wtf nova? had a couple of guys open at half court

Exactly what the hell was he thinking?

Who likes NC State to the Elite 8 now?

finally something goes right, this should take some discussion from Iowa State's chokejob.

At this point just hoping Kentucky loses at any point in the tourney, would take coverage away massively from ISU and Baylor losses.

Hell I guess even if they win it all, that's all anybody will ever be talking about, so I think we're good either way. A lot of history to be made this tournament and the ISU chokejob will soon be forgotten by the national media(not by the fans of course).

IDK, Nova has had a lot of favorable seeds in the last 6 years and hasn't made it to the 2nd weekend. This is ISU's first really out of nowhere nutbreaker as a high seed with expectations. Granted Nova fans got to enjoy a final four in 2009, but since then it's been slim pickings for them.

I guess you could count Niang's broken foot last year, but they did win the UNC game without him. Or you could count OSU buzzer beater the year before, but I think most fans were still in "happy to be here" mode when that happened, not to mention we were a 10 seed.

We've got a few more tourney flameouts to go to match their pain though, lol.

.

The winner of UNI-Louisville will have one problem and that's travel. They play the late game in Seattle tomorrow and the winner will have a late flight back home plus lose two hours with the time change and get home early Monday a.m. Then have to turn around and fly to Syracuse on Tuesday I'm guessing,to play a Thursday game. How much will jet lag and less prep time have in the outcome of the game?

Friday game

This is so depressing seeing teams we beat like Arkansas and UNC going on to the next round

Only twice has ISU lost to an unranked team when ranked. I don't need to mention who the 2 are.

Rough to be a DePaul fan in the early 80's.

 

[HoopsTournament]

We beat 6 teams that are in the Round of 32.

Bandgirl tears while playing the fight song. That's dedication.

That's also an awesome future gif.

 

[shagcarpetjesus]

That's also an awesome future gif.

It's already on Deadspin, of course.

 

[Cyclonepride]

Nova underperformed their seed by three rounds. We did by two. And second year in a row that they did that.

 

[tim_redd]

Is it just a coincidence that a couple years after torching ND they look a lot more Hoiball-ish?

 

[CycloneRulzzz]

IMO Virginia and Nova's seeds should of been switched.

They had some great teams then, but did they not get it done in the tourney

I was wondering about that myself. We truly ran them off the court.

 

[Cyclonepride]

Burton is built a lot like Roosevelt Jones (might actually be bigger). Not sure their games are similar though.

 

[Cyclonepride]

Did that announcer really say "the junk of Roosevelt Jones"
