Remember the NCAA game when Iowa lost to Northwestern State. The game was played in Detroit using the Oakland University basketball court. That's the only thing I could remember about Oakland until tonight.

I live like 20 miles from Oakland University. When my wife and I were looking at housing when we were preparing to move to the Detroit Metro back in 2011 apartments across the street from Oakland University were the first ones we looked at.

I hate Kansas just as much as the next person but them scoring 48 in the first half with a limited bench and without McCullar wasn't on my bingo card.

I thought they looked good.

I have them winning this one and losing to Gonzaga. Still a whole half to go, but I didn’t think Samford could deal with Dickinson and KU’s size. I think Gonzaga matches up ok with them though.

Samford isn’t good and KU should be able to do that with its athletes. The next round will be interesting though.

Interesting thread here. Maybe both of these nuggets have been discussed here so SIAP.

Dix rumored to be flirting with Creighton? Devries and Son to Okie State?

Dix kinda started to come around a bit for Iowa late in the season. That would suck as they have no one else to fill in for him worth a ****.

We can't have the slumps that we did tonight against either of these teams.

I really thought it just looked like we were chillaxing. Look, I spent most of a season in a bathroom. I get pathological ISU fan worry. Tonight never for a second felt in doubt to me. It felt like they came out dialed to a 9 and figured out going to 6 would win just fine.
