Worst weekend ever as a Cyclone fan?
- Thread starter 1100011CS
- Start date
11:30 kick in Lawrence and 8:00 tip in Ames. The overtime made it a little tight, but it was still doable.
Had the same thought today...I can "relive" those feelings of the UAB loss easily. My guess is this loss will be a "yeah we lost" memory without much beyond that.
I felt it was a weird year....we had so many top 10 wins and on paper looks like a good year/made the tourney....but felt we were sliding February on and never really regained a positive trajectory.
For reference…
23 years later I can still remember vivid details of ISUs loss to MSU in the elite 8. I know where I was, all the players names, details from the game, etc…
23 years from now I won’t remember squat about this weekend.

nah, a much worse weekend is not having any ISU teams competing for anything in march.
Not even close. We've had eras in basketball that hurt when they ended. No offense to guys like Gabe, but I don't think this is at all like the end of the Tinsley and Fizer teams or the end of the Niang era teams. Those hurt because you knew those incredible runs were over. Yes, Joens and Carr finishing their careers on a downer sucks and I feel bad for them, but it just doesn't move the needle the same as MBB.
No there have been several that were worse, this was not even top 5
Playing MSU on the road to advance to the final 4 was by far the worst. It's not even close. Because we all know what a rare opportunity that was:-(

That still haunts me. Such a senseless act. And as a victim of violence myself, it brought up a lot of feelings you try to suppress. One of the men who saved me died a few months ago. I so wish someone had been there to help Celia.
It’s definitely up there as one of the most disappointing weekends, not necessarily “worst”.
Yep, the MSU loss is the toughest one for me as a Cyclone Fan. So close and if we win that one I think we are winning the Title. Ugh....still.

Not even close to being the worst. Like others have said the OT loss to KU in 2005 and the UAB loss will forever be the two games I can never forget for negative reasons: both times I sat quiet for a solid hour afterwards. If anyone has been paying attention the past couple of years the loss to Pitt was disappointing but far from surprising.
Here’s to next season where we can get some actual shooters into the lineup.

BUT at least it is now longer the go to clip/graphic for NCAA upsets....still stings...but at least not brought up in any random tourney game like for the first 15-20 after
Yeah that one sucked. Michigan State Elite 8 game is still the hardest one for me to get over. UCLA 1997 is probably 2nd. And I get over games pretty easily.
