Wasn't able to watch the game live so I'm trying to find the replay on ESPN+ but they don't have it listed. Anyone know why?
I think the replay takes a short time to return after the game is over. I think I have had that happen before.

Cant guarantee it but seems I have had that watching other things.

You know they gotta rewind the tape. :jimlad:

He is also among people helping the poster who got scammed. I know he probably doesn't want the recognition but when people like him do amazing kind things they deserve to be acknowledged for it.
Never heard about anybody getting scammed. It is funny that good people are usually pretty humble and don't want attention or recognition. There are still good people in this world.

They absolutely needed Hilton Magic.
This was definition of Hilton Magic.

The crowd willing the team to a run after looking outmatched in first 8 minutes.
Loose ball that seems to go ISU way, only to be pushed out to wide open Grill for big three.
Team pushing the crowd, and the crowd pushing the team.
Crowd ragging on refs for 40 minutes and using that to finally get some calls.

What a game and I got to see it in person (ears are still ringing) because of @Cycsk . He hosted a pre-game tailgate before the game and afterward I was just going to go home to watch online.

We walked up and he found a scalper with a very reasonable offer and bought it for me. I love the community we have here at cf. This was an experience I'll never forget.

That’s awesome! Props to @Cycsk, but still a mere pittance in return for all the gameday threads!

Yeah, people had hope but not a reason to truly believe and buy-in yet. Last year’s results made that happen but there some hesitation about this year given who we lost and the unknowns of what we gained. We will absolutely still have rough outings yet this year, it’s a byproduct of how the team is currently built. But Magic is back and will be for good with how much talent is now in the pipeline.

Agree except I’m starting to doubt the “we will have rough games” expectation. We played like ass offensively against KU and nearly won in Phog Allen. We have some many guys capable of scoring and leading that it will be rare when Grill, Gabe, and Holmes are all off. Not saying it won’t happen but the days of scoring in the 40s or low 50s seem to be gone (thank god).
