@MurphyKeith But he doesn’t want to make it about him it’s about the players. Maybe that’s his intention and he’s just really bad at it.

This time, Geno Auriemma mentions Dawn Staley by name four times.

@Murph_Andy @wcipoolsandspas 19 tournaments in the last 20 years. Iowa State is not a blue blood. Fans act like he hasn’t won at least 15 games in a long time.

31 years of winning, has Bill Fennelly earned the right to go out on his own terms? VOTE in the @wcipoolsandspas Quickie Poll:

@Johnny171414 @Murph_Andy @wcipoolsandspas You’re going to be really pissed when you learned how state jobs work.

@Murph_Andy @wcipoolsandspas If I stay at my job for 20+ years but I am no longer able to get the job done at a high level, I should be removed.

@MNelson_ISU You wait for the bad season and hope he retires. This program has a lot of support, but can always get a lot worse. Getting to the tournament every year isn’t a death sentence.

Firing BF means: Firing ISU and Big 12’s all time wins leader Canning guy who’s made 19 of the last 20 tournaments Blaming injuries on him Saying the transfers are all his fault He has plenty of fault (coaching, retention) but man, that’s asking a lot to just fire him

@Matt_Fortuna Hubert reached a title game and took over a worse program. Not a garbage problem, but Duke was left on easy mode and there was work to be done at UNC.

My hot take that’s not really a hot take: Jon Scheyer has underachieved more at Duke than Hubert Davis did at North Carolina.

@AndrewCDowns Iowa fans can never enjoy anything without going after Iowa State. You’re in the elite 8, smile and enjoy it.

Ben McCollum made an Elite 8 before TJ Otzelberger and has more NCAA Tournament wins at Iowa than Nebraska has in the history of their program.

@CycloneLarry69 There’s a private flight leaving Houston for Chapel Hill on Sunday morning.

@MurphyKeith This is perfect. Iowa State had been receiving way too much love nationally. We are so much better when we are criminally underrated.

🤔

@owengreeno @MurphyKeith Iowa isn’t a blue blood. They were a 2 seed this year. If anything she’ll get an extension.

@MurphyKeith The grace meter has now officially timed out for Jan. There is a lot to be accounted for. It’s put up or shut time next year.

Big upset in Iowa City. 10 seed Virginia takes down 2 seed Iowa in double overtime, 83-75. Kymora Johnson scored 28 for Virginia, Ava Heiden had 26 points for the Hawkeyes, Hannah Stuelke 19 rebounds. Cavaliers first Sweet 16 since 2000. Iowa's season comes to an end at 27-7. @johnsears will have more from Carver-Hawkeye Arena. Photo: AP

@IowaDarthVader @CycloneLarry69 You’re still here? Your team just got to a Sweet 16 which is still a big deal for you guys. Go out and celebrate. When you got married did you talk trash to your exes or actually attend the wedding?

@IowaSportsBall @CycloneLarry69 Larry talks about Iowa more than he does his favorite team. 😂 Which could be Nebraska or Iowa State. We’ll never know.

I didn’t even get up off my couch when Iowa State beat a blue blood today. Just another expected win for the Cyclones. There are levels to this and our programs are clearly not on the same one.

@IowaDarthVader @CycloneLarry69 We just celebrate our success without living in rivals social media feeds. You don’t see me commenting on Iowa posts.

@IowaSportsBall @CycloneLarry69 Congrats. Still, amounted to nothing. The way you guys talk about them, you’d make it seem like you have 5 National Championships.

@DrkMvrkIX @TomFornelli I get that and I get UNC wanting more, I just don’t know who they think they are getting. You lost your best player for the season. If he’s healthy you’re a higher seed and most likely in at least the round of 32. This feels like an overreaction fire.

@IowaSportsBall @TomFornelli As a Tar Heels fan, I can't even tell you what Hubert Davis' philosophy is, so I highly doubt a ISU fan knows what it is. Not a shot at you, but definitely a shot at Davis.

Iowa State fans stop reading this tweet. ... .... ....... .. .... North Carolina should throw a Brinks truck full of cash at TJ Otzelberger.

@IowaDarthVader @CycloneLarry69 Two elite 8s. 4 different coaches took them to Sweet 16s. Like 5 conference tournament titles.

@CycloneLarry69 And you guys haven’t done anything the last 25 years with all those second weekend appearances lmao. You sound like an idiot.

@CycloneLarry69 Iowa basically a mid major.

This app is great because people you don’t know just get mad at you for being happy.

@SoundOFF13 Love star players. How fun was it watching Rod Martin and Darius Acuff? Bracket chaos is the best choice here because too many upsets leads to blowouts later on.

Time for a game of Knockout. March Madness. One must go. Which do you knock out? (Enjoy least.)

@SoundOFF13 Respect them as a fan base who brings it more than any other fan base for big games, but they’re obnoxious and soulless and them getting to the Final Four would be bad for everyone.

SoundOff Survey: do you find yourself rooting for Nebraska men’s basketball?

@kwill44 @awfulannouncing See a therapist, seriously. To be that mad over someone’s pretty reasonable take is troubling.

@awfulannouncing NO SHIT Brilliant fucking analysis😉 ChatGPT musta been cranking all night to come up with that one

Bill Simmons says NBA expansion ‘is going to make the league worse’ awfulannouncing.com/ringer/bill-si…

He’s right. League should go down to 24 teams. Have 16 G League teams and have a promotion/relegation format. In-season tournament wins could be for immunity. NFL is the only league that can support 30+ teams. The others need less games and less teams.
