5:40 PM senior night ceremony is really pushing it for those who live 30+ minutes away. I hope there’s a good crowd.

I doubt it. I got to my seat with only about 10 min before tip for the Kansas game and barely anyone was in their seat yet. 6 pm games will always be late arriving

Yep we do a good job of getting there it just isn't early.

What I'd really like to see is a broadcast from ESPN+ that doesn't take me back to antenna TV days. ESPN+ broadcasts have been ridiculously choppy and fuzzy for me and I can't wait to stop paying ESPN for the privilege of having to view their crap product.

My Hawk loving father in law is not one of the Hawk fans too crazy about Jorbo. Might be the one thing saving our relationship, besides his daughter. Anyway, he has this sarcastic theory that Jorbo may have some offseason surgery and try to join the women's team next year so he can win a championship with Caitlin. I don't find the joke to be in the best taste necessarily, but do give him a courtesy chuckle when he says it.

At this point, is ISU playing mostly for NCAA seeding/resume? Big 12 seed is fairly set at this point with TCU win last night, correct?

As far as game expectations/predictions go, I don't have a great feel for this one. Senior night in Ames, but what does it really mean? We only have one 4-year guy, and everyone else has been here for a calendar year or less. Everyone could come back in theory. Not sure that "want to" will be higher than any other game.

Oklahoma State is a tough nut to crack. Seems like they will always compete for the first 20 minutes no matter who the opponent is. Their record isn't great, but seems like it could be much worse given they haven't had a carrot to chase all year. People may forget this, but Bryce Williams missed the game in Stillwater. I believe he's back, and he is their third leading scorer and tied for first in assists.

This one will probably be too uncomfortable to handle once again. Only way it isn't nip and tuck is if Iowa State comes out with a barrage of scoring and Oklahoma State comes out a little cold. If we get up big early, I don't think OSU has the shooting to get back in it. At this point in the season, we might catch them with a little quit in them, their eyes focused on spring break. I hope that happens, but I can't predict it. Our guys don't shoot as well in Hilton this year. We're gonna have a nailbiter.

This post gets the winner award with me (not surprised). I feel the same way. I mean, Senior Nights just haven’t been in our favor in recent years, probably because emotion gets in the way but hopefully that will change.

I would love to pull out a close one, but I am going to guess the Pokes win by something like 6.

OSU 70 ISU 64

Good question. I’d say that they are working on that 10-5 seed range with the committee to be very honest with you. If we completely won out, I would seriously doubt we do better than a 5 in the dance. Obviously if we completely implode we still get in with a 10 seed. Just my slant.

But as far as Conference Tourney seeding, I think there are quite a number of variables out there. Obviously it would become more clearer after tonight.

With OSU not playing post season at all.......I think if we get up it will snowball. Whatever had the guys handcuffed in the middle of the year seems to have worked itself out. The guys have something to play for.......OSU not so much.

In fact I will go out on a limb and say they will win tonight and Saturday in Baylor and end up 9-9. After watching them lately it just has the feel of December again. And while Baylor is good......they aren't last year good.
