*** Official South Dakota State vs #4 IOWA STATE Game(Day) Thread ***

[Cyinthenorth]

Yes.

Everybody is really good by the 2nd round but give me the out of state school vs. the one down the road from Ames.

I agree. And I think they actually match up better with us than Drake would, but I still don't want to play with that fire

It's incredible when I go back to eastern Iowa and nobody seems to know anything about ISU's players or even what ISU's done.

It's kind of bonkers.

To be fair, most of them also don’t know anything about Iowa MBB’s players or what Iowa MBB’s done. They’re all focus on Caitlin Clark.

A weekend in Waterloo throwing darts taught me that. One more lecture on how good CC is...

Since when does a 10 seed get to be the closest school out of 8 teams in a venue???

It’s only this year, in Iowa State’s pod, because reasons.

Or getting called a 'hater' because I have no interest in watching.

Like they're gonna pack the house. There are a whole lot more Cyclone fans than Bulldog fans.

Ive always found this to be an annoying part of iowa's fanbase.

They're never happy with their own successes. They have a need to have others celebrating them, to an annoying degree.

 

[CycloneVet]

I will not chill the F out when two of our most needed players go down in the final minutes when we're up by 20+ pts. If that doesn't worry you... so be it. It has me worried.

I don't think Lipsey's shoulder and Ward's foot were 100% coming in to this game tonight. Maybe 90-95%? So what if they are now at 70-75%? Would that have you even a little concerned about our chances of advancing as far as we're capable of?

You do you. I’m chilling out

Hawk fans do not like sharing this smaller state with another power state school. They want to be the one and only main state school and expect everyone to be following them and act offended when they do not. (Despite them never following their sports when having a down year.)

Wash St looks like they forgot how to play basketball this half

 

[Texbudman]

So do we want WSU????

Give me Drake. I will almost always take a mid major over a power six anytime.

 

[tim_redd]

I think WSU might have a higher ceiling, but I want them over Drake simply for the fans in the building situation.

 

[Texbudman]

Give me Drake. I will almost always take a mid major over a power six anytime.

Although I admit tonight is my first time seeing either of them play.

I remember another time where a team from the state of Iowa played a lowly 9 seed who basically played a home game.

 

[Gunnerclone]

Drake is just a high low interchange two man game with Devries and Brodie. WSU doesn’t seem interested in disrupting that at all.

 

[tim_redd]

LOL Iowa State fans getting a shoutout

 

[RagingCloner]

Was it Ward's knee or ankle that kept him out so many games early on in the season? If it was an ankle, and if this was the same one, that is not good. Just because he can walk without a limp means nothing.

Or, hear me out, it could mean he’s fine

 

[Final42b]

Drake is going to run away with this
