What excuse will EIU come up with?

Whatever it is they'll not want to face the actual truth because it hurts too much. They had the better team on the court tonight. Don't fool yourself into thinking we were even teams. We won this one because of Hilton. Hawk fans won't ever want to identify that as the reason though because they really REALLY hate the idea of Iowa State having something they can't replicate in 100 years. The knowledge that ISU fans are better and our arena is better and they couldn't get there if they wanted to will drive them to insanity.
Clark as well. I seem to remember him saying ISU would be 0-2 versus big 10 schools this year.
Exactly. Plus iowa has depth... they know they can afford more fouls individually... so they play more aggressive D inside, and get more fouls called on them... whereas we avoid the foul inside (as we cant afford the fouls individually) which means giving up more baskets.
Point me to the post that I said that. Waiting for your video of tonight's gsme.
Nope, it is just me. But like a ginger ninja, I seem like I'm in a thousand places at once!
Iowa will probably use the same excuse we used last year, except we really played like crap last year. Iowa played great tonight. They're damn good.
By the way Dean, just to **** you off, I just checked all 33 games from the last three days. 13 of those times, the home team got called for more fouls, and 3 more times were the number of fouls called for both sides even. More than I thought...if you count from "even or worse", it's 48.5% of games. If not, then it's 39.4%.
I think it would be interesting to look at this year versus other years to see if it's increased since they're now kind of whistle happy with the new rules.

It's called a rivalry. You don't think this was Iowa's Superbowl? Sure, they play Indiana, Ohio St, and Mich St, but we play Kansas, Texas and the Pokes as well. It's a rivalry, plain and simple.
