My bad. In tournament play I copy and paste most of it and with fewer games makes sense they would put it on better channel.

I'm feeling really good about this game. Washington State is not that dynamic on the perimeter and they don't have the size to contend with the Iowa State bigs. I think it's a good matchup for the Clones, better than the Drake matchup would have been. Isaac Jones is their one big matchup advantage but I'd favor Iowa State everywhere else.
They have the size but I'm not sure they're athletic enough to hang, especially if we run them a lot.
Pretty sure on average, Wazzu is like the 2nd tallest team in the tournament. Maybe someone who can spy the kenpom stat can confirm.
Aren’t they like the second tallest team in the country?
Best time of the year. Best hoops team in decades. We got some DAWGS on this squad. Let's have a damn day.
For all the talk about Wazzu's length, Drake didn't look like they had much size and they had to really crap the bed down the stretch to blow that game.
Fix must be in, we'll have 5 found before the 16 minute break...and still kick their ass!
For sure. Height is one thing, and maybe the size that NYCBFan was talking about was our probable advantage when it comes to how our big guys get after it. Wazzu has a slower pace than we do. And they also turn the ball over more.
You wrote the same damn thing before Thursday's game! You also bragged about "p!ssing in our Cheerios" after we beat Kansas, and then whined about people getting on your case afterwards.
Stop it with your "Look at me!" posts and stop your damn silly!
Not sure how the game will play out, but this Cyclone team has shown it can win in a variety of ways and I'm confident they will move on to the Sweet 16.
While watching their game Thursday, I didn't think WSU or Drake looked any better than South Dakota State. So if we show up and play our game, we should be fine.
Will be there! If it's a successful day, will stay afterwards and root hard for Duquesne.
Everyone is mentioning that Wazzu beat Arizona twice. But I watched highlights of their Pac-12 losses to poor Arizona State and Washington squads and their loss to CU in the conference tournament. They are long but not quick. They repeatedly got burned by ball screens at the top of the key leading to drives to the hoop. If you get in the lane they will leave their man to help leaving the kickout 3 wide open. Did not look like a top 25 defense to me. Offensively, they do want to grind the game down. They appeared to have decent shooting in those losses even though the numbers say they don't make a lot of three pointers. They go hard after offensive rebounds. Watching the highlights, they reminded me of Cincy this year, who ISU beat in the only matchup in Hilton by 9. Should be a good game, first to 60 wins it.
