What I love most about this win is that Iowa did things they couldn’t do early in the szn.
Remember how they couldn’t get to the line? They were +16 points at the FT line tonight.
They were also +13 rebounding.
And Kael Combs was a black hole on offense and he goes for 15 pts.
Remember in Ames, Ben McCollum didn't have a timeout left to challenge a crucial out-of-bounds call in the final minute.
Today in the NCAA Tournament, McCollum had one left to challenge an incorrect call ... and got his team the ball back that puts Iowa in the driver's seat.
I’m proud of the movement we’ve built across the state – our team is made up of Iowans of all walks of life and all political parties who believe in a commonsense, conservative vision for our country.
We are just getting started!
@ChrisMWilliams Pleta 💪🏼
He’s ready. Freshmen basically sophomores now.
Lipsey… 4 fouls shows it’s Tournament officiating, not bad officiating… just called tighter. Need to adjust.
@ChrisMWilliams Pleta !
Buchanan !
Opportunities - both battle tested in practice against Jefferson. Will Iowa State use this as an excuse…

On J-Jeff going down...
Heise: "The way that we all stepped up, that's what he would have wanted."
Toure: "We are brothers. We played for him. Everybody knows what they have to do in the game."
It's notable that Tamin Lipsey only played nine minutes in the first half. After watching J-Jeff go down, Iowa State is clearly keeping minutes to a minimum with key players the rest of the way.
