WBB: General All-NCAA Thread - Not Team Cyclones Stuff

I didn't say anything disrespectful, I just corrected an error. You're right, I don't comment on here often and I guess if you look back on my history of commenting here you wouldn't find anything disrespectful.

The comment I was responding to was "OSU and Iowa State have shown the recipe to beat Iowa. I won’t be surprised to see them go down by the Sweet Sixteen." Which would imply that Iowa State beat Iowa. Kansas State would have been a better example, since they actually beat Iowa. Keeping a game close and eventually losing doesn't give a good game plan on how to beat someone. It give a good game plan on how to keep it close.

I do hop on here occasionally, as I enjoy the comments and I've really enjoy watching the women's team play. It's amazing to watch a young team come into form. They are fearless.

Didn't realize I had to have a specific comment tally to comment.

You may not show up on Hawkeye boards but there are plenty that do. Some respectful and some that aren't. I also go on to Boneyard and other team sites.
There was no error as others pointed out.

WVU's style continues to crush the lower four or five teams in league play. The Big 12 gifted them Cinci and UCF twice. Makes sense for travel and all but still makes for one of the Big 12's easiest schedules IMHO.

Prove it game for both KSU and OU tonight. I think LSU without Lee will probably lose at Norman.

In other action I see the Big Ten farmed out the games for #3 Iowa and #10 Indiana out to Peacock again, cheating their BTN and BTN+ subscribers out of the games unless they sign up for yet another streaming service. Expect Big 12 will start doing the same after MLB starting paving the path for this the last couple of seasons.

The amount of games on Peacock is annoying. I have to watch those games on my computer because Peacock's app sucks for smart TV's. I also don't understand why you would want to push your most watched team to a streaming service.

How has it sucked for you? I've watched Peacock on a few different TVs and haven't had any issues.

That's what happens when you have so many different media partners to placate.

Until Fox comes up with a streaming service, the Big 12 will be limited to ESPN+.

$$$. And the streaming services want to buy the ranked teams so Iowa fans get screwed. I subscribe to Yankee stream from MLB. Pretty much used to got every game except the series versus the Twins (blackout is big issue in the midwest but not so much for me). Now Yankee games get cherry picked and sold separately by MLB to Apple TV+, Amazon Prime and Peacock. You already had games bought by Fox, CBS, ESPN etc but most everyone already has access to those without buying another three subscriptions.

It's glitchy/choppy and I've talked to several others who've had the same issue. I have no problems on my laptop. My TV isn't the issue either.

I'd add in that it was a rivalry game with a big crowd at Hilton in December so it is not exactly a March scenario "recipe" where Iowa will be playing the opening two games in front of their own 15,000 fans.

If there is a recipe it would seem to be "have a really good defensive team" and try to get Iowa into a low scoring half court game. And than hope it's one of those games were Martin, Marshall and others sort of disappear and Clark feels she needs to shoot a thousand times. If I was looking for a game plan I'd look at the two games with KSU this year but only thee elite teams in March have posts as good as Ayoka Lee. But who knows, two years ago Creighton pee'd in both our cereal bowls when it seemed to be set up for one of our teams to be Elite Eight bound.

No reason Hawks can't post in this general WBB threads, it's supposed to be non-Cyclone or general stuff only tangentially related to Cyclone stuff. It's hard to find a board that's open for general WBB talk, Boneyard is a bit but it's still pretty east coast centric. Wish we had @undersized_post post more, he/she is really knowledgeable overall fan. Same for Baylor fan @geewago. We do have a subset of fans here that will attack ANY post by a rival but that's just their opinion. I did not start this general thread as a place to brawl, CF has a forum set aside for that.
I come on many times to see your insight. Which I appreciate!

You are correct, there aren't a lot of sight that are open for general WBB talk. Wish there were more. This is usually the only section of Cyclone Fanatics that I visit.

People having issues with apps seems to be a hit and miss. I've got the MLB app on a Firestick and it can be glitchy as hell and freezes up sometimes. If I go to the game via the MLB web site on my laptop, not via the app, it flawless. Different connects, same wifi signal etc.

One the other hand, other than being slow as a turtle to navigate and find your game, ESPN+ has worked fine for me but we have peeps every week on CF saying they are having issues with the ubiquitous game thread post of "IS anyone else's stream breaking up?".

Well that sucks. We just have Vizio TVs so nothing amazing but haven't had any issues with any of our apps, aside from watching games on Hulu Live sometimes the picture gets pixelated for a few seconds and then goes back to a sharp HD picture.
 
So give me an analysis of what Kansas State did to beat Iowa.
We shot horrible that night but the biggest thing I remember from that game was KSU just outworking and outhustling us all night. Seemed like every contested rebound, every loose ball, etc., KSU was getting after it and getting the ball and we weren't.
