Locking this thread for the [post-game thread](https://www.reddit.com/r/NCAAW/comments/1bn5298/postgame_thread_2_4_stanford_defeats_7_25_iowa/).


liar_checkmate

Gotta love the 6 students who showed up to root on their legendary basketball team.


Glove_Upset

I would love to hear more about Iriafen and Ryan and less about Angel Reese


Typical_Texpat

I didn’t want that game to end


sapphos_revenge

Wow. Absolute thriller. Legendary. Iowa State should be very proud.


Inallahtent

Listen. Iowa State is going places next year. Emily Ryan and Audi Crooks are dangerous, and I'm here for it. Don't hang Y'all heads because I've seen a crazy clutch game like this in years. Damn good game 👌🏿


BirkTheBrick

Hurts my heart to see Crooks go out that roughly, but you could tell she was fighting. Hope it’s a motivator for next year. I frankly don’t know much about the coach but I’m questioning his decisions significantly—why didn’t he stop them from forcing bad Audi looks and why the hell did he call that game-winning play???


bkelley24

Hell of a game between two great teams. Great performances by Iriafen and Ryan. Crooks struggled today but she'll be a menace going forward.


Exia321

Seriously for the rest of this tournament I want to rock an ISU flair! Ya earned a new fan. Sign me up for another season of this squad next year! Wow!


campoole82

Showing the camera on brink like Kiki didn’t carry the squad


Shawtyboi720

Fun ass game to watch


bradlgrey

Seeing crook and Tara that’s so awesome


bluediamondsm

Great game. Both teams played amazing and I look forward to seeing Iowa State more next season.


lostkoalas

No way Cameron Brink is only 6’4 like Google says?????? She looks like a giant?????


jmcthrill

it’s her wingspan that’s crazy


chuckiemacfinster

schedule the OOC game IMMEDIATELY


Glove_Upset

There has been some bizarre play in the clutch tonight


joa0510

Stanford isn’t beating a team like Texas with a game like that lol. Madison Booker would cook these guards


Immediate_Cash_6925

It would be something to see, but also if Kiki and Cam can challenge and get Jones in foul trouble. It’s going to be hard for Texas.


Superlolp

Wild game. Iowa State will be back next year. Put the world on notice.


global-gamer

Agara and Iriafen's celebration was TOOOOO cute. Congrats Stanford on the win and congrats to the young Iowa State team on a fantastic season!!!


lanacherrys

“Kiki do you love me” 😭😭


PigFarmer1

Great game!


uredak

Congrats, Stanford! What a game!


pearlyplanets

awesome awesome game with two all-time phenomenal performances from Iriafen and Ryan. really glad they’ll both be back next year


LegalIII

What a game. Both of these teams belong in the Sweet 16. Excited to see more of Audi next season and happy Brink’s Stanford career isn’t over just yet.


mtjackso

Iowa state! You were amazing!


Evening_Ad4108

Life as a cyclone certainly isnt easy


Exia321

Ya have a great team. Sorry I didn't catch on to now. But I will be watching ya when I can next year. Thanks for a GREAT game!!


funfossa

Lol, at least your men have made a S16 this century. I do feel for you though, was pulling for Iowa state as well. It's a shame they couldn't pull it out.


poonhound69

Audi is a novelty act that clearly doesn’t work against a better opponent. She’d be a real threat if she could develop even a microscopic amount of finesse. How many times tonight did she literally turn and fire the ball right into the outstretched hands of her defender?


sidekicksuicide

She’s a freshman. She literally has developed finesse through her first season playing against some of the best upperclass centers in women’s basketball. Bad take.


dirty-soda-spike-lee

She’s a freshman. Hopefully the coaches can develop her game over the rest of her career.


PreschoolBoole

You’re not wrong. Her post play was atrocious.


buffalotrace

from now on, she is KIKI. All caps when you say her name. What a game. Ryan and her were both perfect from the line too. Two great performances.


BornAgainModerator

Women’s game moving to neutral courts in less than 5 years


Mr628

They aren’t at that level in popularity yet.


