Sagarin has us as an 8 pt favorite on a neutral court. I'll find out what the Vegas line will be here shortly. What do you want to bet it's more than 3 points?
The way we play we would probably lose to a team like Nebraska or Rutgers. We would get down by like 15 because the guys think they are better than every team and they dont deserve to be on the same court as us. Then we would go on a run to get back into the game, only to lose at the end.
Either that or we would get a big lead on Rutgers then let them back into the game.
On a neutral court? I'd love to be wrong, and that may be what the line is. I still stand by my argument I'm not sure we'd win.

We would not lose to Nebraska at home or at Rutgers. You're a moron
This also isn't some super pessimistic Iowa State kind of thing. I just have been pretty impressed by Iowa the last few times I've watched them. They're pretty darn gritty and Jok is rounding back into form. I just think what we may have in ability and experience, they have in versatility and toughness.
Yes on a neutral court. You said you'd want to bet it wouldn't be more than 2-3 points so I'm asking again, what do you want to bet?
We just lost a neutral court to fre**** Texas who has a crap RPI, but yeah, we would smoke Iowa.
You mean when they got to play Ohio State and Nebraska at home and at Rutgers? Think how impressive we'd look against those squads
You think we'd lose to a much worse team, by any ranking system, on a neutral court. Like I said, our fan base doesn't handle the ups and downs in basketball very well.
Not in Hilton we wouldnt, but thats not what I said. I wouldnt put it past us to lose to a team like Nebraska on the road, where we are clearly better but think we can just go through the motions and win.
We would not sleep walk through that game like the first time. Sometimes we play poorly when we are overconfident. But the talent level is night and day different. We would come in ready to play and win by at least 15.
So you think that morgue down in Austin with about 1,000 friends and family is a hostile environment?
Exactly, who needs every ranking system there is. We have your eyeballs.
So because it wasn't a hostile environment it's considered a neutral court? Lol dude give it up
Everyone that disagrees with CyTwins is a Hawkfan. Fact is we are an average BBALL team. Super erratic and impossible to predict from game to game. We can beat anyone and lose to anyone at the same time. This team is more than capable of losing again to Iowa or losing to a Rutgers/Nebbie.
