Binner has to be like, "Yeah I just got silver in a high-octane, gripping game, but now I have to go back to St. Louis."

Hopefully Blues players are watching this, seeing how engaged Binner can be if they were just as engaged in front of him.

I rewatched the two 3-pointers early to go up eight (by Joshua and Toure), and the last two (Batemon and Heise). I could not hear the PA announcer after any, and that was just watching on TV. I can only imagine how deafening it must have been in Hilton. #BlueCy

For the record, I don't think they'll win out. But they could. If they play like the last two games, they will have a shot.

The resume has the chance to be incredible. They can win all of those games. If they do, how do you leave them off the 1 line?

What an f-in game and win. Something feels special. ##BlueCy

This game. Like John and Eric said, it feels like an Elite Eight game or deeper. #BlueCy

Iowa State may not face a tougher defense than this. There's a reason why Houston has cleaned up in the league a couple years in a row. So hard to rattle. #BlueCy

Piss poor rebounding. #BlueCy

These free throws are going to cost Iowa State at the most important point of its season, whenever that is. #BlueCy

Though Tech might be able to make a stronger claim after last night.

If ISU can get the win against Houston on Big Monday, it'll have three of the best wins against anyone this year and probably erase the stench of the Cincinnati loss. #BlueCy

Yes, Bill Self, the conference is a bitch, particularly on the road. #BlueCy

Is it me, or did Fran Fraschilla love Iowa State before this year? #BlueCy

They also put Jerome Tang in his place, so I stand corrected.

But they don't do that, in any sport overall. That's why we load up on Tums.

I'm frankly getting tired of seeing Jefferson handling the ball 25 feet from the basket. Six turnovers for a 4 or 5. Inexcusable. #BlueCy

Two awful conference losses. A 2 seed may be out of the question now. #BlueCy

Maybe Cook County will be one of those they want to annex into Iowa. How could folks in Chicago pass up the utopia we are?

This team, playing this way, will lose by double digits to KU and Houston at home. #BlueCy

Joshua Jefferson is an elite big man passer, but awful ball-handler. There is a difference. #BlueCy

Offensive KenPom is going to take a hit tonight. #BlueCy

Elite Eight, few seconds left, Iowa State down 1. Other than Milan, who do you want at the line? I say no one. #BlueCy

It kills me how many people who write press releases, particularly those who should know better, have no idea how to use AP style. That should be a bare minimum.

Not a great finish but a win it is. Got some things to clean up and it better get done as the schedule becomes massively tougher soon. #BlueCy

Baylor is dead on the defensive end. #BlueCy

Looks Iowa State is going to have to work hard to take this one home. #BlueCy

Scott Drew was continuing to bitch about an illegal screen that wasn't called -- minutes after it happened.

Think T.J. is rubbing this thing is Tang's face, keeping the starters in this long? #BlueCy

Great to see Buchanan asserting himself once again on the defensive end. #BlueCy
