ISU blowing out KU in 2nd half of B12 title game
- Thread starter Phenomenally Frantastic
- Start date
Translation —- the Big12 gets rankings not results.
If memory serves me right, the players and coach had a hissy fit at the end of the game. I think the ISU coach lost the most important game ot the year unless you can point me to another game where the coach and their center should have been bitch slapped lol
Really? Tell that to all the so called experts who think it's the top conference....again.

You’ve lost all credibility with your “coach doesn’t care” comments. Enjoy your win dude.

Iowa gets neither. If watching other B10 teams succeed floats your boat, more power to you.
There is a reason the selection committee stopped using the RPI. Good run to win the conference tournament as I wish the Hawks could do half of what ISU does in it.
I’m all about the B1G which has a long standing tradition with teams that have fan bases.
To me it looks like they start 2 5th year Seniors and a 4th year Junior but maybe they start 6 guys.

I am not seeking anyone's credibility.
I will end my night with this nugget.
Since 2014, ISU has won 4 conference tournament championships. In that same span, Iowa has won 2 games.
A loss on December 6th < a Big 12 tourney title. End of conversation
If the tables were turned, every Hawk fan on the planet would feel the same way.

the one problem iowa has is once u figure them out they are easy to beat. usually iowa is much better in december than isu every year because fran get his teams ready quick but they dont advance much after that partially because of coaching and partially because of personnel. isu to their credit has reinvented themselves a few times this year and they have been harder to figure out for the competition in the last few games but i digress the toughness of the big 10 and acc usually wins out in ncaa tourney so isu will need toughness to advance.
Not really —- there’s no comparison between our leagues. The Big 12 has fewer members by a lot, small fan bases and very few programs with any history. Be happy for yourself but the two leagues share nothing in common to compare. ISU has never won the B1G or B1G conference tourney. When that happens gloat all you want.
I'll go ahead and say it... I'd take Isu's personnel over Iowa's at this moment.

the big12 has been miserable in ncaa but they did get 3 in the elite 8 last year so they have been improving. its not a talent issue where big12 has struggled. it all toughness and inability to play a slower paced game. the big 12 has as a whole put more emphasis on defense and toughness though in the last 2 years i have noticed. for example iowa is less talented than isu but was much tougher in the game against isu. but as isu defense has improved and iowa offense and defense in stagnation i would expect if isu could match iowa toughness isu would handle easily because of the better personnel.

the same reason why iowa beat isu is the reason why isu went 9-9 in conference. lack of toughness and inability to rebound. isu just won the conference tourney because of improved rebounding and improved toughness. an example of the improved toughness is driving and drawing fouls which they kept doing over and over in the last 3 days.
Not gloating, just stating a fact.
Iowa should thank their lucky stars they dont play in Big 12. No where to hide. No unbalanced schedule.
Big 14 has 2 teams capable of making a run in NCAA (Michigan and Sparty). Purdue lost all credibility losing to MN. Wisky? Nice team but not a real threat. 2 teams out of 14. I wouldn't call that a real good league.
My opinion doesn't matter, but the national basketball guys' does. They all say ISU is one of those teams able to make a run in NCAA.
What a BTN announcer says about Iowa is irrelevant. They are paid to pump up all 14 teams. I laughed last night watching the Iowa game (mostly at the score) when they said "if Iowa is shorting well they can beat anyone in the country". What a homer comment. The same could be said about UNC Wilmington.

Results matter. Not opinions. I realize that you beat the best in your conference, but IOWA ripped your arms off and beat you with them. If you want to celebrate your tourney win, I commend you. Trying to convince people that you are better than a team who woodshedded you on their own board is ridiculous. Go celebrate and stop trying to convince us that results are irrelevant.
Glad you care enough about the Hawks you watch us and hang out on our board because I can’t say I do the same for ISU.
I would hope ISU could make a run one of these days given all of the great seeds they have gotten over the recent years. The keys for ISU is play close to home and avoid the ACC & B1G. They need that diet of mid-majors, PAC-12 & SEC powerhouses to show the world they invented the game of basketball.
I’m not high on Purdue either but ISU did find a way to lose to them too in the big dance and Painter is known as a tourney choker.
Hah! Posting on a clown site (as a Hawkeye fan) might be the only way for me to ‘attain your lowly level,’ but thankfully I don’t suffer from the same small dick syndrome that you do.
That is one of the worst Kansas teams I have seen in a while.
Big 12 has a lot of solid teams but in my opinion no high-end Final 4 type teams. I’m pretty sure the Top 3 Big Ten teams would have won that conference.
I’ll just wait until the tournament plays out and Big Ten will probably have 2-3 teams in Elite Eight and Big Twelve will have none.
2016-2017 ISU backcourt
Naz Long -> NBA
Monte Morris -> NBA
Deonte Burton -> NBA
Nick Weiler-Babb -> projected 2nd round of the NBA
Talent.
Ha you guys would know that better then anyone. That’s why Cycline fans are always hanging out in this board arguing their relevance as Iowa keeps beating then in every sport.
Wait ... how come ISU fans don’t let Iowa fans use this exact same excuse about Ferentz?
I’m not disagreeing with you,
I’m saying can’t it be both?
Again, why are Cyclone fans such hypocrites then when Ferentz has lost in football to ISU because “he doesn’t take it that seriously” and always ends up having a better overall year then ISU? You can’t have it both ways.
I think you've confused gloating with jealousy...hint: they don't mean the same thing.
fair enough, it can be somewhat both. I simply think talent is the major factor and displays a teams upside potential.
I think great coaches have great winning teams because they have great players. Any fool could coach Zion Williams.
No I’m not confused at all. You guys are always over here even when Iowa consistently beats ISU in numerous sports. You are jealous of your big brother. That’s understandable. The last thing I would do is hang out on an ISU board and I especially wouldn’t if Iowa lost to ISU ... yet I constantly see you guys over here. ISU and Nebraska fans. It must be a Big 8 thing. Wisconsin owns Iowa’s ass in football and basketball over the last decade yet they are never over here gloating. That’s why even though I hate the Badgers, I can respect them. Can’t say the same for Cyclones and Huskers.
