Should have been the rest of the season. It was a malicious play.

@JPerrotto As someone who was also in the building today, I didn't see Kipp Kissinger or his partners making 3s or forcing any of Kentucky's 20 turnovers.

This one enters the history books at 3:55 p.m. as an 82-63 Iowa State win, sending it to the Midwest Region semis on Friday night to play either Tennessee or Virginia.
Either one better get ready for some ferocious defense from the Cyclones.
English
74-55 Iowa State, 3:49 remaining. Cyclones are heading to the Midwest Region semifinals, barring the comeback of the year by Kentucky.
English
The UK pep band playing the theme from Jaws during the just-concluded TV timeout is definitely a choice.
English
The exit polls are looking pretty reliable at this point as Iowa State owns a 63-45 lead on Kentucky with 7:42 remaining. Turnovers have done the Wildcats in as they simply can't maintain their poise against the Cyclones' feral defense.
English
Kentucky has to take another timeout after Iowa State extends the lead to 56-41 with 10:21 remaining.
The only stat you need to know: Cyclones have made more shots this half (10) than the Wildcats have attempted (9).
English
The Iowa State radio crew in front of me pumps their fists as Nate Heise steals, scores and gets fouled for a 52-40 lead over Kentucky at the under-12 @wqrl timeout.
This one is reaching the point of no return in a hurry for the Wildcats.
English
Kentucky coach Mark Pope takes the @D1scourse timeout with 12:48 left and his team trailing Iowa State 48-40. Turnovers continue to plague the Wildcats as they have 15. It's pretty difficult to win a high-level game with turnovers on a third of your possessions.
English
@sticky33sly The standard for what is and isn't a foul seems pretty malleable from possession to possession.
English
@writingump Also interesting that the foul was also called on the wrong player.
The officiating has been quite weird.
English
Monitor time, brought to you by @BucketHat1, to see if Iowa State gets an and-one via goaltending. It was called as such on the floor.
To me, this can go either way.
English
41-36 Iowa State at the under-16 @_LukePMartin timeout of the second half. The Cyclones might be spending a lot of time at the line in the next 15:57. Kentucky has already committed 5 fouls, 3 on the same possession.
English
Kentucky guard Collin Chandler has been whistled for 3 fouls -- all of them legit calls -- and has griped about every one. He might be the captain of the "I've never fouled" squad.
English
Kentucky guard Otega Oweh, the team's leading scorer, draws his 3rd foul with 17:53 left and has to come out. Can the Wildcats hold the fort with him on the pine?
English
Nate Heise, who knows a thing or two about playing in this building from his days at UNI, gives Iowa State a 31-30 halftime lead over Kentucky with a corner 3 with 1.3 seconds left.
Wildcats with 12 turnovers, leading to 12 points.
English
28-23 Kentucky at the under-4 TV break. Let's not overanalyze this one. Basketball is a make-or-miss game and the Wildcats are making (11-23 FG, 6-15 3s) while Iowa State is missing (7-28 FG, 1-14 3s), often in ugly fashion.
English
It only took Iowa State 12 tries to make a 3. I realize the 3 is a big part of almost everyone's offense (except the SIU games I work during the season) but if you had success driving the ball, why would you go back to jacking 3s that aren't dropping?
English
Denzel Aberdeen just took Kentucky's first foul shot of the day. Iowa State has attempted 11.
The Cyclones are driving the ball, except for whatever that last shot was, and the Wildcats are cranking up jumpers. The discrepancy should be that one-sided.
