Hopefully the reaction is "meh," nothing we didn't already know and nothing we can do about it now. So let's focus on going down to OU and kicking them in the teeth again(figuratively - after last night's twitter debacle, I feel the need to be clear).

The only thing this should do is light a fire under the team's collective *** to do everything possible so the officials don't have the chance to steal another game from them.

KU is over, time to focus on OU!

On another note - Chris, when the schedule and results are updated, I think this one should have an asterisk next to it. Or, maybe change the opponent to "KU and the refs", vs ISU..... just a thought.

A stronger statement than I expected. I do think last night's game gives us a nudge in the right direction from the human portion of the selection process.

Class interview with Andy Katz! Good job Mayor!

That is not enough, and there is precedent. Big 12 head of officials apologizes to Mizzou's Pinkel for blown call seMissourian.com: College Sports: Big 12 head of officials apologizes to Mizzou's Pinkel for blown call (11/21/06)

We deserve and should expect the same. Nothing less. Don't freakin rollover Cyclone fans. This BS must end!

Bears repeating: If the NCAA tourney committee believes Iowa State SHOULD have won last night they can consider that a win if they want.

LukeMeredith ‏@LukeMeredithAP
That being said, Iowa State still has Okla, WVU on road, Okie State at home. Cyclones can render all this null with 2 big wins.

LukeMeredith ‏@LukeMeredithAP
@JMCato A win at Oklahoma might be more valuable than a home win vs. Kansas for Cyclones anyway _ weird as that sounds.

LukeMeredith ‏@LukeMeredithAP
To paraphrase what the Big 12 just said: Cyclones got hosed. Sorry. The two officials who blew calls might work a lot less in future.

LukeMeredith ‏@LukeMeredithAP
The question now for Iowa State: What does NCAA tournament committee do now that Big 12 basically admits refs screwed them out of KU win?

To Wesley, the tie breaker is only for tourny purposes. Teams that end the season with the same records are considered co-champs. Ref: Ksu and Ou were co-champs in football even though Ksu beat Ou.

Looks like the 7 foot white guy was doing the frisking. He almost tripped KL.

To be fair #40 and #5 look so much alike they could be twins. In the heat of the moment it would be easy to confuse the two.

Around the horn talking about it in just a minute

**gocubs2118** · 02-26-2013, 04:04 PM

Is this supposed to make us feel better?

We know KU has three easy games and KSU has one tougher game @ OSU. KU will co share with three wins even if Turnover City EJ goes back to scoring 9 a game. KSU finish is still up in the air.

I think people are missing the silver lining about this: The conference acknowledging this makes it much more likely that the Selection Committee would count the game as an ISU win - or at least not an ISU loss. The loss from yesterday may not be reflected in the seed ISU ends up with for March Madness.

Not saying I would do it, but I wouldn't complain too much if the crowd boo'd and throws **** non stop at these clowns next time they are in town. But hopefully they are never allowed back.
