Today feels even worse

- Start date
Yeah, Parker and Hamilton had bad games and they still won. If Hamilton gets any sort of consistency, and they don't listen to Steve too much, they could make the final 4.
we weren't clearly the best team, we were way too inconsistent. Most talent yes, but UNI is the best team. Unfortunately, Iowa played there best game of the year last night and I expect them to beat the Zags.
Yeah...I was somewhere between numb and dare I say relieved on Thursday. Just tired of stressing over long, repeated bad stretches of basketball. The eventual comeback wins would temporarily erase the memories of poor play only to be reminded the following game as we again struggled through long stretches of underwhelming play. I would never trade the big 12 tourney win, but it set us up poorly for the ncaa's.
Now it is hitting me more and more on what we are missing out on as the tourney move along.

This is the day it hits the team. I don't think they really realized how ****** that loss was until they wake up this morning and realize they should be playing a game today, not sitting in their apartments.
Hopefully this is the day their mindsets change. The whole "walking in and beating anyone without trying" mentality ends today. I don't think it ended Thursday, because I don't think they realized how bad that loss was because their was no consequence. They see the consequence now.

I really hope you are wrong. I don't even live in Iowa and the thought of the Hawks making a deep run would be a real nut shot. Gonzaga looks like that team that has the chip on their shoulder. Too many early exits in recent years. Lots of questions about how good they really are. Had ISU survived, I think the Zags would have been a very tough out. Mark Few has that group dialed in. They have something to prove and I don't think Iowa can stop them.
I'm still watching the tournament because there are still teams I cheer for in this thing (Wisconsin for one, and I've gone from a big time Gonzaga hater to a big time Gonzaga fan), but I want nothing to do with this UAB-UCLA game.
Me too. It makes me sick seeing these two teams play. We play our C game, we destroy both of these teams. We brought our F- game Thursday.
Guess I'm pulling UAB, can't stand UCLA.
More angry texts coming in from friends who had ISU going deep, like it's my fault!
It is. **** you, Spanky, for ruining our season!
Yeah, I'm apparently also responsible for all the busted brackets at work since I'm the only Cyclone there. Can't wait for this ******* tournament to be over. Don't even give the teams any days off. Just play every day this week and get this **** over with.

I'll be taking heat for our loss thru next weekend. I heard something like 96% of brackets had us winning at least one, lots more angst coming our way.
