I didn't question anyone's fanhood, if you think they hit 7 wide open 3's in a row you either weren't watching the game or you're wrong. Sounds like he was at the game so I'm guessing he just remembered the sequence incorrectly

Could be. It always feels worse live than when you watch the replays. I just remember a lot of great looks for Baylor too.

ISU exits when they play against a physical defense and quick point guard. Those are typical traits of this years losses.

Right now, the way this season has gone, I fully expect us to come out in game one and dominate and win by 15+ points.

And then, typical of this team, our heads will be super inflated, and we'll lose to someone in the 2nd round we shouldn't lose to after being up by 12 pts at the half.

Who else questioned somebody's fanhood? I said he must not have watched the game since he was wrong about something he stated as a fact.
By saying someone didn't watch the game you are assuming he must not be a true fan. If Iowa State played better defense on the 3 point shooters they don't hit 14. It is that simple.

So I'm supposed to assume he's an idiot instead?

Why would that make him an idiot for saying they got open looks? They hit 14 threes. By saying the defense was good that makes me wonder what people are watching.

He said they made 7 wide open 3's in a row and argued it as a fact. You even discredited bringing up Chery's 3 over Hogue

That was the only tough one I remember. I remember a ton where our guy had to sprint out there because they completely left their guy to help someone else.

Are you paying and donating enough to ask that question?
Erik, I've always enjoyed your posts. When I said the season ticket thing I wasn't saying he's a bigger fan because of it. I simply brought up the season tickets because one poster questioned somebody's fanhood saying obviously they didn't watch it. It was to defend somebody who I know won't miss a game. Everyone on here is a fan regardless of the money they spend or not.

He literally just told you that's not why he brought up if he watched the game or not.

Just want to make sure this isn't becoming part 2 of the f-word forum.

I wouldn't let it get there. I know the rules of fanatic and I'm always going to respect those rules and keep my comments about basketball. On second thought I am not sure we are talking about the same f-word. Lol

If you think we played good defense on those 7 straight 3's I don't know what to tell you.

I wouldn't give up on this team yet... A five seed could be in the making if we continue to struggle with games in the future. I don't believe this team is going to completely implode down the stretch going into the NCAA Tournament. Sometimes lower seeds are not always that bad. The pressure isn't as bad as far as someone trying to upset you. In the tournament it isn't always about obtaining a high seed as it is getting a good matchup in your favor or a good bracket. Connecticut was a seven seed last year and won the whole damn thing so don't give up yet! Breathe, relax, and enjoy the rest of the basketball season. Because once it is over, you will be yearning for Hoiball next year. Smile Cyclonefanatics! We are dancin'!!
