So the real questions is...... If ISU gets matched up with Alford/UCLA in the second round, who do Hawk fans root for?

I can live with that. As soon as the tournament is over and the transfers start swirling (there have already been several announced), ISU will have a really good shot at whichever transfers they want (assuming they fit a need and we can offer some PT). It makes for a really fun April/May...

Outside of the very top teams (ala Kentucky, Wiscy, etc) luck is usually involved to some degree with most teams. We were a little lucky this past weekend?.... Yes, especially when Spangler missed a bunny for the tie in the Semis. But I'm not sure you can say we're mentally weak at this point...

Wyoming will give UNI all they can handle, IMO

Frankly, I think basketball arena atmosphere is widely overrated for a reason for recruits to choose a team from what I've seen. There are plenty of examples of schools with really boring atmospheres, and even low turnout, yet schools continue to land great recruits. Geography often trumps...

You can't blame two players falling short of expectations for setting a program back. Some recruits are underrated, and others are overrated, but at the end of the day, it's Fran's responsibility to either over-recruit said players, or develop the current ones. Fran had two highly rated...

This is one of the dumbest "hypothetical arguments" I've ever read on a message board, which says a lot.

I see Thomas staying at least through next year. Even with Naz, Cooke and Burton, I see Thomas's role increasing next year. Burton will have to sit the fist semester, so that gives Thomas a great opportunity to increase his role. If he can't break out next year, then it wouldn't be...

I voted yes, fwiw because I don't think Iowa's nearly as bad as they looked last week, but they're squarely a bubble team, IMO. Too early to know obviously, and Friday will go a long way towards answering this question. Iowa really needs to step up their guard play, that much is obvious...

He gets a ton of crap from Hawks, non-stop on twitter. He blew them a kiss. Move on.

And we still would have won by a dozen

We probably played about as well as we could without BDJ and McKay in that spurt where we put it out of reach, I'll give you that. But keep in mind, if we met again, we would have 2 of our best 5 or 6 players back. Also, Friday could have been a 30+ point win, if ISU would have kept pushing...

I can totally get being annoyed with the crap talking. I hate that stuff too and would hate it if Iowa was doing it to us, but you should never go to the fugly card with the team that Fran has assembled. You can't really win that argument with any team in college sports from what I can tell.

Why are you wondering what is being said at CF, when apparently you know what Cydkar said about Percy over there? I don't think much was said of him until we heard that we offered tonight. Looks like this kid blew up this summer and is pretty much new on everyone's radar screen.

Ya, it happens all the time. Most fans, especially opposing fans cannot grasp that. Players get better, and it's the sum of all your parts, not 1-2 players anyway. You can lose your best scorer, but if you have 1-2 current players that get better, and a newcomer that moves into a spot and is...

Two moped incidents for one legit DUI? Interesting....

I would consider Cooke more of a combo and Jok more of a wing though.

I don't see him leaving over 2 moped incidents, but it would be interesting if he did need to or want to leave if ISU would get involved. I know Fred liked him out of high school, but was forced to stop recruiting him early on because of the Lefty Moore recruiting violations. Jok was one of...

What??

I agree. This sounds like a huge overreaction IMO.
