Guessing we end up with one of the higher 5 seeds in the S curve.

Eh, let it happen. I wouldn't like ISU playing there.
If they lose in the first round we can sit back and enjoy the post-game Haydenism.
Yeah; I literally could not watch basketball for the rest of that day. Thankfully, being a dual ISU/UNI fan was my salvation that year; UNI was a 5 seed that year and won their first round game the next day. If they had lost that in the classic 12 over 5 upset I don't think I could have watched another game for the next three weeks.
We are not closer to a mid-major talent wise. If we were, there'd be absolutely no way we'd even sniff any post season play, NCAA or NIT, playing in the toughest conference.
Mid-majors don't beat KU, Texas, KState, TCU and Baylor (3 times) in a season.
Just curious, which mid-major team out there in your opinion would've duplicated ISU's season in the Big XII?
With VCU getting their bid today, they've now been to half a dozen more tournaments than Virgina Tech.
Not just Lunardi. On Bracket Matrix only 23 of 83 brackets have them in. Their last team in, Pitt, has 51.
Lol, they have an enrollment of 33,000 playing in the A-10 compared to playing in the ACC. Not really a fair comparison.
Give us Drake. Give us Drake on a muddy court, I don't care.
TJ is a helluva coach. Lol.
I'm not saying they are mid major talent level. I'm saying they're built more like a mid major. No single highly talented player, or a few high scoring players that will outscore a team. They're a hard nosed, defense oriented team, that slows tempo and forces turnovers.
Early games bad if you are the favorite. You want to play later after a couple upsets, gets your guys focused after seeing someone else get upset.
Super late night games are upset times too, just cuz its late and weird.
VCU has had a program 65 years less than Virginia Tech.
Keep in mind VCU PG is Jayden Nunn who we basically said thanks but no thanks after offering him a scholarship when TJ arrived..Bc we wanted T Hunter...
Of all the mid major teams VCU presses and plays legit D. Their offense isn't good.
But for ISU we need teams in our bracket early who aren't the best on D and don't pressure you all game.

I don't know who will win this thing but I think Bama's best game beats everyone else's
Them vs Houston would be my favorite for the title right now but that’s only if Sasser is healthy
What an awful time for that injury. Doesn't seem serious but if he's not healthy in a week a team like Arkansas or West Virginia could beat them

And they never stuck themselves with Seth Greenberg.
No kidding and what bad luck to have a groin injury. That will stay around for a while.
Here's my predictions:
Bama overall #1, then Kansas, then Purdue and then Texas. Yes Texas as a 1, assuming Houston continues to get their ass kicked. With a Houston loss and a UCLA loss last night it opens the door for Texas who has been playing really well.
