Actually, just ask @ChrisMWilliams Its a line in the story he wrote last night.

"It’s frustrating though because Iowa State is better than Texas"

When ISU fans make fun of White, it's because he said it after losing to WI. Iowa hasn't been better than WI any year for over a decade at minimum.

ISU is clearly better than Texas and Iowa this year, not debatable by any metric except head-to-head, which would mean that ISU should be top 5 after splitting with KU. We're not that stupid.

I'm not sure why ISU fans are so confident they will get into the dance this year. Seems like they are squarely on the bubble. Their season could go either way at this point.

We were an 8 seed before the UT loss is why. We might have a crappy seed, but we'd have to tank at an Iowa Hawkeye level to miss the tourney at this point.

I'm not sure it's possible to sink that low for multiple games. We would have to have really terrible players and a lunatic coach who is a complete idiot.

Both teams were ranked when they met in the Kohl Center in January 2014 — Wisconsin was No. 4, Iowa 22nd. The Hawkeyes took an 11-point halftime lead, but the lead was down to a basket when coach Fran McCaffery was ejected with just under 12 minutes to play, and Wisconsin won 75-71.

"I'm sick and tired of losing to teams we're better than," White said after the game.

It didn't turn out that way. Iowa went into a late-season slide, while Wisconsin made it to the Final Four. And the Hawkeyes' tough finish last year remains a topic of conversation. Big Ten Network analyst Jim Jackson said Sunday that he's taking a wait-and-see attitude toward this Hawkeye team because of last season's downward spiral.

Iowa could change a lot of perceptions in just 40 minutes Tuesday at the Kohl Center.

Hawk fans are pissed at the ref but need to be mad at Fran for drawing up a full court in bounds pass with 3.6 seconds left instead of trying to catch it on the run and get a good shot.

Jok passed the legendary James Moses for 18th on the all-time scoring list.

That was horrendous. I thought the refs were pro-Iowa actually
