7-3 against the top of the conference and 2-6 against the bottom......not sure I've ever seen anything like that in 40 years watching college basketball.
Most Improbable Win Since?
- Thread starter CoKane
- Start date
I think many felt like ISU could beat them straight up as WI wasn't that good.
Not flinching when BU cut it to 4 was maybe the best part of the deal.
No doubt. It was so nice not see them panic and get that weird look in their eyes.
This feels like that. Good ISU fans (I am talking about the level-headed types, not the negative-Nancy's) were saying we'd never have a win over Oklahoma until CFB was cancelled forever, then we just go down there and put off a W.
7-3 against the top half of the Big 12 & 2-6 against the bottom half.
In basketball........Johnny beating Michigan in Minneapolis.
That one was surprising and not at the same time if that makes sense. Like the talent was there but we were sliding so hard to the point people were actually unsure if we would make the tournament before that. Without a doubt a contender for it
Thought you weren’t watching anymore.
That's valid. I think beating one on the road with the losses we took before it makes it one though
Yeah for me it also comes from it being the weekend after I drove to Nashville and back and watched that bad game there.
Yeah, I think if you somehow win the one against WVU in Hilton on Monday, you get a different result today in all likelihood. But blowing out #7 on the road just does more for the mental side of the game for the guys at a critical time.
Memphis early last year, if only because we were all still hoping to be mediocre and competitive. I don't remember anyone thinking we had a real shot in that game, we just hadn't seen it yet against that level of talent. Hopefully today builds some confidence and leads to that same kind of run.
Keep in mind we hadn't beaten a single top 25 home or away in his tenure before this.
Since '17 @ Kansas to me. That win gets talked about a lot because it's "winning at the Phog" and it's just so rare to win down there, but it was critically important to how that season played out. That Monte team was really struggling to find their identify early on and they were not playing good ball. That win got that team their mojo back. Hope this does the same.
Timing of when we were playing those teams and how were playing at the time contributed to this, but still quite odd.
McD only had one top 25 win in Ames his whole career here? Is that right? Jeebus.
This team has 8 this year.