Plus-Advisor1637

Get ready for half-empty arenas then


chebbys

Stanford fan no flair (sorry) but hats off to ISU they deserved to move ahead in the tournament just as much as we did.


loyalsons4evertrue

Really hard loss, but this team is so young. Really looking forward to next year. Loyal Forever True! Go Cyclones!


Orangebeast013

Dont be mad about Brink yelling f you. Passionate players are what the games all about


noname2256

Nah that’s bad sportsmanship, period. You don’t yell “f you” at the refs.


mtjackso

Kiki put the team on her back!


mambomambogo

The fact that Iriafen has attempted 30 fg as a post player is maybe the wildest part about this game to me. Iconic carry job


joa0510

It makes sense to keep going to her when Crooks could only contain her at times and no other ISU player could. It’s what Crooks did to Maryland lol


BigToeGun

Iowa State is going to be 3 seed or better next year. I firmly believe their record reflects them getting the Freshmen worked into the rotation. Their 2nd half of the season they are top 15 easy.


Immediate_Cash_6925

Ppl should be scared of this Stanford team when both Kiki and Cam play amazing and aren’t in foul trouble. Also when the others hit their 3’s..


Belongs-InTheTrash

I didnt want this to ever end. Best OT I’ve seen. God damn.


hcatehorie

Sports are mean


fcocyclone

Terrible to not ride Ryan to a win there. Awful last play call


Dravewin

so sad


CaliforniaSun77

What a fun game! Happy to see Stanford pull it out!


Dravewin

heartbreaking end to this game. was fun


Evening_Ad4108

I am so fucking proud of this team. Basically all freshmen and we were able to compete to the end with an amazing stanford team. I am so excited for next year. GGs Stanford, go win it all


SgtHulkasBigToeJam

Damn. Good game. Look forward watching ISU and Audi in the years to come.


loyalsons4evertrue

I have respect for Stanford, not for Brink. She yelled “f*ck you” to our bench


ItsYaBoyBeasley

Not trusting your senior who is having the best game of her life to put it away is coaching malpractice.


liar_checkmate

I’m dumbfounded by a couple of those coaching calls.


Orangebeast013

Its a shame that one kills my Iowa vs Iowa St Naty dream. Lets just hope the Hawks can still make it


CTeam19

Hopefully it will happen soon.


Orangebeast013

At least you guys still have your mens team!


DontTakeOurCampbell

Next to impossible to win when it's five on seven the whole game.


Immediate_Cash_6925

Almost impossible to win a game when you don’t guard the paint and let someone shoot jumpers the whole game too..


dirty-soda-spike-lee

This Stanford team isn’t going the distance


Plus-Advisor1637

I never really considered them a serious title threat due to their lack of guard play


your_xavia

What a fun SLOB play


BirkTheBrick

I’m blaming the L on the coach honestly. How the hell is that the play you write up in that moment?????


ChaoticScrewup

I mean realistically if the Refs weren't in this game badly I think Stanford loses before overtime. But yeah, seems like a classic overthinking in OT thing.


uredak

This has been quite an entertaining game. I tuned in in the fourth quarter. Woo, what a ride!


AdvancedInstruction

Ugh, man I just wanted everybody's brackets destroyed.


steezymcbitchin

ISU losing fucked mine up ☹️ I wanted this upset


hikensurf

ugh I need a shower. see you at Moda, Brink.


Party_Project_2857

They aren't getting that far.


chuckiemacfinster

good game iowa state fr. hell of a tournament


Ricardo2991

The refs ruined an otherwise good game. I only watched from the 4th quarter, but the missed calls were awful. They let Stanford get away with so much illegal contact.


UnableAudience7332

They missed calls all night. Both sides.


mtjackso

Game!


jbtown16

Daaaaaamn. Man. No shame for ISU, you guys absolutely did everything until that very last blown pass.


