Liked BRE's quick shot put shot instead of him dribbling and putting up something contested. Interior passing by King more noticable past month.
Favorite Part of Tonight's Win?
- Thread starter CoKane
- Start date
Looks like a young Will Forte to me.
Crowd was great, my son was in line at 11:20 so I saw him in the background of free throws which was my highlight.
And too many **** chants. To me it just lowers the IQ of the crowd. I know, I'm old.
The crowd was terrific tonight. Our guys played their asses off, didn't play perfect and still boat raced those dorks.
He did seem a little awe struck tonight in post game. Although clear he’s pretty shy and not comfortable behind the mic. Leaned over and whispered something to Rob and you could hear Rob say “I got you”.
Seriously though, imagine going from home games at UNLV to Hilton tonight.

Yeah the ball rotated around the arc from one corner to the other. And every pass I thought they were going to shoot but every pass kept looking like a better shot. Then after Gilbert had driven through the hawk "defense" for 30+ minutes he makes a killer dish that nobody saw coming.
I liked the post game interview when the announcers asked Gilbert about that play and he gave some humble "I was playing basketball" response. Then the announcers says you can just say when you're up by 20+ that's what you do. They were like you just dominated this game you can own it.
I’d say my favorite part tonight was the fast start and honestly we never seemed to let up. We had killer instinct tonight. Hope that continues.

Some of my other favorite things from tonight:
1. The "You Need Caitlyn" chant from the student section.
2. #2 for EIU getting miffed about something halfway through the second half. He would just stare at the ISU bench. I predicted he would do something dumb, right before the intentional foul on BRE. He cut out early in the handshake line. I think he is going to be a problem for Fran.
3. Great timing for the playing of Juicy Wiggle. Best I've seen at a BB game.
4. Met EIU's Dasonte Bowen's dad at our post-game tailgate. Really nice guy. He was very complimentary of our Hilton environment.

He will be the winningest coach in Iowa history before he ever plays a Sweet 16 game.
This reminded me of the game 2 years ago in Ames, where you could almost see glimpses of Mad Fran, but the game got too far out of hand for him to fully react. You could tell he had kind of given up even before halftime I felt. I think he sat down the entire 2nd half. He had just kind of conceded defeat.
We dominated the first half, and then just mercilessly toyed with them in the 2nd.
Pure beauty.
I think Bowen could be a nice player. Only guy that had the stones to take the ball straight at us.
That was such an amazing play - not just an interception, but he launched in the air and dished to Gilbert before a hard landing. Just totally sacrificing his body to take the ball and give a teammate an open look. Blew the freaking roof off Hilton!
I don't get up for the big bball games all that often, but this one might be top 5 that I've attended.
Only watching highlights right now but a favorite is there wasn't a court storm and the players seemed very workman-like when the clock went to 0:00.
The clunkiness of the ESPN tournament might have been exactly what the team needed.

Just rewatched this clip and noticed Keshon pulled the “T” out taunting Iowa to take a timeout. Not as blatant as CG last year against Texas
Made ESPN's Top Ten this morning.
*They still do this on some old show called SportsCenter. I guess they just show a bunch of highlights from Youtube?
