2-20 Bracketology

Lunardi has us at a 9 seed now. Playing St. Louis in the South bracket...would give us a second-round matchup vs. Kentucky.

Anyone but Kentucky please

Saw that. Have to play the big dogs at some time in the tournament if we expect to win it all, might as well knock them off early!

Also replaced Kansas with Michigan State as the final 1 seed.

I would take the 7 seed in that bracket so we could meet up with UNC and beat 'em. St. Mary's as a 7 is a joke IMO. We win 2 out of 4 here down the stretch with at least one win in the Big 12 tourney, we should be a 7 at least.

(*Playing Kentucky would be the worst team to play IMO.)

 

[BCClone]

Just want in. Second round would be nice. I wouldnt complain with any seed.

 

[gocubs2118]

I honestly don't care what seed we are, just want to get as far away from the last four in as possible. If that means being an 8 or 9 seed, so be it.

Not to mention in Louisville. Talk about a nightmare.

 

[WalkingCY]

Playing Kentucky in Louisville of all places too... that would suck. This is why the 8-9 seed is aweful. ISU is better than that seed, I'm sorry.

7 seed in Omaha would be a smart/good fit for us

Can't happen if Mizzou and KU are the high seeds playing there.

 

[cmoore_23]

yeah i noticed that after i looked at it more.. screw them send them to louisville... laugh:

 

[Clonefan32]

I would take anything 10-12 but just don't want an 8 or a 9. Don't want to run into a one seed in the round of 32.

There may be a small chance of us getting Omaha only if KU and Mizzou end up both being #2 seeds.

Is that true with the pod system the way it is? Couldn't we be a 7/10 seed in Omaha with Kansas/MU as a 1 seed?

 

[cy1010]

I was somewhat surprised to see KU get replaced by MSU. Obviously that is going to come down to conf tourney results unless one or the other really missteps down the stretch.

 

[JUKEBOX]

Reminds me of when ISU played North Carolina in Charlotte.

 

[Cydkar]

From reading these daily bracketology threads I'm beginning to think that we don't want an 8 or 9 seed. :SLEEP:

 

[CyinCo]

Kentucky is scary. We wouldn't match up well. I think if we beat TT like we should and then steal a win in the last 3 (I like our chances versus Baylor or KSU), our seeding should get better.

Can't play another Big 12 team in second round. Both Missouri and Kansas are likely to be placed in Omaha unless one of them really tanks. That boots ISU and other Big 12 teams from possibly playing there.
