They're the team u wanna watch out for that makes the FF outta no where
I will gladly sign up to part with your money if you wish. Game's already started and ISU already has the lead...I'm spotting you points....what's the bet?
Already looking ahead and forward to the Arizona / OSU matchup.
I think this game is a toss-up. Ohio State has some weaknesses and ISU is exploiting them well. I think this game will come down to second-half coaching more than anything else.
If ISU wins, the best possible seed that could come out of the West is Arizona at the 6-seed. I imagine whomever comes out of the Midwest will be salivating at that prospect in the Final Four.
From down 13, ISU now has a FT to tie the game less than 2:00 later. This is a fun team to watch.
Onions!
Huge three to take the lead for Iowa St. 3 min to go.
This is nuts... Thought I'd be able to get some stuff done before the Miami Illinois game , but this is ruining that plan.
Great game! Much better start to the day than those clunkers yesterday.
Not sure about that charge call........ awfully close....
Yeah, that "hovering foot" is kind of questionable. Craft not shooting very well at the line, he's had chances to ice this and failed consistently.
Nice scheduling by the NCAA. Does every Big Ten team play all its game in-state? Michigan and Michigan State play four games in Michigan, Ohio State two in Dayton. Ridiculous.

In all fairness, they were the top of their seed line on the S-Curve, so they stayed close to home.
DAMN. CRAFT.

I did not think that was going when it left his hands.
No college team has had more heartbreaking losses than the Cyclones this year....I would so hate to be a fan of tbeirs rigbt now

Funny that no charge call against Kansas was about 34 times more a charge than the Charge Call against them
OSU just got lucky, was outplayed, and Thad Matta was out coached

Get a top seed, play close to home. Except now OSU goes to LA where it's advantage Zona, Michigan goes to Texas where Kansas would have the edge, MSU stays close in Indy but it's close for Louisville as well.

Perhaps they can be bigger than GU and UW fans and avoid immature whining about teams that are still around.

There's no question about it... incorrect call by the official. I'm not quite in Sir Charles' camp, but he's making a good point.

Not only that, he came underneath him when it was in the air. A call that referees routinely blow.

Close to home is one thing, playing in your own state is simply the NCAA saying we need ticket money. How many tournament games has Marquette played in its own state since Al came? I believe four. And that's in 48 years.

I don't know, ecompt, most of the regions are sold out even before the seedings come out.
MU hasn't played in the state because only MU has hosted the NCAA tournament since 1985...Madison doesn't have the hotel space and is basically eliminated from ever hosting because of that.

I've always interpreted it as that shot that makes you cry.

Yes, I should have said first two rounds. They hosted a regional. When you host the first two rounds, you are required to have a minimum number of hotel rooms of a certain quality level because of the 8 teams you are hosting, and their fans.
For a regional, it's half that number of teams.

Just make the low seed teams stay in the Dells. Plenty of rooms up there.
Is Jim Nantz Aaron Craft's illegitimate father or something? Why does he always seem to slobber the knob of the "hustle-y white kid" on every team??? Is he getting himself mentally ready for Augusta or something?
Seriously...shut...up....

Is a synonym for balls. "Dudes got balls for that shot." See Bill Raftery highlights.
