Iowa is stealing our thunder!
ISU has looked shaky all year, but was really hoping to see the #2 or 1 team come into the shoe and get knocked off.

Iowa State is not a good defensive team. They will also quickly settle for 3's.

Epic choke job by the Hawkeyes. What a crazy comeback.

That's why they play the game until the final buzzer goes off. Credit Iowa St. that was down by 20 at one point to come back to win it. That's what good teams do.

So had Iowa made their last shot would Iowa state not be a good team?

Exactly. Just because a phrase becomes popular like "good teams do ...", doesn't make it wisdom and doesn't make it 100% true. Sometimes it's just another cliche. Just as easy to say good teams don't fall behind by 20 in games they should win 80% of the time.

You can also flip it the other way and ask had Iowa made the last shot does that make them a good team? A quality tournament team come March? But, Iowa did not make their last shot. They did not do enough to ultimately win the game. Iowa St. did. They found a way to get back in the game and pull out the win. That separates them from other teams. That's why they are 8-0 and ranked #4 at present. Getting into the "what ifs" is not why I made the comment.

Good teams lose close games too. I just don't get your point. Iowa is not less of a good team because they missed that last shot instead of made it. If UC wins a close one at Cintas today it doesn't suddenly make XU a worse team.

Obviously when a game is decided by one point, luck will play a huge part.in it. However, good teams tend to win close games more times than not, as bad teams tend to do.just the opposite.
The shot Iowa State had to win it, a running floater by Morris, was a much better shot than the desperate three pointer by Iowa's big guy.
