I guess Iowa's collapse will start in March this year...

Fantastic win!!!

It certainly was. Probably cinched a playoff spot barring a complete meltdown at this point. Congrats to the Hawks. I’m disappointed that, at least for the time being, I can no longer ask if ISU is Iowa’s best win.

But it’s kind of sad you felt you had to come immediately to an Iowa state board to celebrate.

It's definitely a good win for Iowa, but I was not impressed with Michigan at all.

Let's see how Michigan does the rest of the year though.

I can agree with all of this. That didn't look like a 20-1 team. Beilein gets a pass from me, though. Have to go all the way back to last season when they were in the title game.

Big time win. Win out at home (Maryland, NW, Rutgers, Indiana), win a couple on the road, and a first round game in Des Moines is in play. Would be pretty incredible if both Iowa and Iowa State got to play in Des Moines first couple rounds- how expensive would those tickets be on the secondary market?

Iowa played well and got the signature victory that they needed, good for them. That's basketball, its hard to win on the road. Iowa played tonight like they did against us in December. They got 24 points off the bench, out rebounded Michigan by 10. I was really surprised that they did not double down on the post, but they did not do it all night, and Iowa kept feeding it into the big guys. They hit enough 3's to keep Michigan half way honest on defense. In the end, they got only 12 points from their backcourt, that will come back to haunt them later in the season.
 
Iowa doing well only helps ISU at this point I suppose. Perhaps the only joy I get out of any Iowa win.

Yeah, as much of a joy as I get out of watching Iowa lose, as long as we can keep doing what we’re doing, Iowa winning is only a positive for ISU. And it’s not like we really battle for the same recruits, so we don’t have to worry about them winning hurting us there.

Currently my section and row that I paid $300 for could be bought on Stubhub for about $545.

Quite a few ISU fans have already bought them.
