Iowa vs ISU sweet 16...

[docholihawk]

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......

I noticed Wisconsin had Big 10 tournament champions on their t-shirts. I guess when you know your good and relevant you don't need to skew things to get attention. Of course Jamie Pollard and Fred probably made the directive on that.

Haha what are you even saying here??? So because Iowa lost to 13 seed Penn State you have to pound the chest of your "biggest rival" Wisconsin for their accomplishments to make yourself feel better? News flash their success has zero correlation to your Hawkeyes. You are nothing but their whipping boy.

Hate to tell you but ISU is relevant. A number of people are picking them as their final four picks. Iowa? Well quite a few analysts like Davidson. Enough said.

That is why I love the Dance. Teams that think they are assured of a deep run can get bounced right out first game. Has happened and will happen again...Hampton says hi.

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!

I give credit where it is due all the time. Kansas has won 11 conference titles in a row, very, very impressive, and I give them all the credit in the world. ISU caught Kansas two years in a row without a top 5 NBA draft pick. I mean ISU fans claim they would have made the final 4 with Niang, and he isn't even an NBA player. Imagine how debilitating it is to a team to be without a top 5 NBA draft pick.

I giver credit to ISU all the time, but since I'm not completely delusional like you, so it will always seem like I "don't give them credit". I say Niang is a great player, but that ain't enough for you, you have to make claims he will Avg. 18-20 PPG. I say Morris is a great player and future NBA player, but that isn't enough for you, he has to be the best PG in the country, or people aren't giving him credit. It is funny that you don't think you are Lil Brother, when you come over here seeking validation for your team all the time.

I want to see it for this reason. It would mean Iowa beat a team that gets more respect playing in a weaker conference than the MVC champions and ISU doing the same thing to SMU.

I don't want Gonzaga to be able to make the claim that they own the state of Iowa.

You have always been a reasonable poster regarding ISU, now I remember you and I differed on the officials impact on the Kansas game with ISU a few years ago, but you presented reasonable arguments. The fact a rival fan gives any credit to the other team or its players no matter how big or small is more than enough validation, and not sure why some people need to press the issue.

Northwestern State says whats up as well.

I would personally like to watch Aaron White blow a kiss to George Niang as we boot stomp their *****

 

[Hawknick]

As much as I want to see Iowa stomp the clowns, I think it would be even better if UAB beat the clowns in the first round. Maybe on a last second shot, then we could let clown friends know about that shot for the next 10 years.

We would....we would...

Oh, and A Craft says hi too Clown fans

 

[RocknRollface]

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

Thats ridiculous.

gonzaga played a bunch of close games they could have lost in their garbage little conference, lost to buy at home who is not that good, lost last year first weekend as a high seed.

They are not that good and don't scare me at all. By far and away the weakest 2 seed, and weaker than any of the 3s IMO .

they wouldn't finish above 3rd in the big10.

I think Iowa is capable of beating them if they play one of their best games of the year like they did against Michigan or Indiana. However, Michigan and Indiana were small teams this year. Gonzaga plays in a very weak conference and even though the B10 was somewhat down this year I have to think the quality of competition Iowa has gone against would give them a bit of an advantage.

However, when I look at the match-ups it is pretty difficult for me to imagine Iowa pulling out a W if this game ends up happening. I give Gonzaga a slight edge when comparing bigs... Zabonis, Karnowski, and Wiltjer are legit talents and I definitely think they present more of an overall scoring threat than White, Uthoff, Woddy, and Gabe. We'd have to see great performances by White and Uthoff to have a chance. The guard match-ups aren't even close in my opinion though. Bell is a lockdown defender. He and Pangos are absolutely better than any guard Iowa has.

The BIG 12 had 70% of their teams make the tournament. I feel pretty confident 5 of those teams will make the round of 32. Say what you will that is extremely impressive.

The Big 12 has heavier favorites. But the betting public thinks both the Big 10 and the Big 12 will advance 6 to the round of 32.


Baylor -9
Texas -1
Iowa State -13.5
West Virginia -4.5
Oklahoma -13
Kansas -11.5
Oklahoma State +1


Purdue -2
Ohio State -3.5
Michigan State -5.5
Maryland -5
Indiana +5.5
Wisconsin -20
Iowa -2.5


Which conference is better? To be determined...

What I'm saying is if you're good you don't have to try to trick people into thinking something that you're not like the way clown college is doing it. Much like the way you're trying to post intelligent thoughts when everybody knows the loser d-bag that you actually are.

Final Four, and then they woke up. By many are picking them for the final four do you mean the ones posting on cyfan. Cyfans just like their team are not relevant. What are you going to do when Fred goes to the NBA and the sanctions come down on ISU for the illegal payments that Fred orchestrated.

Nobody hear is making FF predictions. What's up with the uniform thread. Cyfans in search of an identity. If ISU is so relevant why are there always uniform/logo threads on cyfan where the posters are trying to do something to be recognized. #little bother.

 

[WindsorHawk]

You said ISU was soft mentally. How did you like the three day winning streak vs. Texas OU and Kansas?

What I saw in the Big 12 Tournament was an extremely fortunate team. I won't say lucky because teams make their own luck IMO. Iowa State may very well be weak mentally. What I saw in the conference tournament were opponents which were even more weak mentally. Being better than bad doesn't necessarily mean good. It means not as bad.

Not to mention all of the deals he made with the police to keep his players out of trouble.

Being better than bad? If Texas Oklahoma Kansas and Iowa State are bad what does that make Iowa? They got absolutely embarassed by two of those bad teams. Literally not even close games.

Hahaha just because Fred doesn't sign three star recruit after three star recruit with no other major offers he must be orchestrating illegal payments huh. Oh congrats on yet another three star recruit with no major offers you guys are really stockpiling them up over there. Fred will be here long after Fran don't you even worry about that.