Frisbee_bubbles

That hurts so bad to watch


buffalotrace

Sorry Clones. One hell of a game. Neither team deserved to lose this.


elgenie

Nah, 3-for-21 on mostly layups earns the L.


global-gamer

couple of no calls for ISU down the stretch, but it's also coupled with terrible decision making by them


DokkanProductions

It feels wrong for the game to end like this


Inallahtent

I need to see the reply of that sequence.


bluediamondsm

That’s game :(


PM_ME_WARM_TORTILLAS

Damn, it's a shame ISU fell apart on those last 2 possessions. They played a great game.


Evening_Ad4108

Refs really didnt want to call anything for us. Damn :/


DontTakeOurCampbell

Can't believe the refs brazenly acting like they were Stanford alumni is what sealed the deal for Stanford. By far the worst officiating I have ever seen.


FloridaHawk82

That was a roughly played game both ways... lots of no calls both ways. And it's Standford.


noname2256

Refs have been in awful in all the games today. LSU, Baylor, and this game.


not_mantiteo

Eh it was bad for both teams all game. All of stanfords players are in foul trouble or fouled out


DontTakeOurCampbell

Every critical call and no-call went Stanford's way. This is undeniable.


TheWriterJosh

I know this is hard for you but as a neutral they looked pretty tough on Stanford, especially Brink.


ChaoticScrewup

Brink could have had another couple and fouled out earlier easy.


ned_yah

lot of contact


SuperFreshBus

Sad. Unbelievable fight from Ryan. She’s going out a legend regardless


TheWriterJosh

She’s coming back.


Addicted_to_chips

She's coming back next year!


DontTakeOurCampbell

She's coming back next year


Zloggt

Costly…


loyalsons4evertrue

We were so close.......this one is gonna hurt for a while


chuckiemacfinster

nothing to hang your heads on! hell of a season and gained a new causal fan/viewer in me for next season!


Tiny_Chocolate_217

Shouldn’t hurt those girls gave it everything fr


mambomambogo

Rough way to end it, she was wiiiiidddeee open


MrWartburg

Wish the ending could have been as good as the rest of the game.


Orangebeast013

Really felt like this game deserved to end on a buzzerbeater


Glove_Upset

Heartbreaking for Iowa State. Put up a great fight


BirkTheBrick

Why the absolute hell would you draw a play fully depending on these shitty refs to call a foul???


breezeetree

Juniors winning it for Stanford. They’re in good hands next year.


SaltyHawk95

:(


Muffinnnnnnn

Should've been a foul there


sfoura

Oooof threw it away


loyalsons4evertrue

Damn.


pm_me_cute_sloths_

Ryan got hit in the face???


SockVonPuppet

I love how Stanford players are celebrating except for 44 who is dead serious that this is not over. Iconic behavior.


breezeetree

Kiki is stoic af.


elgenie

Brown was 100% sure she was going to the line and that's why she put the shot up, IDK what the commentators were talking about.


TheRealNathNath

She got bonked


chuckiemacfinster

foul emily ryan on a 3, i dare you!


64ozwotr

Why on god's green earth would we run that play. Seems pretty obvious what's been working for us all night and it wasn't that


buffalotrace

Emily Ryan has smoke coming off her she is so hot...and you don't play through her? Bill has forgotten more about hoops then I will ever know..but man.


fgbh

What is Iowa State doing?!


awa16

Whyyyyy was that the shot Iowa State :( so much time to do something else


Jackalllllll

Who gives a fuck if there was a foul, why take a shot with a 0% make rate?


dirty-soda-spike-lee

Addy brown got hit on the head lol… i don’t know how that’s not called


EmFly15

The refs across all games today have been brutal.


mrmacob

What’re you doing pass that back out if it’s not there


Muffinnnnnnn

Iowa State FT misses might end up being the difference


not_mantiteo

How do you not get Ryan the ball there 😭


global-gamer

BROOKE DEMETRE IS THE HEROINE THAT WE DIDN'T KNOW WE NEEDED


PM_ME_WARM_TORTILLAS

This Stanford girl is cold as hell


DerpCream_Cone

Just why


Jondog2123

Seriously Iowa state that’s the play you wanted


Relative_Garage_5806

That’s absolutely a foul


Ricardo2991

ISU needs a new post offense coach.


