Will be interested to see what the voters do, but think with all the losses in top 25 this week we should stay put.

Even though we had a successful season last year, I’m guessing dumping the last of previous season’s offensive numbers has boosted these a lot.

If we go 2-0 next week these numbers could be rare air.

We’re in a great spot. Think the bad match ups for us are KU, Purdue, Bama, and UConn.

I don't think ku should be in that list given the game yesterday.

Yeah if we are talking Sweet 16 or beyond opponents give me KU out of that bunch. Maybe Bama over them but not by much. Purdue and UConn’s size is not ideal.

KU plays great defense but I don't think they are a bad matchup.

Phog Allen is a suckhole for everybody.. I was pleased with how it went.

Man would a win against TX be huge though for seeding.

 

[twincyties]

Would rather see KU than Bama. Teams that completely overwhelm us with size (UConn and Purdue) not a great match up. Think Gonzaga would give us problems for same reason.

Don’t know much about teams like Houston, Tennessee, etc

Would be perfectly happy to see someone like UCLA or UVA later in the tourney.

I don't think KU is a bad matchup we killed them on the offensive glass but couldn't convert and had a really bad stretch of TOs. They're a good team so tough to beat for sure but I didn't feel like I did watching the UCONN game where I just thought we looked like we'd have to shoot out of our mind from 3 or something to compete

 

[NorthCyd]

I was ok with yesterday's game. I just wanted a chance to win at the end and we got that. I will be pretty disappointed if we don't beat KU at home.

Houston

 

[NorthCyd]

Just throw Tennessee and UCLA in there and you guys have named off the Kenpom top 7 as bad matchups for ISU. Can't really argue with that.

 

[bosco]

It was disappointing loss but the bigger disappoinment will be if we don't beat Texas Tues in a game we'll probably be small favorites.

 

[cyclone82]

Texas is a huge game for us.....they are very talented and athletic....

 

[madguy30]

Okie State will be a tough match up.

Okie State will be a tough match up.

You say this literally about every team we play in the league. Every game from here on out is going to be tough.

I'm talking to their length as a physical matchup from what I've seen, not just whether games will be tough.

Tech and OU are favorable matchups, so is KU. Not sure what to think about KSU.

 

[Gunnerclone]

My post from before was more forward thinking to the tourney. Those are the teams I wouldn’t want to go against in the Sweet 16.
