I mean, we are better than Michigan now, obviously.
Finally got that revenge from the '90 tourney.I mean, we are better than Michigan now, obviously.
Same here. Getting this win is big, but our shooting was pretty bad and our turnovers were a little high.I am thrilled about the final result, without a doubt. With that being said, I hope the team is able to find a basketball hoop at the hotel. Have Coach Judson put on a free throw shooting clinic. Everyone's legs stay fresh and we can improve our scoring by multiple points. Great for team bonding
You're scheduled out for 30 colonoscopies through mid March with Dr Razzy. Dr. Mark C. Razzy.Only started listening in the second half (wife scheduled a colonoscopy for late morning!) . . . we were up big, then started to struggle . . . I quit listening after Jordan's 3 missed FTs . . . so you're welcome!
We were up 10 with around a minute and Pedon was trying to sub in Myles for an defense-offense switch. The refs told him he couldn't do that at the time and I think the team really benefited from that.What a win!! After the Michigan upset by The Beach it was clear we had the toughest first round draw on the bracket.
We knew they would have to mount a run at some point and we held our ground. Honestly after our 9-0 run to open the second half and a 17 point lead even a middling FT shooting team would have it locked up I love, love Foster‘‘a game, but he CANNOT be on the floor at the end of any close game. He must improve FT shooting. Go Birds!!!
I will add ISU has not won this type of game in several years. That feeling is contagious just as it has been the other way for the past 4-5 seasons.
The most recent time I can remember was the upset of Ole Miss after Dan’s rant and challenge tweet to the Power 5 schools.I will add ISU has not won this type of game in several years. That feeling is contagious just as it has been the other way for the past 4-5 seasons.
Yes and that will be key going forward as well. I was more impressed by the defensive effort today.Wasn't it nice to see the Birds get out of the gate fast?
Been awhile since the Birds took a tournament too, yes? Memory fails me, but gotta be some time since.I will add ISU has not won this type of game in several years. That feeling is contagious just as it has been the other way for the past 4-5 seasons.

Agreed , his follow threw isn’t bad eiether, think he needs to get lower and hold the releaseFoster reminds me of Fayne in the sense he came in shooting like 49% FTs. Until he can hit them, he has to sit some key times. However, his net benefit, like Fayne, is worth the risk of a Hack-A-Shaq defense.
No shot. Foster provides way too much. He’s a dog down low and desperately needed the way he fights. We might just have to live with the FTs.Foster reminds me of Fayne in the sense he came in shooting like 49% FTs. Until he can hit them, he has to sit some key times.

These days I leave nothing to chance & .Killing fans is one thing players don’t worry about, players place trust in coaches and not us.
Have we ever won one? In season ones. Outside of the Jankovich Invitationals, I'm not sure we have. I'm old so its probable I've just forgottenBeen awhile since the Birds took a tournament too, yes?
A quick look at the media guide leads me to the 2008-09 SMU Tip Off Classic - wins over Alabama State, Houston Baptist and SMU in Dallals. So that's the last one that wasn't a Jank Invite. 98-99 Hawaii Pacific Shoot-out, wins over UM-Kansas City and Iona. 84-85 AMERICAN SAVINGS CLASSIC (STOCKTON, CALIF.) wins over Texas A&M and San Diego and FLEET CIassic (PROVIDENCE, R.I. wins over Northeastern and Providence.Have we ever won one?
