***Official Iowa State @ Texas Game Thread***

[Malone]

This team doesn't deserve to go to the tournament.

BINGO WE HAVE A WINNER. WE ARE CONSISTENTLY ONE OF THE STUPIDEST TEAMS IN THE COUNTRY

How is it possible that Texas won that game, when Barnes elected not to foul at the end.

Can people just shut the **** up about the fouling? It totally depends on the situation and in most situations, it is a total judgement call. I could easily make an argument that we lost this game when we had Bubu intentionally foul with 7.1 seconds left in regulation to allow Texas to drag out the final seconds and eventually tie it. But I won't, because I'm not so stupid as to think that there is only one way to coach.

We are a special bunch. We Cyclone fans. We voluntarily take kicks in the balls over and over and over. We enjoy it. We walk with shorts around our ankles, nuts spread out for all to see, and beg fate to blast us with steel-toed spikes over and over and over. And we come back for more. We welcome it. We live for it. We are Cyclone fans.

I feel like my screen name chose me, more than the other way around. No matter how many times it happens, I still don't see it coming.

At least the rest of the games we lose won't matter. We're already out. Future is bright.

We ARE Iowa State ..........We Can't WIN Road Games..........

We have now lost to the 2 worst teams in the league Simply Pathetic.

Goodbye NCAA hello NIT ..........

Very disappointed in the lack of a senior led team to come together at the end of hte year.

[Heilsqauvador]

What the hell was that no call at the end. Everyone scrambling on the floor for the ball... Call a foul, tie up, or a travel. That is a good way to get a fight started. Those refs sure were spineless at the end.

[CYEATHAWK]

Now you can worry.

[Clone_12]

When you don't play defense you lose on the road....period.

[CycloneRulzzz]

Just like the Orr Days.

[andymhallman]

Great, we get to experience the Kansas game ALL OVER AGAIN! Our defenders are guarding guys inside the three point line, AGAIN!

In double overtime, when we have five full minutes without Holmes and Kabongo, we still can't pull it out.

What more can you say about this team?

It was a joke. Clones21 started a thread Saturday saying we were a lock.

No wonder ISU keeps losing. He is the ultimate jinx.

[twistedredbird]

Chalk another one up to our complete lack of defense. Not hustling back after misses or makes, and playing absolutely no help defense in the half court what-so-ever.

I have to agree with this. This team takes too many possessions off on defense.
