    Let’s hope that’s who we draw.

    Bracket thoughts/picks?

    I just don’t see too many huge upsets. However, I do see some intriguing matches in the 2nd round, and sweet sixteen.

    Iowa State Cyclones vs Miss St or Pitt- Fri. 2:10 central, TRU TV

    Great analysis. However, Mississippi State is definitely more efficiently on the defensive end. They pressure you a TON! Much like we do to other teams. And we struggle a lot with those type of teams. Mississippi State might be a little more anemic on the offensive side, but have had good nights...

    Iowa State Cyclones vs Miss St or Pitt- Fri. 2:10 central, TRU TV

    And I don’t disagree with you necessarily. But if we have an “off” game like when Oklahoma beat us in Hilton, it’s not going to matter who we play. When I saw Mississippi State as a potential opponent, I cringed. Would’ve much rather had Arizona State, Nevada, or Pittsburgh. Just a matter of...

    Iowa State Cyclones vs Miss St or Pitt- Fri. 2:10 central, TRU TV

    I feel a helluva lot better matching up with Pitt. I’ve watched Mississippi State’s Chris Jans team this season. They could upset a lot of higher seeds potentially I think. If we could avoid them, then we’re cool I think. If not, we’re in for a dog-fight!

    Both Pittsburgh and Mississippi State are not the powerhouses of the Big 12. But I like our chances with Pittsburgh more. I think we could take care of Xavier too. But that’s where the ride stops I’m afraid.

    Pittsburgh or Mississippi State? I feel more comfortable with Pittsburgh for various reasons. If we get by, I like our chances with Xavier.

    I’m going to with Clemson as being the biggest surprise going in, and Arizona State getting snubbed. Oklahoma State will NOT make it.

    They’ve had the committee speak before about what is entailed with the selection process. They do create the matchups and regions manually. Now I’m not saying computer data isn’t involved, but it’s done by the committee.

    I’ve agreed with you a lot on here, but you’re very wrong. The committee VERY much has a lot to do with matchups. Do you know how many variables goes into creating the bracket? It’s not just ranking teams 1-68 and then, voila—there’s the bracket. Think about it…

    Do you know how much things can change in 3 weeks with college basketball? A ton! I started to analyze that particular bracket more and they had Florida Atlantic as an 8 seed playing Iowa, and then the whole damn thing lost credibility…

    The NCAA March Madness social media page has Iowa State as a 6 seed to face an 11 seed play-in winner of Pittsburgh/Arizona State. To be honest, some of the fanatics projections of a 5 seed as a “for sure fire bet” may be off, and those saying 4 seed ridiculous. We would mop the floor with...

    Kent State? Meh, they’re not a good matchup with us.
