    Niang's 4th Foul

    I wanted ISU to win but the reason you guys lost is because you couldn't defend the paint at all. there were multiple times I saw #10 out rebound 3 cyclones on the offensive glass

    Natty Champ Curse

    did UAB win it last year? they very well could. what hurt you guys tonight was interior defense. at one point the announcers said they had 48 points in the paint. I was rooting for ISU. Niang had a great career.

    Sweet Sixteen Iowa State vs. Virginia predictions.

    I really think it comes down to how well you guys rebound and defend Brogdon.

    Any stories from the B12 tourney?

    maybe KU fans know the price will drop? why pay more if you can wait 10 minutes before tip and get them for basically free?

    KU won't be scared to play them or Colorado....KU seems to play like crap against the no name teams. If ISU can get past Purdue I think you guys could make the elite 8

    nobody would be talking about UCONN if not for the 4 OT game.

    Who do you want to avoid in the first two rounds?

    KU played Sand Diego State before Xmas @ San Diego State and won easily...I haven't paid any attention to them lately but I'm pretty sure ISU would beat them no problem. they play tough, hard nosed defense but they have trouble scoring.

    I want ISU to do good in the tourney as well as Baylor and OU. other big 12 teams I don't care if they win or lose, and ISU doesn't have a lot of room to talk about tourney success.

    there will be fans complaining about the refs, every fan base does that. I am not one of them...the refs aren't going to get every call right. he game is too fast for them to get everything right.

    I agree getting those plays to go against a team hurts...but the refs have to make that call in real time...they don't get to see multiple slow motion replays like the fans. being a ref is the most difficult job because they can do no right, some fan base is always going to be angry against them.

    bingo! I've watched a lot of ISU games this year and he has a tendency to throw up contested 3s which he could shoot at any point in the game...why he does it so early in the shot clock is baffling.

    I did watch the whole game. I think the problem with ISU is there is a momentum killer at least 5 times a game for you guys. ISU either has a chance to extend the lead or cut it closer and someone will throw up a contested 3 with 22 on the shot clock.

    whenever a team loses a close game there is always going to be a call or 2 that could have changed the outcome of the game. refs are always going to miss calls, they are human and things happen so quick it is hard to get all the calls correct. people just need somebody to blame other than their...

    COLUMN: Why Bill Self should be the Big 12 CotY

    I'm not sure. think about this though....how can Bill Self exceed expectations if they are predicted to finish 1st every year? shouldn't that warrant some recognition how he keeps staying on top? I fully expect Bruce Weber to be COY next year because they will have low expectations and they will...
