More Exciting Team This Season Than Iowa State?

[El Nino]

I'll listen to nominations, but this team has been ridiculous to watch! The Mayor, Big Daddy Kane, Win one for Georges. The Louisville of 2014? Who wants to play us? Could use an MSU upset but few can out shoot ISU. This game, The Big12 Tourney Championship, both Oklahoma State games have taken years off my ticker.

very exciting team to watch

I enjoy watching Virginia grind teams to death. They contest every shot, dont give up anything easy. They play like the Heat/Knicks of the 90s did. They are doing it with mostly non highly recruited kids too.

True, it is refreshing to see hard nose, fundamental bball. I have to be in the right mindset to watch that. With ISU, you know they will fill it up and you're going to see back and forth action.

Oregon is one power player away from being LJ's Running Rebels

[Justin3587]

Wisconsin man. Nothing like watching a bunch of whiteys hold court.

[jjgold]

There are so many good teams left

The next round will be amazing

A more exciting team...no. ISU is fun to watch. Very athletic group, moves the ball well and transitions well. It will be something to see when they play UConn.

30-47 FGM, 3PM 11-18. That game was fun to watch, whatever went down you knew it was going in lol

Totally agree. All around great team.

Yeah, I was looking at the matchups and all of them are tough even just picking winners:

Florida
UCLA

Dayton
Stanford

Virginia
Michigan State

Iowa State
UConn

Arizona
San Diego State

Baylor
Wisconsin

Kentucky
Louisville

Tennessee
Michigan

I usually play moneylines, but there isnt one obvious "this team will definitely win" type of game. I may take a strategy of teasing the underdogs by 5-7 points. Dont see many blowouts in the round of 16. See lots of close games that either team could win.

[WeinketoWarrick]

Most exciting team to watch for sure. Love Hoiberg.

[TonyTall]

kane made himself a few million today

[paco]

Nik Stauskas and the Wolverines

[Cuse0323]

Please beat UCon

[Eddy Munny]

You obviously haven't seen Bradley University play. Patrick O'Bryant is the real deal.

[KRIT]

Last years Iowa St team was even more exciting. You thought this team could shoot. Oh boy, those boys form last year could light it up.

yes i agree 100% last year they were incredible, just had the tough OT loss vs Ohio state (i think it was OT) in the round of 32 otherwise they would have made a deep run,

they could really light it up from anywhere on the floor

Was a 3 pointer at the buzzer from that little prick fukk, Kraft. Pretty sure it was at the end of regulation. ISU still covered.

I've never seen a team get screwed so bad by the refs in two big games. They got screwed on their home court against Kansas. Kansas guy clearly ran over an ISU guy and they called it a blocking foul rather than a charge. I think the next day the league admitted that the refs made the wrong call.

And then such a BS call in the NCAA tourney last year where they said Craft took the charge when he was clearly moving and had his foot over the semi-circle under the hoop.

[KRIT]

Will Clyburn
Tyrus McGee
Korie Lucious

And they still had Niang and Ejim on top of that. If it weren't for Clyburn getting injured in NCAA tourney and refs screwing them, they would have made an elite 8/final 4 run.

Cyclones of last year > Cylcones of this year

On a related note, I saw Gun N' Roses at the Hilton Coliseum a few years back.

Great win

Good plan here I think...Tease those dogs ....or even tease some favorites too...

[z-doggie]

How about Michigan and Wisconsin...will more than likely win?

and Lou-ville will probably take it vs. Kentucky.

And The Mayor just locked up Coach of the Year.

Yep, both were humongous screw jobs.

Cyclones of last year > Cylcones of this year

They are pretty even statistically speaking.

2012-13 Cyclones: Record 23-12 5th in the Big 12. Won one NCAA tourney game. Average pts./game: 79.4, Average pts. allowed/game: 71.0, FG % .456, 3PT FG % .374, FT % .731, Assists 560, Offensive Rebounds 422, Defensive Rebounds 919, Turnovers 460

2013-14 Cyclones: Record 28-7 3rd in the Big 12, Won their 2nd ever Big 12 Tourney, Sweet Sixteen and still playing. Average pts./game: 83.2, Average pts. allowed/game: 74.2, FG % .475, 3PT FG % .358, FT % .698, Assists 649 (1st in the Country), Offensive Rebounds 358, Defensive Rebounds 993 (1st in the Country), Turnovers 371.

Last year's team shot a little worse overall, but shot the 3 and their Free Throws a little better. Last year's team scored a little less, but defended better. This year's team moves the ball better and was better on the defensive glass. This year's team will be regarded as better just because of what they accomplished. But, last year's team could shoot the lights out as well. The Mayor obviously benefited from having Niang, Ejim, and Long back.
