We are in agreement. I wasn't planning on a Houston rematch until at least the Final 4, so let's hope Tech can pull the upset tonight, too.Well, might as well win this one, too.

UAB. Just saying…

23 years ago today. Let's avoid this.
Doesn't seem like that's the case. I think we can go to Omaha as the 3.IF ISU wants to play in Omaha next weekend, this is a game they must win. Losing to Baylor 2x will potentially drop ISU to a 3 and lose out on Omaha.
Depends on how much Omaha pleads for amazing economic impact. Bringing in another team from to hell and gone from Omaha with would cost the City dearly. I wonder how many Cyclone fans will be in Omaha?IF ISU wants to play in Omaha next weekend, this is a game they must win. Losing to Baylor 2x will potentially drop ISU to a 3 and lose out on Omaha.
Who is going to Omaha besides ISU?IF ISU wants to play in Omaha next weekend, this is a game they must win. Losing to Baylor 2x will potentially drop ISU to a 3 and lose out on Omaha.
That would be rad, man!I'd love to work at a nucular paner plant (assuming you get the reference since you have Homer Simpson as your avatar).
There's 5 guys on this team who can hit them, if even 2 are having a good night... watch tf outTre might be the bellwether. If he’s drilling 3s, look out below
Creighton is hosting so they couldn’t go to Omaha anyway. I think last night got us Omaha for sure. I think it was coming down to Us, Baylor, and KU. With Us winning and KU losing two nights ago. I think we locked Omaha.I actually don't see a way where Iowa State goes anywhere other than Omaha. Creighton losing last night took away the last domino that could start the perfect chain reaction.
That had nothing to do with the talent on the team, just how many attitudes were on that team. That is absolutely not an issue with this team and coach.
Right but they could have passed Marquette which would have sent Creighton to Indy, Marquette to Omaha and Baylor to Omaha with a win over Iowa State tonight.Creighton is hosting so they couldn’t go to Omaha anyway. I think last night got us Omaha for sure. I think it was coming down to Us, Baylor, and KU. With Us winning and KU losing two nights ago. I think we locked Omaha.
I see Baylor on some projections as the lowest 2 seed so I think tonight is a fight for the 2 seed. We lose we are a 3 seed and if we win, we might have gotten a 2 seed.
Right with ya. I'm sitting on a street corner listening to a guy sing across the street that I give him an A for effort but that's about it. The girls have been shopping for 3 hours.JFC how long can 2 ladies shop at an Outlet Mall? This is really cutting into my nap time before I crush cans at P&L.
14 seed, actually, but I get your point.
It's debateable, of course, but IMO losing to UAB was actually worse than losing to Hampton. Back in 2001 we limped into the tournament, so it's actually understandable (although not defensible) that we were ripe for an upset like that.
In 2015 we had just won the Big 12 tournament by beating Kansas by coming from behind and were one of the hottest teams in the nation. They didn't have all the metrics back in 2001 (ESPN's BPI, KenPom, etc.) that we have now (and in '15), but I remember we had a 90+% chance to win versus UAB according to ESPN's formula.
Instead the guys come out with frosted tips, Bryce DeJean-Jones (RIP) goes apesh!t in the locker room during halftime and the rest is history...
