ISU MBB Picked 7th in Big 12 Preseason Poll
- Thread starter BigJCy
- Start date
About what I would have guessed.
I think 7th might be a common projection from a lot of sources. Potential to finish in top 5 seems realistic, though.
CBS Sports has ISU 7th, too.

This is a team with a high ceiling but a lot of unproven potential. I have no issue with a middle of the pack preseason ranking
Same. I think we finish higher than TCU and KSU. Seventh would be about the lowest we should finish IMO.
You could draw 3-8 out of a hat and I'm not sure there's a wrong answer...
Just an outstanding league.

this has nothing to do with anything

TJ's teams have outperformed pre season expectations. I'm looking forward to this team doing the same.

In older days, 7th wouldn't seem great at all, but 7th is awfully good in this crazy conference. At least half of the teams ahead of us will manage to spend some serious time in the Top 10, so 7th definitely isn't a disrespectful ranking here.
That's pretty damn good in this new conference and with all our new players. If we end up 5-7 that's a great year.
If AZ, KU, Houston and Baylor stay at where they've typically been the past five years this conference is going to be as far ahead in hoops as the SEC is in football. That's without even getting to ISU, KSU, TCU and the other programs that have reason to be optimistic.
Can't say I'll like road trips to Colorado again, seemed like even our best teams would struggle in their empty high altitude gym.
We have KU and Houston in this conference plus Baylor and Texas will be talented. A top 3 finish this year would be insane. To me the high end is probably 4. I'm hoping for 5-7 finish
I wonder how often a top ten recruiting class coming off consecutive NCAA appearances that included a Sweet 16 has been picked 7th in any conference.
Going to go out on a limb and say never.
Hoiball got picked 8th out of 10, almost last, pretty much every single year. It got to the point where I considered getting picked 8th out of 10 a sign of guaranteed success.
I think it's useful info. But you should have started a thread in Cyclone Fanatic's Mark Adams News section.
