Are we even a tournament team?

[madguy30]

If we lose tonight and at Baylor... we shouldn't make it in IMO. We will make it in, but we shouldn't.

I want and hope for ISU to win tourney games in general.

I REALLY hope they win one this year re:these types of statements.

And if they get beat the first round, we should make a Bingo card for who's going to be thriving in the misery.

The 'didn't want TJ' crowd will be ecstatic but will magically still not mention who they think would realistically come to ISU and succeed.

 

[CycloneJoe6]

Right now I would say we’re an 8 seed. If we lose out then it could become dicey and we would be nervous on selection Sunday.

That’s it, I take this guy word over top bracketologists. He knows something

 

[cyclones500]

Which team right now would you put in from Lunardi next four out?

Hey, all that's required for the #17 team to drop ~25 slots is to lose to a First Four team and a road game vs a 2 seed.

If ISU loses at Baylor for about the 37th time this decade people had better be worried about two-three seasons from now.

heh! Yep, I'm already worried about how our 2026 recruiting class will take shape!

Can a 17-14 (8-10) team make the tournament?

Can a 17-14 (8-10) team make the tournament?

Most likely depends if they can win a game or 2 in the conference tournament. I don’t won’t to consider what could happen if we don’t win a game in the B12 tourney

We may very well be a 7 seed in the tournament.

We may very well be a 7 seed in the tournament.

17-14 and a 7 seed just seems crazy, but its what the smart bracketologists are saying.

It should be interesting. It will be between us, TCU, and OSU. We have a tie breaker over TCU

And OSU has the tiebreaker over us. Right now if they both win one of their last two and we drop both, we are a 7.

You’re saying an 11 loss team that is unranked is a 4 seed? Lol, okay.

 

[CYCLNST8]

I don’t see this team winning another game.

 

[Skyh13]

I don’t see this team winning another game.

They won’t, that seems pretty clear. I think the season is effectively over.

 

[SWCy13]

This team will not win another game this year. They are mentally weaker than every team in the big 12.

 

[jbclone10]

This team is broken. Mentally broken. Thank goodness TJ holds onto TOs for the final seconds after the game is over. That helps.

 

[KCClone1]

I was saying the exact same thing last year at this time. Then, boom, Sweet 16. Everyone has such a short memory. Step away from the ledge.

 

[Clonefan32]

TJ insisted on recruiting defenders this offseason and this is the byproduct. It is what it is.

He recruited AJ Green pretty hard.

17-14 and a 7 seed just seems crazy, but its what the smart bracketologists are saying.

There have been a couple of teams that have gotten at-large berths before with these records, and have even been single-digit seeds.
