Nova does suck, they got blasted by Portland. UNC doesn’t look like a Top 25 team, let alone a #1 team.

Jim Calhoun said it was very good back in the 90s and early 00s.
ummmmm, if you are going to claim we got beat by the #18 team you have to acknowledge that we beat the #1 team.
UConn just had too many weapons, too good of defense, too good of passers. We looked like we were a bit tired (thus a lot of fouls), and just weren't sharp on the offensive end. Give a good deal of credit to UConn for that.
Overall, fantastic tournament. This team is better than last year. Freshman Lipsey > freshman Hunter. This year is still going to be a massive grind on the schedule, but no one is going to look forward to playing us.

Not sure who you're a fan of, but it's clearly not ISU
No. The fans have their whipping boys and there is no convincing them
Do you think Gonzaga is good?
Would you have preferred ISU played a bunch of G5 schools all weekend?
Doesn't change the fact we beat a #1 team this weekend. What other negativity you got? Bring it.
One of the key turning points of the game was when we cut it to 6 and had the steal for a 3 on 1 break and made a bad decision with an alley-oop pass. The resulting unfortunate carom off the backboard to give UConn a quick break the other way led to a wide open made 3 pointer. So, instead of cutting the lead to 4, it was back up to 9. There were a few other botched offensive plays after a steal as well - but that one really stuck out to me. Not sure we would have won anyways - but that sequence kinda sums up tonight pretty well. Our guys play with so much energy and determination. Unfortunately, the offensive skill set is limited.
tough night for guards not named Lipsey. Grill, Holmes, Gabe combined 7-30. 6 turnovers to 7 made FGs.
This season is already confusing. ISU won't beat anyone good but they won't lose to any great teams either.
Still really excited for the season. Most teams don't go undefeated the whole way.
I think we all know. @ZuriCyclone and @Darius Bieber are just butthurt Iowa fans. They get especially lame when Iowa loses a football game. It’s pretty sad.