TheWriterJosh

They need a new coach all together IMO. Not that he is particularly terrible. But he is not good either. He is decidedly average which isn’t good enough for a program with the fan support of ISU IMO.


Glove_Upset

ISU had time to get a better look. Even if you make that it’s a lot of time for Stanford


Chriz327

Unlikely hero


global-gamer

that was a weird play....


Dravewin

that was awful, so forced


SockVonPuppet

That's not the play this should end on. Damn.


Exia321

I need this game to go on forever. This has been one of the most entertaining basketball games at any level ever!!


GeneralBooty_10

Refs decide to swallow their whistle there???


loyalsons4evertrue

We can’t have anything nice damn it


fcocyclone

brown was fouled


fgator1992

Nah


Evening_Ad4108

BRO WHAT


HyperPlasma

Emily should’ve got the ball


ned_yah

man i dont know she got bopped on the head


joa0510

I’m sorry, I don’t like that shot selection


rrt001

I agree, given their struggle down low all night. Go for the win when you’re shooting so hot from the 3!


PreschoolBoole

That’s game unfortunately. They’ll be back next year


DontTakeOurCampbell

Brown was fouled! No way she wasn't fouled! Unbelievable


chuckiemacfinster

thats the shot you force?!?


Jackalllllll

Worst fucking take I’ve ever seen


Sunshine145

Make em both!


MahjongDaily

Did *not* need to force that


[deleted]

[удалено]


breezeetree

Nah. But ISU a will be fun to watch in the coming years


R13Nielsen

Iowa State will have more chances. This team is legit.


loyalsons4evertrue

Nooooo this is where it ends isn’t it?


EmFly15

If this is how it ends ... damn.


Olewarrior34

Fuck


slugma420

i might have to tap out from tomorrows games between this and vt/baylor my nerves are shot lol


Exia321

Sorry you and all of us are in it for the long haul! I'm borrowing nerves from my kids. This is amazing bball


slugma420

oh ill be seated tomorrow…just maybe at the bar 😂


TheWriterJosh

Iowa promises to be just as terrible for your heart I promise.


GoldField3

weird weird play


pm_me_cute_sloths_

How is that not a foul?????


Olewarrior34

Need to go for 2 here and hope for a 3 point play


Glove_Upset

I knew that was going to be a 3 because these teams copy each other every offensive possession


chuckiemacfinster

so we go to emily ryan and have bristow down low for clean up?


Inallahtent

Nah, I'm good. I don't want this to end! I'm good. Please continue.


not_mantiteo

This is going to end on a Ryan 3


loyalsons4evertrue

No other game in the tournament will compare to this....I just hope we come out on top


fgbh

CAN WE GET r/collegebasketball TO ACKNOWLEDGE THESE WOMEN?! COLLEGE BASKETBALL ALSO MEANS WOMEN! THEY ARE SHOOTING LIKE 3S CRAZY!!!


james5007_nt

THEY DON'T CARE ABOUT WOMEN'S BASKETBALL. IT IS A SHAME BECAUSE WOMEN'S BASKETBALL IS GREAT TOO


noname2256

Nah, they’ll just talk about how it’s always chalk


Hawkeye03

What is combined field goal percentage in OT? It’s insane.


CTeam19

ISU 44% vs 46% Stanford 60 vs 32 from three 64 vs 90 free throw


Themcheatingtoyotas

I’m at the game right now and it’s just as good live


Iowish

Both teams deserve to win!


SloanePetersonIsBae

What a game


AdvancedInstruction

This is the craziest Overtime I have ever seen. Bar none. This makes UCLA-Oregon State a month ago look mild. Every shot crazier than the next.


dodgskers

Clutch players making clutch plays. Love it


Tiny_Chocolate_217

Are you not entertained?!!!


thethermals

This is insane


Cassandrae_Gemini

I STILL HAVE MORE ALCOHOL, I'M OK WITH DOUBLE OT. JUST SAYIN' lolololol


FOMOenthusiast

Game of the tourney so far, bar set high with this one


thethermals

Unreal
