Fred Hoiberg is usually a pretty polite dude. He couldn't help from talking trash on Sunday, though.
Before the Bulls and Pelicans tipped off, the head coach passed along a hilarious message to TV analyst and University of Oklahoma alumnus Stacey King, reveling in one particular college football result.
"I was just wondering if (King) saw the Iowa State-Oklahoma game last night. It was pretty good," Hoiberg said, referencing the Cyclones' 38-31 mammoth upset over King's fourth-ranked Sooners.
Ice cold.
Hoiberg, better known as The Mayor in Iowa, had to stick it to King given that his Cyclones were 31-points dogs in Norman. It's not like King was just going to accept the L, though.
"That's the first time Fred Hoiberg has even claimed Iowa State had a football team," King barked back. "Even a blind squirrel will find a nut."
