Coming here after Iowa State just survived at Texas Tech and will likely be #2 in the nation after the AP Poll comes out this coming Monday. So proud to be a Cyclone right now.
Iowa state is a VERY underrated team
Enough with the ridiculous "underrated" and "overrated" comments. Its always someone who doesnt know much about the game who says it.
@@avidadolaresthis team could go all the way very talented and disciplined team 💯
The guard play is elite.
@@avidadolares every person I’ve seen online has said they are on upset watch which is a terrible take
@@jeromedanielson4422elite guard play. Deep front court. Tough defense. Sounds like a recipe for a final four run
What a performance for Iowa State! Crushing a dominant houston team
Eh. They're good, but not dominant.
Have you looked at the point differential on Houston's wins throughout the year? I would say its pretty dominant@@thundergato84
A dominant defensive team offsets their just-above-average offense.
We are missing 4 key players
@@viccolombiaI don't want to hear any disclaimers. Take the loss.
Listening to that crowd, you would have thought it was at Hilton Coliseum
hilton south baby!
Hilton south
If any KU fans were there, they were likely cheering for ISU! Great game!!!
Congrats Iowa State, from a K state fan
What a shocker unbelievable performance from Iowa state.
Definitely weren’t the favorites but Iowa State has a very solid basketball program always in the tournament they will be a very tough out this year
This was a really good game for everyone on the Cyclones team, but I think I’m happiest for Momcilivic. This game was a huge confidence booster for him and I think he will carry that confidence with him moving forward.
After that jam by Ward at 6:08 could hear "Stop, it's already dead" on loop in my head.
Cmon ESPN, we still doing double clips at 3:18 😂 Jokes aside awesome showing for the Clones
Way to go Cyclones! Undefeated in Big 12 Championship games!🎉🎉🎉
Held Houston to 41 points? That’s pretty good defense.
Way to go iowa state 🎉
It seems to me like teams in the Big 12 just get tired eventually after the constant competition and pressure of this league. Pretty much every game in this tournament was a blow out. And going up against such good competition every game wears down on you. I hope all the teams in this conference can get some good rest in before the big tournament next week!
just a nap
You bring up the Big 12 specifically. Are you saying the Big 10, Pac 12 , ACC, SEC etc don't have constant competition and pressure? Of course they ALL get tired from the competition of their league. That's the beauty of March Madness............
Watch out for Houston in the Big Dance. A lot of times, a wake-up call like this sends the loser on a major run. Time will tell.
Im here cuz I didnt know ISU beat Houston by 30!! I need 2 redo my bracket
This March Madness is gonna be wild, Iowa State upsetting Houston, Purdue falling to Wisconsin, and 10th ranked ACC NC State beats UNC… gonna be a lot of heartbroken brackets this year 😂🏀
With the concentration on the three point shot, luck is a premium. This is the new ncaa. Going to be wild every year. Efficiency is great for a long term view, but you have to win EVERY game. Going to take a lot of luck
That wasn’t an upset
How is it an upset if it’s a home crowd for Iowa state
It’s still a neutral site, and that was a curb stomp. Even if the crowd was 100% clone fans that’s still a statement win going into the tournament
@@blakemichaelsen4847 Are you acoustic? I’m not even a Houston fan and I can tell you that a 3 hour drive vs 11hr drive is leaning towards a home game for iowa
Happy to see this! Go clones! Lets go win it all!
Why am I SOOOO tempted to put this as a rematch in the National Championship...
Iowa State cyclones had great gameplan
A curb stomping. Welcome to the BIG 12, Houston!
3:32 best shot of the night, had em on skates.
The shot that lit the fuse!
Absolute perfection. Couldn't have been happier.
These two teams have a lot of similarities and when you’re playing either of them you have to just be great on offense to find a good shot.
LETSS GOO CLONES BIG 12 CHAMPS BABY!!! GONNA RUN DOWN EVERYONE IN MARCH MADNESS
Hey what about them Lobos!!!!! We won our Mountain West Championship Game!!!!!! Good win Cyclones! Let's Go Lobos!!!!!!
