YEAH, JAMES, IT WAS A REALLY TOUGH ONE. YOU KNOW, WHEN YOU CAN OPEN A JAR OF PICKLES AND, YOU KNOW, YOU’RE TRYING TO SCREW IT OFF AND STUFF, THAT’S KIND OF WHAT THE BASKET WAS LIKE FOR THE CYCLONES TONIGHT. IT WAS A REALLY TOUGH LOSS. THEY ENDED UP LOSING 59 TO 41. THEY SHOT 23% FROM THE FIELD. ONE OF THE WORST IN NCAA TOURNAMENT HISTORY. AND THE WORST IN IOWA STATE HISTORY. THEY COULDN’T GET IT GOING FROM THE JUMP. IT. WAS 22 TO 210 MINUTES INTO THE FIRST HALF. NEVER GOT THAT MOMENTUM GOING. COULD NEVER CATCH BACK UP TO WHERE THEY STARTED IT. PITTSBURGH CAPITALIZE, RAINED ON THEIR PARADE GOING ON RUNS LEFT AND RIGHT. IOWA STATE COULD NOT GET IT DONE. IT WAS A GAME THAT JUST REALLY WAS FRUSTRATING FOR ALL OF THE PLAYERS AND YOU COULD SEE IT IN THEY WERE DOWN AND COULDN’T GET BACK INTO IT. THEY SHOT TWO OF 21 FROM THREE IN, SCORED JUST TWO POINTS IN THE SECOND HALF, GOING INTO IT WITH 8 MINUTES, GOING INTO THE SECOND HALF AND THEN THEY JUST COULDN’T SHOOT WELL FROM THE LINE EITHER. HAD A HORRIBLE FREE THROW PERCENTAGE AND THAT’S WHERE THAT’S WHERE PITT KNOCKED DOWN THE FREE THROWS AND REALLY TOOK THE REINS THERE IN THE GAME. IOWA STATE COULDN’T GET IT DONE. THEY WERE OUTSCORED BY PITTSBURGH, BY PITTSBURGH, BY A TON OF POINTS. THEY SHOT 23%, LIKE I SAID, FROM THE FIELD AND WENT 14 OF 60. IF YOU WANT THAT STAT THERE. MEANWHILE, PITTSBURGH AS A WHOLE SHOT 14 POINTS IN TOTAL. IT WAS A TOUGH ONE FOR THE CYCLONES IN. HERE’S WHAT THEY SAID AFTER THE GAME. EVERYBODY THIS YEAR PUT THE WORK IN YOU KNOW THOSE GUYS PUT THOSE TIME AND HAD THOSE SHOTS. YOU KNOW THEY WEREN’T TRYING TO MISS THEM ON PURPOSE OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT. SO THE FACT THAT, YOU KNOW, THEY WEREN’T GOING IN, I MEAN, IT HAPPENS IS COLLEGE BASKETBALL. I DON’T THINK I’VE BEEN IN A GAME LIKE THAT WHERE WE COULDN’T REALLY GET ANYTHING TO GO. IT WAS A TOUGH LOSS. WE WEREN’T WE DIDN’T WANT TO LOSE, OBVIOUSLY. AND THAT’S THE GUYS THAT WON’T BE HERE NEXT YEAR. AND I’M GOING TO MISS THEM A LOT. THEY DID A LOT FOR ME THIS YEAR, BUT UPS AND DOWNS AND JUST BEING THERE FOR ME. LIKE I SAID, IOWA STATE SHOT 23% FROM THE FIELD. THEY CUT THE DEFICIT TO FIVE, BUT IT DID NOT CATCH UP TO THEM. A HEARTBREAKING LOSS FOR THE CYCLONES AS THEY LOSE IN ROUND ONE AFTER MAKING A SWEET 16 TOURNAMENT APPEARANCE LAST SEASON. PITTSBURGH WILL MOVE ON TO SURPRISING UPSET FOR THE PANTHERS. BUT FOR NOW, I’M LI
