The frustrating thing about the refs isn't that they're calling a bunch of ticky-tack stuff on ISU (there's been a couple though), but the lack of calls on Houston with them bodying and grabbing and hitting... like holy hell

One of the reasons why I’m not taking ISU or Houston to get to the Final Four. Can’t trust the refs. Any given crew that hasn’t really seen us or Houston before calling a game straight up would be a huge hurdle to overcome.

Wherever I go, there I am.
Kelvin Sampson complains his 1 player has 2 fouls so difficult for the team to play optimally, give me a f break.
Most of this game has been a colonoscopy of the eyes as far as watching the mugging going on by the Cougars.
Kelvin "Twice the Cheater" Sampson, argue this officiating not. I cannot forgive you.
As there are no trustworthy oaths between men and lions, nor wolves and lambs have spirit that can be brought to agreement
but forever these hold feelings of hate for each other, so there can be no love between you and me, nor shall there be
oaths between us, but one or the other must fall before then to glut with his blood Ares the god who fights under the shield's guard

Sampson is a ridiculous person. Imagine unironically making that complaint after that half. What a douche.

Just found out that Scheelhaase is going to the Rams. Why do nut kicks come in bunches?

when a certain sub-section of ISU fans make “Nut cups” their fan identity and something a like missing a free throw in the first half of the game is another “kick to the nuts” it’s not hard to see why.

Iowa State is pretty good at adjusting.

We were at most going to get Nate for one more year. The dude is a future star in coaching and it’s clear he has some big aspirations. Good for him.

We are usually on the other side of the first half body shot; good to see them respond like they did.

It's a team that seems to need a really good start so getting back in is a good sign of some growth.

We'll see how this 2nd half goes. Sampson doesn't mess around either.

I can see why Houston wins at home, refs can’t see any fouls on them. Houston 10 for 11 free throws, ISU 3 for 3. TJ needs to remind them of this discreptancy.

Agree completely. Playing this physical is going to really hurt you in the tourney. They aren’t going to let you play that way.
