ELITE 8 here we come!!!!

[Franisdaman]

Those final minutes embodied what Chris Street was as a player. Every guy on the court was Chris.

One tough @$$ team.

I have not watched Houston this year; will be interesting to see how this Houston/Illinois game goes.

 

[Franisdaman]

Is this heaven?

No,

This season just keeps getting better and better. Those last 10 games when they were losing by 3 points it seemed every game was a downer and now talk about the proverbial rebound.

Yooossseerrr

[TampaHawkFan]

What a glorious night!

Thank you Hawkeyes for making the NCAA Tournament special.

 

[Max Rebo]

And to think we had folks declaring this season a “disappointment” after the Penn State game.

I wasn’t alive when they made it this far the last time. Can’t remember 99 and the sweet 16.

I feel like a fat kid in a candy store right now and hope it continues.

We broke Nebby's will at the end.

We were all hoping Debbie would cool off in the 2nd half and they sure did.

Little Debbie Points by half:
46: first half
25: second half

71 Points Scored

I'm old enough to remember the 1987 Tournament and I feel the same.

 

[Gus is dead]

My gosh, did Beth get the right coach a year ago or what?

Well we wanted Devries according to Indiana fans and they got him from us. LOL.

Iowa was tilted all year by idiotic or corrupt big ten refs. This is in reality a 28 win team. Iowa with a fair whistle = dangerous as hell.

And to think we had folks declaring this season a “disappointment” after the Penn State game.

“What an epic collapse” “not even going to make the tournament now” what a bunch of clowns! I said it all along, if you were another team in the tournament would you want to play us? Well we’re seeing the answer and the reason why, cause we play unselfish ball, have a damn good PG and are tough as nails!

Szelc is still in the referee pool.

Ben McCollum has the Iowa Hawkeyes one win away from the Final4.

In his first season.

Fielding a slightly better than an MVC squad.

just 4 Little Debbie defenders.....

oops!

If you’re not a Ben believer, this alone should do it. The guy does it everywhere he has been….and now he’s done it at the highest level with a team of players that mainly followed him from a mid-major.

 

[Franisdaman]

Celebrate for an hour and then pivot to the next game

1 win away from the first Final Four in 46 years.

Would you want to play Iowa right now?

How amazing will an Iowa vs ISU CyHawk national championship game be?
