I don't understand why we didn't foul after that inbounds pass. I trust our offense's ability to hit a three more than our defense's ability to prevent them from scoring.

I don't get it this time either. We give them 2 and have a chance to control our own destiny on the other end. Tie or win on our own terms. I think it was a bad call this time.

No foul fred has struck again........foul craft and even if he makes both shots you can still win it on a THREE!!!!!


Way to go NO Foul Fred!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


and if we miss the three, you come back here and ***** about the foul. We came down from a ******* double digit deficit and damn near beat them down Babb. They are a ******* 2 seed and they had to take out a top player, get some lucky ref calls and nail a last second 3 to beat us.

Easy to second guess after the fact, but with the way Craft was shooting FT's, we may have been better off fouling him right away and giving ourselves a chance with the ball at the end.

Please tell me you've never seen a basketball game in your life before? Because that is the by far the dumbest thing a coach could possibly do in that situation.

Charge call was huge.

But doubters, WE WERE DOWN 13 AND CAME BACK!

Go away, those who doubted our magnificent Cyclones.

Yuck. I didn't want OT...now I do. :-(

It does seem fitting for our season. Man, make a couple 1:1 free throws or one less turn over and it's ours. Credit to OSU for making a big shot...next year maybe we get all the last minute stuff.

It wasn't the officials, people. Stop being clowns. OSU played a good game. We had our chances to win, and we didn't do it. We had the rebound at the end of the game, and it slipped out of our hands.

We missed how many layups in the first half? We had how many turnovers?

Any of you ****s embarrass the rest of us by complaining about the officials, and I will murder you until you die from it.

Fouling in that situation would have been almost as stupid as you making this post. Almost.

Good season. Great way to comeback today.

Just need to shore up a few small things and it's a completely different game.

Have to be proud of this team. Seniors played like seniors. Just sad we can't watch them again

Could not be more proud of this team. No Babb, very good OSU team, down 13 and they played their hearts out. Sucks to lose that way, but we were privledged to watch this team play this season. We're seriously going to miss those seniors.

Helluva year, Cyclones!

Great shot by Craft. Huge missed call by refs possibly cost Iowa State. Again, in,on,or above the arc and its a block. Refs missed it

Everyone saying we should foul doesn't understand bball strategy. Why give them two chances with a 75% shot to go for a win for a chance at a difficult 33% chance to win?

Literally the dumbest thing I've ever heard on basketball strategy
OSU was shooting over 50% and our defense has never stopped anybody at the end. MAYBE the best thing is to have the ball with an opportunity to win rather than defend the ball with an opportunity to to go OT?
