I mean Houston has taken 16 threes. Do you even know basketball?
I know a charge when I see one. Lol. That one ref may as well be wearing ISU warmups.
For what it’s worth the fouls sending our bigs to the line actually advantage Houston
Two huge threes by Isu. They lead by two under a minute to go.
When he said that, I didn't see any magic. I saw a couple of defensive breakdowns by UH lol.
Play of the game was the dumb ref calling a kick against Houston that clearly wasn’t. Then ISU hit a 3. Hilton magic 
I'll be jealous when they win a national championship before we do.ISU is good. I'm jealous.
Otherwise, there's no sense in crying over a regular season and conference tournament that the people in control of college sports are bound to take every chance they can to make it as meaningless as professional sports have made theirs.
It's all about the tournaments that crown the final champion now, unfortunately.
The rest is just fluff for the fans who don't know yet what is happening to college athletics behind the scenes.......
That said, it would be nice to get back to beating Iowa State when we play them.
They're very good in Hilton. They just lost to a pretty bad TCU team on the road. Get them outside of Ames where they're not getting all the calls and they're very beatable. Good team for sure. But come tourney time they'll probably do what they usually do which is lose on the first weekend because they're not playing at home.ISU is good. I'm jealous.
What? Look up their road and neutral record and tell me how that goes. Also, TCU would beat us. They beat Florida. They beat Wisconsin. Lost to Michigan by 4. Beat Iowa State. How are they 'pretty bad'?
“What they usually do” is way better than what we usually do.
With that said, they’ve hit the Sweet 16 two out of the last four.
I mean, i get the hate since you're a homer & trying to minimize another teams accomplishments & all that. But it seems you're raising the bar to an almost once in a lifetime achievement that takes a lot of luck in the draw no matter how good any team is. You say not jealous until they win a natty!!!? lol, thats doosh troll mode x 10 simp master, Soon enough ISU wins a NC & you're gonna say "well they need to go back to back to prove it like a game of horse, cuz they got lucky!!! Listen, as of now & across the nation sweet 16's are still a hell of an accomplishment.
Facts you cannot deny:
1999 - Dr Tom & Iowa's last S16
1999 - ISU Elite 8
2014 - ISU S16
2016 - ISU S16
2022 - ISU S16
2024 - ISU S16
Deal with these stone cold facts, adjust your mentality accordingly and comment again once you've really thought about it?

Well since I've struck a nerve, let me strike another...............Iowa > Iowa State.
Yeah that was pretty bad. Had a few last night. I think it was the envy speaking. Lol.
Dumb post by me. They're irritatingly very good.
ISU could win a national championship in every sport and Iowa lose every game in every sport, and I still wouldn’t be jealous.ISU is good. I'm jealous.
