If we would have lost, do you realize how much all of Cyclone Nation would have hated you?

A WEDNESDAY NIGHT ROAD WIN!!!!

Simply unheard of before tonight.

 

[Dryburn]

Big win! Hopefully this will give them some extra confidence for the remaining road games which are winnable if they play their game.

Biggest difference tonight was they did a better, although not great, job of rebounding, they shot well, and whenever BU went on a run, ISU was able to respond.

Also, Babb and Will both were not having good shooting nights, but they didn't go crazy and just keep shooting. They helped out in other ways instead.

Great chance to win out now, win the big 12 tourney, and have a huge head of steam rolling into the NCAA's.

 

[ISUChippewa]

Huge win. Man, that feels nice. I was prepared for another kick in the sack type of loss when they came back on us a bit after we went up by 11 there, but we hit big, timely shots and got it done. Great feeling, great win...

 

[ISpyCy]

Finally, a quality road win! Just imagine if Clyburn were on his game tonight...

 

[MIClone]

Guys, it seems like some random guy always gets hot against us. That wasn't the case tonight. In addition, while Jackson had a great game (again), his free throw shooting was WAAAAYYYYY off. We have to acknowledge that tonight we benefited from an unusual night have bad free throw shooting on his part.

 

[cycloneworld]

Crazy to think we could be a game ahead of everyone in first place...

Oh well, great to finally close one of these out against a solid team.

A WEDNESDAY NIGHT ROAD WIN!!!!

So this is what your nuts should feel like after a road game.

 

[MIClone]

Eric and John are giving player of the game to Tyrus. Tyrus was awesome tonight, but if I had to pick, I couldn't pick against Ejim's game.

 

[mjhavlo76]

We are still not a lock for the NCAA Tournament. But definately enhanced our chances!!! Huge win!

Ice pack sales will not set records tonight.

Let's just make the NCAA tournament and not worry about reflecting back.

And your point is...?

Look, you're right about Jackson having an off-night from the free-throw line, but for crying out loud, can we just please enjoy a big road win without having to play this silly game of "but Player X had a bad game, and if he didn't play bad..." for once? Especially with a big, timely win like this?

We are still in according to Joe Lanardi. Just win the games we are suppose to now and we will be fine.

 

[GMackey32]

My wife and I didn't watch, listen, or follow the game tonight because whenever we do for road games, we lose. You guys are welcome.

 

[imnclone]

Good win definitely. Really good offense and some really weak defense on both sides. Nice to see the other team choking on clutch free throws too. It looks great in the record book and this should put the Cyclones in the tourney.

 

[Bret44]

Why does ESPN say SWD played? I didn't watch or listen had to follow on Gamecast. I am going to assume that was Long?

 

[Koolman]

Great Win! Looking forward to the next two at home.

 

[ISUCubswin]

I don't think either played. Not sure why Gamecast says that.