Houston got mauled by a superior team.
Nick janowski proud of his boy right now
Iowa State has 3 awesome guards that are really hot 🔥 right now...dare I say Final four
LETSSSSS GOOOOOO!!!!!! I told y’all Iowa State will be the big 12 champs!!!!!!!!
That is why we call it Hilton south!!!
Wow! Awesome game!
I hope ISU stays a 2 seed. Playing in Omaha where fans can easily travel is far more important than being a 1 seed.
Fr I feel like it’ll be Hilton West
University of Houston Cougars never showed up to play the Iowa State Cycones. Can't go to sleep during the tournament. 😮
down 4 key players to injuries. team is tired
Advantage this year: Finals on Saturday! Thank you BYU! We have a chance!
?
@@DubCmusicTV BYU doesn't play on Sundays. This means the Big 12 tournament will not occur on Sundays going forward. The committee has an extra day to consider this win for a potential number one seed because BYU won't play on Sundays. One of the reasons Iowa State did not get a one seat in the past was because of the Sunday championship game.
@@tesmlionHasn’t the Big 12 championship been on Saturday for a while?
@@mgoblue8709 not when they were overlooked the last time, but that is part of why they left Sunday. With BYU in the league they will not go back. The women got a rest day!
Iowa State wins! Bid number 1 seed!
ROFL. That number one seed goes to the deserving elite program of North Carolina. North Carolina NCAA record for Final Fours at 21!
@@JTH-hm8ewdidn’t they lose to the number 10 seed NC state? Jw
Losses tend to happen even to elite programs.
What make you guys so deserving of a number 1 seed and not us, we had the same record and u lost in your championship game while we won so tbh it really could have gone to either of us
@@CycloneState1I do watch it only for little bit!
A big Cyclone destroyed the Cougars. They can play.
Calling it early, Milan Momcilovic will be BIG 12 Player of the year 2025.
Since my Arizona Wildcats suck this year and are well overrated I’m cheering for 2 back up teams Kentucky and Iowa State keep it going and beat Tennessee please
this feels very similar to last years big 12 tournament finals
Houston will bounce back! ..being basically a road game for the Coogs and being a banged up at this late in the season.. tough loss but theyll bounce back!
UCONN looks the strongest as of right now!
They almost lost to st johns though
@@j.johnson2792so almost don't count now does it? Dah
holy smoke.....
This has been my ONE concern with Houston. Scoring can be tough to come by.
Welcome to the Big12 Houston. Everyone didn't take you seriously enough during the regular season and they deserved to get beat. But Iowa State took notice and came to remind you that you're in the Big12 now. Next season won't be as easy for you. The other teams will be ready.
For sure
Lol. Houston is 30-4 they will be better next year. They beat Iowa state already. And no not my team. (Marquette) is.
Let's see ucf,Houston, byu,and Cincinnati beat Kansas 👍
@@Artic-wolf77ngl Kansas kinda fell off a this year
Cougars got tired of winning. Because you won one game against a team with half rookies that are not even supposed there until next year.
You should have won by 37 not 27!!
Cougars got on top of the so called Big 12 with the Bench practically ans you called this one game success.
some games you just go ice. better to do it now than in the dance
houston needed this- they'll be ready in the tourney
Same thing happened to UNC.
go cyclones
Iowa state might have a case for a one seed after Arizona unc and Tennessee all lost
ROFL. The number one seed goes to the deserving Elite North Carolina!
@@JTH-hm8ewthey aren’t not elite after losing to a 10 seed
hard to gauge Houston now going into picks for March Madness. plays dominant last 10 games and then thumped by the Cyclones
They’re not 2021 Baylor. They’ll lose in the 2nd weekend.
A lot of injuries hurt them.
Fatigue and playing at Hilton 2.0 were both major factors in how one-sided it was. But other than UConn, everyone is vulnerable this year.
