[samspann1]

Some of these games today have resembled pick-up games, involving 10 guys who've never played before.

Iowa State 54-49 Wisconsin (Mar 20, 2022) Box Score - ESPN

Box score for the Iowa State Cyclones vs. Wisconsin Badgers NCAAM game from March 20, 2022 on ESPN. Includes all points, rebounds and steals stats.

Robert Jones transferred from Denver.
Aljaz Kunc transferred from Washington State.
Tyrese Hunter was a top 50 recruit.
Gabe Katscheur transferred from Minnesota
Izalah Brockington transferred from Penn State
George Condit IV was an Iowa State reserve last year.
Tre Jackson started seven games last year.
Caleb Grill transferred from Iowa State, then transferred back when his coach there became the Iowa State coach.
Tristan Enaruma transferred from Kansas.

That's 6 of the 9 players they used today who scored 46 of their 54 points, grabbed 27 of their 39 rebounds, passed for 4 of their 12 assists, made 6 of their 9 steals and all three blocks.

So, if we ever go 2-22 again, (as we did in 1961-62), we know what to do.

ND leading with under four minutes left.

 

[goofnoff]

One year he got praised for doing a great job with limited material. He had 8 McDonald's All-Americans.

In one of Vitales rare criticisms of Duke he famously said, "Quit crying! You've got five McDonalds' AAs on the floor."

 

[goofnoff]

I've never liked the Irish for 60 years. I'm rooting for them here. They just missed the front end of 1and1.

 

[Eric15]

But guy has been to 1 FF in like 12 years

Izzo has been to four Final Fours since 2009.

 

[Bulldog04]

Texas Tech has been watching SU’s “offense” too much. Good lord are they terrible on the offensive end tonight

 

[rrlbees]

Izzo has been to four Final Fours since 2009.

12 years goes back to 2010. So he went to 3 of them in 2009.

 

[kirbivore]

Come on Red Raiders. The Irish will have no shot vs. Duke in the next round. At least Texas Tech can realistically beat Duke.

ND locking them up! Well coached man to man defense against poorly coached offense.

 

[Lord Ashby]

Avery Johnson's voice sounds a lot like Mike Breen's in that State Farm commercial.

 

[Eric15]

12 years goes back to 2010. So he went to 3 of them in 2009.

Just responding to the idea that Izzo doesn't deliver in March which is insane.

 

[Bulldog04]

No doubt and honestly say what you want about Brey, but even after mistakes he is always encouraging his guys. Always and they want to play hard for him you can see it

 

[samspann1]

This Wesley guy is a hot mess.

 

[longislandcuse]

ND’s obsession with forcing the ball to Wesley is about to end their season.

 

[orange7]

I don’t think Texas tech has enough to beat Duke…it’s going to have to be the Zags in the elite 8 if anybody.

 

[Ghost]

This Wesley guy is a hot mess.

Could he botch yet another possession down the stretch? What's he at now, 4 straight?????

Jesus.

 

[orange79]

Just responding to the idea that Izzo doesn't deliver in March which is insane.

 

[Ghost]

Was that not a foul on the long rebound? Tech sort of obliterated that one dude that got it.

Also, on that shot...wow.

 

[orange7]

The officiating is poor. Really poor. It’s sad to see. So many botched calls.

This might be the worst reffing we have seen all year. Unc was a joke. There was 5 other calls in another game yesterday that were insane. Zebras belong at the zoo

 

[jncuse]

I would have cheered for Notre Dame in this one, but I have Texas Tech at 22-1 to win the Title so I was cheering for them. I did have ND at +8.5, so a win both ways.

That being said I wronged Syracuse by gambling and cheering on a non ACC school to win the title. For that I feel shame.

 

[Ghost]

It's crazy how bad it is sometimes.

They triple fouled that one dude.

 

[Cheriehoop]

What the heck was ND doing the last 2 minutes and letting Wesley be a one man team? Either Brey is nuts or Wesley just tried the hero act horribly.

I must say, if Wesley was on Syracuse I'm not sure I could forgive him for that nonsense.
