Bobby certainly was in postgame. Blamed the officials, as they‘re supposed to get more calls being on their home floor or ‘home neutral’ as he callled it.
Bobby and his brother need intensive mental care. They're the closest thing to Bobby Knight I've seen since he left the game. They legit need help.

Hey man. I'm thrilled we won, and convincingly at a glance as well as on paper.

So no harm no foul.

I also spent the entire pregame warning ppl that Arizona State is legit the 7th best team at worst in this conference, and a real threat to make the tournament. A legit Q1 road opponent.

So yes, we ended up where we should be, and more importantly where we need to be.

So anyone calling me a negative nancy is pretty cool. Remember to never voice any doubt or frustration when your top 5 team plays prolonged repeated stretches below a B- level. It's so very negative of you.
The pissing rainbow crowd are just as bad as the pit of despair degenerates. Just keep it real. I felt the same as you before the game and for 35 mins you were right.

When you’re as arrogant as a Hurley, it is probably hard to come to terms with the fact that your fanbase is so apathetic that you get outnumbered at a home game against a top 5 opponent.

I find the folks who spend the postgame period digging through the game thread to quote and ”call out” doomy mid-game takes to be far more annoying/obnoxious than the doomers.

This team has the amazing ability to turn it on in both defense and offense, come crunch time, they are tough as nails. ASU reminds me a lot of the old Baylor teams with all their size. If they can keep that group together, next year they could be very good.

Hurly commented it was a neutral court today, took a shot at their own fans. Bitched about refs


Hurleys are just not very likeable! Bobby and passive aggressive go hand in hand! Even his few compliments came with a side comment, if his kid got hit like Gilbert did, he would be the first screaming for the flagrant, TJ didn’t say one word. I’m glad we have a COACH and not someone that is too busy having a fit!

Having been at the game today, I will say he should ***** about their fans. They had a chance to knock off the #3 team in the country and could barely be bothered to get in the game and pick up their team. The loudest that arena got was after we had that 8-0ish run to take our lead in the second half. I lost my voice temporarily after screaming during that run. I’m curious to rewatch the TV broadcast and see if that comes across

I love these coaches who put all the blame on everyone but themselves. How about late in the game, when things are looking like they could go South, you coach your kids up instead of yelling at the refs.

It’s like watching Deion coach football. All about me, me, me, oh, we lost? Well the kids didn’t do their job or bad calls or weak fans.

Dunking on people after the fact can be annoying, but some game thread takes make you wonder if that person has ever watched a basketball game.

A thread with our CF version of Freezing Cold Takes could be fun.

Or a college basketball season.

Or years when ISU was like an 8/9 seed type team or worse but could knock off a top ten team in Hilton while making the opponent look bad.

If you ranked this high for this long it's an uphill battle all season.

A 15 point road conference win is great especially how this one happened.