They played an 8 man rotation the first 2 games...and pretty much a 7 man rotation today. Players get gassed, it happens. Good thing is you have more time in between games in The Dance
Not really hard to gauge them I’d still easily pick them over everyone except UNC/UConn, This loss helps Houston wake up.
Wtg ISU Cyclones
Proud 'clone here😁
41 points. Wow the Iowa girls score more than that in a half. Great d and too many turnovers for Houston.
Iowa women don’t play against the isu men’s defense😂😂
So good to see this. Tired of hearing about Houston already. Rock Chalk
360p is willd!
lol i thought it was just me
Dayum what happened to the coogs?
they played a 7 man rotation.....3 days of games in a row will wear anyone down
@cameronmiller2523 a lot of teams have to do that in a tournament. NC state just won on 5 days in a row
I kno Iowa state is really good but that was a bad score it's like the coogs took the night off
Talking bout a Mug Hole 😂
Last time we should have been a one seed we lost to a 15
And they said houston> purdue uconn 😂
UConn's the best team in the country and overall #1 seed for March Madness!
They beat up on Marquette a few times anyway
100%
Eh. It's the Big East.
Cyclones or gtfo
I know ISU looked good today, but be careful how far you take them in your bracket. This team lost to K-State just 7 days ago and tends to play down to their opponents in the NCAA tournament
Then beat k state by 20 2 days ago... playing their best ball at the right time
In the end it didn’t matter if we won that game, but offensively we were performing terribly leading up to the game and loss by 6 on the road. If we shoot like we did tonight from 3 we’re an elite 8 maybe final 4 team.
If you believe they will keep shooting the 3 this efficiently then sure. Hopefully I’m wrong, but I don’t think it’s sustainable
@@calebpurcell3658 It's not just the shooting. Their ball movement on offense has noticeably improved, giving them easy layups, which then opens things up outside the 3 point line. Also, if they play in nearby Omaha, watch out! But the fans will probably travel well, no matter where they play.
They lost to KSU in a meaningless game
Completely unexpected. K-state should get in. They played ISU the best.
I told people about Houston, they focus so much on defense that they go cold on offense. They don’t play loose they play too tight so to speak, UConn, Florida, Auburn, UNC would run them outta the building
Idk about Florida. UConn and UNC probably
@@ryanamburgy2791Florida is legit, people needs to watch them more. id say elite 8
I'm a Cougar fan and I been saying that. Their lack of offensive passion and ability will catch up to them. They're not winning a Championship with this formula.
@@ryanamburgy2791Auburn is smoking Houston too
@@Noliestold-np6qi yea bro it’s tough to watch. They put out so much energy not wanting to let a mfer even get a dribble off that I think it wears themselves down lol
Hooooo-weeeee!
Houston injuries is whats gonna cause them to be a 2nd round exitb in march madness watch
Not horrible, but Draftmatics is 10 times better!!
打敗了第一名~
Houston looked horrible.
What an @$$ whopping Houston took.
Goodness they got smoked
Houston not coached very well. They will get bounced right away in March Madnesss, most likely the first round.
1 seed or gtfo
Every ranked team from 11th place on up got beat in their tourney this weekend except ISU and UConn. Cyclones should have a #1 seed. Beat Houston 2 out of 3 games this year. They should be a 1 before Houston and especially UNC.
Whoever edited this video needs a new job
Houston couldn't shoot the ball when Marcus Sasser played there. The Cougars added LJ Cryer from Baylor, but only two players on the team can shoot the ball. It's time for ESPN, CBS, and everybody to stop praising this team for its defense. This isn't college football. If you can't shoot, you don't belong. Houston's style of gangsta ball is not the way to win. Fundamental basketball wins championships. Think Chris Mooney at Richmond with the Princeton offense and Porter Moser when he was at Loyola.
Thank you. Houston just mauls people with no fundamentals. They won't make it to the Final Four.
Houston is garbage. Shouldn't even be ranked. 41. Thanks
Iowa Houston is trash
Iowa Houston?
🤷@@xomthood
Blud doesn’t even know what he talking about 😂
Hilton south
