Genuinely concerned with this. is there an actual extension that TJ has signed or are we taking his comments during the tourney as he’s going to stay around forever? 4m buyout is so low
Women’s basketball players don’t mass exodus like this. This isn’t NIL related.
Hard not to be pumped for today. Huge opportunity to continue the season of one of Iowa State’s best teams ever and push forward for the first Final Four since the 1940s, but boy I hope Joshua Jefferson is healthy. They can beat Tennessee without him, but you’d definitely rather have a second team all american than not, but Tennessee also does a lot of things poorly that Iowa State wants them to be bad at but they also have the best offensive rebounding stats in the country but the SEC is unwiped ass so that might be a fraudulent stat but rick barnes is a really good coach and tennessee has been here the last four years but they’re still deeply flawed but they do have an elite guard which is what you want in the tournament kind of like uconn had in 2014 with shabazz napier and AH FUCK THIS IS JUST 2014 again isn’t it no we have the best shooter in college basketball and TAMIN FUCKIN LIPSEY and NATE MFING HEISE and BATE BATE BATE we’re gonna be fine our defense is insane and tennessee can’t handle it unless they randomly figure out in which case they’re not a great shooting team but sometime random mediocre shooters go off against us but they also won’t know how to deal with the pressure especially since Tennessee plays so slow and needs to grind out half court possessions which kind of works in our favor but also doesn’t but speeding them up is definitely the ticket since they don’t want to do that but that also means everyone needs to play well and we did go on some really poor shooting stretches this season but that seems to be fixed now but we are in the United Center which hasn’t been kind to us recently but also it’s just another court and Iowa State is dumb good on neutral courts and is still a two seed for a reason but I really hope Joshua Jefferson is healthy because he’s so good and makes a lot of plays on both ends of the floor and we wouldn’t be here without him but we did just smoke Kentucky who swept Tennessee in the regular season so that has to mean something right but can you even imagine losing this game on a heartbreaking last second shot again I would DIE since that seems like what always happens against us but we’ve also completely obliterated some really good teams this season so I guess what I’m really saying is the clones are winning by a million or losing by one on a buzzer beater
