*** Official West Virginia vs IOWA STATE Game(Day) Thread ***

Are you still crying just because I laughed at your post? Go to bed, maybe take some melatonin.

A gummy would work better....improves mood also.

 

[CoKane]

Are sweet sixteens meltdowns?

I do enjoy those. It's probably not wise to handwave everything before that though either.

 

[tim_redd]

I guess I'm unsure who was called for a flagrant and who was called for a dead ball tech?

 

[rochclone]

I don't know anyone's age on here but I almost guarantee that this is a generational thing. Outside of Morgan and McDermott's tenure, every other ISU coach in my lifetime has made the tourney with at least some regularity.

Did they? How many times did Johnny go to the tournament 4 times in a row? Floyd? Eustachy? The only person that did it at that level of constantly was Hoiberg. So in the 40 years of ISU we have had exactly one period of time where we made 4 NCAA Tourneys in a row.

And Hoiberg's first two tourney teams had some rough starts in the non-conference with some really talented players.

I’m not sure those rules apply because there was no double personal or double tech.

West Virginia got a flagrant 2, and we got two technicals (Kunc and Grill).

Since when does "some regularity" equal exactly "at least 4 in a row"?

Seriously, your riding (yes I mean riding, not reading) game is off the charts.

Or a strong edible.

Late season is late season.

We are behind talent wise the last two season versus most league teams. Therefore, we lost more of a step than they have, and it shows on the court. Simple as that. Lipsey IS a freshman. Guarding Big 12 guards & playing in the most physical league takes its toll. We had a couple more miss games this season than last due to injury. Our mid-majors are seeing the difference playing in this league versus their prior experiences. It's taken its toll.

Otz & the team exceeded expectations half way through the season & this increased everyone's expectations the rest of the way. It just sucks considering how well they played that it couldn't be sustained. Limping in to the end of the season, I just hope they get collected & catch fire some & have a last push for a win or more during the dance.

Yes,this team has exceeded expectations. I think they can still do some damage.

Because that was the initial conversation between Alarson and me which you commented on.

That makes a little more sense. PA guy really screwed up announcing all those.

Losing that sucks for Gabe, because he brought it tonight. Could tell he really wanted that one!

That was my read on the rule. As a dead ball, we should have had the ball, no matter what Grill did

Good point. He played a hell of a game tonight, I hope he still has a couple Ws left in a Cyclone uni.

Seriously, your riding (yes I mean riding, not reading) game is off the charts.

Johnny went 6 times in 15 years
Floyd went 3 times in 5 years
Larry went 2 times in 5 years
Wayne went once in 3 years
McDermott 0 for 4 years
Fred went 4 times in 5 years.
Prohm went 3 times in 6 years.
TJ will be 2 for 2.

One coach has done it more than 60% of the time over at least 5 years.

 

[Final42b]

We need better players plain and simple. Going to be key to get a SG that can score in the portal.

 

[Cardinal2001]

I'm glad we are probably in, but if we're just gonna drop the first game put someone in that deserves it. I saw some life in the second half, but we can't close a game right now. We are afraid of the paint, our leading scorer doesn't any more, and our point guard doesn't need to be defended, so that puts 2 on Gabe. Grill is hurt, and frustrated. Man, this started out with so much promise.

 

[Darius Bieber]

Yeah my reading on it goes as follows:

WVU player got an offensive foul = our ball. Was reviewed and upgraded to an ejection. Then we got two technical fouls, meaning we lost that possession we just gained. Plus all the FTs.

 

[Cardinal2001]

Hell Drake won't make it in the tournament without winning the MoValley tourny, and they have 25 wins.
