Go Iowa St.!!

I wonder if someone sat in his head, motivating him to six points.

Anybody see #4 for the Irish refuse to shake the Istate player's hand at the end?  What grade A douchery.

Iowa St. Is awfully impressive...IMO they're better than us

Yep, and they took Kansas to OT at least once this year (I believe twice, I'll have to check that).  They are legit, just some tough close losses that could've made a difference in seeding.

What a fun last 31 hours it's been, starting with the final 1:40 of the Marquette Miracle, on through to Bucky's exit, all the incredible upsets and now Notre Dame humiliating themselves.

I love the first two days of the NCAA tournament, and I loved them this year even more!!!!!

One thing I couldn't help noticing while watching this game was how rarely Connaughton even touched the ball.

Sure enough, I just looked at the box score and he took only 2 shots, both treys, while making one.

If a team wants to eliminate a 3-point shooter, no matter how well that player shoots, even if that player is as dead-eye as Steve Novak, a team can do it. Just don't leave him open. It's not as if he's going to blaze past a defender for a dunk.

I'm still trying to figure out how we let him burn us each of the last two years. And by let him, I mean let him. There was just no reason for it.

But hey, in the end, it's all good. He gets to watch us play tomorrow night ... and hopefully next week, too.

Good. Just goes to show that when you wear ugly-ass uniforms, you lose. ND and Cincy proved my point.

Cooley must not dislike ISU enough. Otherwise, he would have carried them to victory.

Kinda brings a tear to ny eye.

Eff ND.  Adios nose pickers.

I can't take credit for this line from the Chicago Tribune. 

"After some initial fits, Iowa State (23-11) bothered Notre Dame all night long, in the way one would be bothered by repeated bludgeoning with an aluminum bat."
