Good luck guys -> no offense but i personally don't want to meet you in the Sweet 16 ;) Wish we were on separate sides of the bracket so i could cheer you the hawkeyes all the way though, but it may not be possible.

Every ISU fan I know I bet will think this way. It is almost like Iowa playing ISU in football, it is a no win situation. If you beat us, well you should, you are a top 20 team all year long, and a #3 seed. If Iowa wins, look out, you won't hear the end of it for an entire year.

I just won't be able to deal with a loss to ISU in the tourney. Too many friends that would not let me forget about it until, well probably, the football game in September. Given the recent history I'm not sure that would give me solace either.

If (and that's a huge if) Iowa wins two games in the tournament, a rematch with ISU would be great. NO PRESSURE ON IOWA.

No one would expect an Iowa win.

My thoughts exactly. Whenever we lose, I will be crushed. Winning two games though would be sooooo sweet, it would take the edge off a loss. Like you said if we meet ISU, there is zero pressure at all, as we would be the underdogs.

I'm the same way. Want nothing to do with iowa in the tourney. Really bummed about the draw because even if we go to the sweet 16 somebody's road HAS to end there.

Doubt you will have to worry about it.. I will start for the Lakers at the Center position before Iowa beats Gonzaga in Seattle..

The players definitely haven't forgotten the disrespect that went down in CHA this year. Gotta get there first though..

Iowa's made it to the sweet 16 once in my life. I would absolutely rather lose to Iowa State in that round.

What??? Either I'm older than I think I am, or some elementary school prodigy just hacked his dad's HN account.

EDIT: I looked it up. I'm old. The last 3 times Iowa went to the Sweet Sixteen was 1999, 1988 and 1987. So that means that any kid in high school, or early in college for that matter, has no real recollection of the Hawkeyes making the Sweet Sixteen. I can't believe it has been that long. I guess a lot can happen in 16 years (marriage, mortgage, minivan and 4 kids in my case). We have a puncher's chance to get there this year. Screw it, I'm taking Friday off. Everyone's tax returns can wait until next week.

LET'S GO HAWKS!!! HeyLET'S GO HAWKS!!!

I disagree 100% I will be pulling hard for either Iowa or Davidson to knock off Gonzaga. Go Hawks!!

Looks like you should have taken my bet. ISU is a lock to go further this year than last, they won the Big12 tourney, and the Big12 should dominate the B1G in wins this year. I mean they have 4 easy first round games where the B1G has 1 or two. Big12 should clean up this year in the tourney.

West Virginia/Maryland would be really good B1G/Big 12 game. I really hope it happens.

The Big Ten has some tough tough games. I would be disappointing, but really not surprising if only Wisconsin made it. Poor Purdue...

The Big 12 is setup nicely for runs. Especially Oklahoma and Iowa State...maybe Baylor as well.

ISU is all cockhard thinking already that they will be playing Duke for the Final 4. Most ISU fans have us losing to david son. Man would I love to see ISU get bounced early and the Hawks win a couple.

The BIG 12 had 70% of their teams make the tournament. That is the highest percentage EVER by any conference. I feel pretty confident 5 of those teams will make the round of 32. Say what you will that is extremely impressive. You said ISU was soft mentally. How did you like the three day winning streak vs. Texas OU and Kansas? They are the complete opposite of what you said that team is full of winners.

Like I said, you should have made the bet. I mean yeah, you would have had to eat the portion about Iowa being better (talk about being completely wrong.....) but still the way the Big12 should clean up, you would have been raking it in. Too bad you didn't believe in it enough to bet it.

ISU won because an idiot took a shot with 10 sec. left, instead of holding the ball. They won a game because a dude missed a layup. I hope you weren't one of the *ucking idiots posting on Kansas sites claiming you were Big12 Champs. I mean you do understand the difference don't you? I mean even AlFraud won a conference tournament......

It kills me to say this, but it sets up pretty nicely for Iowa St. to make a deep run. I will be rooting hard for UAB/SMU, I just don't think it will happen . They'll continue to get away with showing up to play one half of basketball. Unfortunately, their fans might be right on this one.

you know he was, he can't help himself.
 
If ISU is going to keep digging themselves into holes eventually a team isn't going to implode and give games away like they have lately. Hell even against Iowa they didnt put it all together until the second half. Not really sure what their deal is in the first half of games.

Still can't give credit where it is due. No I would never talk crap to KU what they have done is incredible. Bill Self is the best coach in the country. I do however think we have the better team right now and we should next year as well. I will say it's pretty clear they are starting to see us as their biggest rivals in the conference. They respect Hoiberg. Good luck to you like I said if you get past 10 seed Davidson I'll be rooting hard for you on Sunday!
