Just finished watching the game. Had to go to a dance competition and was avoiding everyone and everything that was wearing cardinal and gold. Thankfully got out of there without hearing a peep about the game and was able to make it home to the DVR.

WOOOTTTTTT!!!! I am SO glad we were able to pull that out. Love it, love it, LOVE IT!!

Props to you for pulling that off, I'd never be able to do that.

Great game tonight, clutch second half. I was really glad to see Scotty have a big game on senior night, dude deserves it.

I'm so proud of this team. What a season. And they're playing their best basketball of the season right now. So much more they can accomplish.

I was so glad to see Scotty and Chris go out with a win at Hilton. I almost lost it when Scotty kissed the court. Fitting that he scored our last points of the season at Hilton.

16-2 at home, 8-1 in the Big 12. 2nd in the league in home attendance. Two wins over top ten teams. Absolutely incredible atmosphere tonight.

Go State! Beat Texas!

I would just like to thank whomever it was in the game thread that realized that their ISU rug was out of whack and fixed it at halftime to make everything right again in the universe.

That sealed Baylor's fate.

I love rushing the court. I'm glad that we celebrated.
The game is all about fun as a fan, and celebrating is fun.

My hats off to the best Cyclone team we've seen in a decade. Great job!
My thanks to Scotty for an iconic Cyclone moment kissing halfcourt. That's someone who's all in as a Cyclone right there, in a way that few people could be.

Awesome game, even better atmosphere! It was so loud in there the whole game that I felt a little nauseous haha!

Consensus is that Texas will be playing us for a tourney bid in the big 12 tournament. We will shut them down, but how many do u think they need to win to have a shot?

They just lost Wangmene as well. And Chapman rolled an ankle (with no one around). They have no inside presence now.

Texas doesn't scare me at all because they are a 1-man team and Babb erases the 1

I don't know what specific halftime adjustments Hoiberg made � but results were night-and-day.

According to his postgame radio remarks he told them to shoot better. Made me chuckle when that was his answer when JW asked what he said @ half. Also, I think the play where Babb got on the floor & got us the jump ball was a big turning point in this game. A statement to Baylor & also to our team that we arent giving this one away as easy as we did in Waco!

The team is poised to make a run in both tourneys. We have all the key components that teams need to be a factor.

The Thug: Scotty
The Assassin: Allen
The Cooler: Babb
The Cleaner: Ejim
The Beast: White

And off the Bench Mr. Hustle, McGee, and the Cherry Picker, Booker.

Fred was fired up as well. Lip reading him after McGees missed dunk, just put the ******* ball in the hoop. To the Ref after White was called for a charge, That was a flop that call is horse ****.

This maybe the first time since Homan left that an ISU team has been physical down low. Not just one guy is all of the bigs are. It makes a huge difference.

Remember when everybody was worried about going 0-3 the last 3 games and missing the tournament?

Glad to know the outcome, now lets go win the tourney in kansas city and then win the big dance!

I think most wanted to plan for the worst case but expected one win somewhere in the last 3, would have been ecstatic with 2 (which we are) and would have gone streaking down welch if we'd won all 3.

I am happy for all the players, especially SC and CA who get to go out as seniors winning their last home game. But I wanted to give props so somebody whose name I have not seen mentioned. I thought Gibson came in and did some nice things in the few minutes he played, put up a couple of points, and gets the most out of his limited time. I am looking forward to big things out of him down the road (along with the entire program).
Go Clones-you are making us all proud.

Great win, disappointed we rushed the court. We were favored to win, and we expect to win at home.
Enough with hating on the kids for rushing the court. The game is supposed to be fun and I'm sure they enjoyed storming the court. This game meant a lot more than one more W. It signified a turning point for our program. How about we all just appreciate this season and go get a few more wins in the conference tourney.
