I almost thought the Sprint Center sounded more like a home crowd for us than Hilton 80% of this year. Sounded great! Hope that helps us the rest of the way.
I think the Magic got stuck in the Sprint Center after the 2017 championship

Congratulations on a great game today. You guys looked awesome.... You looked like a team that can make a big run in this Tournament and the next one. I'm sure everyone is going to talk about shooting 60% from 3 (yes I know it was only 52, but it seemed higher) and no doubt that was huge in breaking the game open... but for me the difference in this game and the 2 in the Round Robin was your kids toughness.... They guarded tougher than either of the Regular Season games but man did they block out and rebound tougher... It was night and day different.
I thought, especially in the game at Hiltion, that Baylor just pushed your kids around and they just took it.... today, I saw more than just push back... I saw them hold their own in Rebounding in a game where most of the ISU shots weren't reboundable because they went in.
Good luck this week and in the rest of March.

I thought the physical style of play in the first half was going to be a problem for Iowa State. I was pleasantly surprised at how they went toe to toe with Baylor on the boards from start to finish. Some hot shooting certainly helped!

hopefully one more win solidifies us as a 6 seed, would really like to avoid being a 7 and having to play a 2 seed fairly quickly.

at this point, I feel like it really doesn't matter. We either show up to win, or we don't. Until it gets to top 4 seeds, I think we can take on pretty much anyone. Itf the next one to two games look like this again, other teams should watch out!
