the nuts but it still hurts.

Im fine with losing to better teams. But not teams far inferior that us. If we put forth effort and played our A game isu wins 10 out of 10 times

 

[ISUFan98]

This team is as good at avoiding handshakes as they were rebounds.

That's what makes CBB great. If everyone played their A game every single time you could pretty much just put the season down on paper and not play any games.

i really hope this is not true. what possibly could have changed between last Saturday and today? so bizzare.

Ill tell u what changed...the outcome. It's times like this that we find out what we are really made of

Agreed with isutrevman. We didn't shoot well or rebound. Why does there have to be something deeper? We lost, it sucks, and we'll have to move on.

Internet. Broken. Average BB season CF posts fall by 50%. Great post.

 

[CycloneErik]

I think only a couple guys didn't shake hands. Nothing to blow out of proportion.

You're Internetting wrong.

Rogue program. Guys probably snuck out early to go thug somebody up.

 

[Blandboy]

Would that make them "deadheads"? I think it's spelled "dyed"...

 

[NickTheGreat]

This is being blown out of proportion, but I hope this isn't true.

You got BEAT by a CUSA team in the first round. Physically, mentally, and fundamentally. Be a man, and congratulate the other team. I don't want them to play poorly AND be poor-sports.

Geez guys relax. We all saw them shaking hands, if a couple walked off it won't be the last time you see it this weekend

Who cares if we're classy or not. We're not playing to make friends.
