Hey, cut Iowa fans some slack! That young Hawkeyes juggernaut just beat a dog **** OSU team at home by double digits.

By what metric is Iowa, tOSU or Vandy close to ISU in ranking?
ISU hasn't lost to a team outside of the top 20 at home, so I don't get how comparing a road game at Vandy and a home game vs tOSU makes sense.
Thanks, I'll hang up and listen.

You have the metrics, I will take the scoreboard.
It would be different if ISU lost to Iowa and is going on to have a great season but they aren't. They are going to underperform big time to preseason expectations around here.
We've been hovering 25-35 since the season started so maybe Cyclone fans had higher expectations but they've been performing how the "experts" had them preseason.
But did Fran vote for ISU in the top 25? Need to know how pissed I should be.

Looks like it was unanimous here that the floor for regular season wins was 20.
@CyTwins ouch on your O/U number!
To be fair it should be 21, I forgot we had one less game than everyone else when that was made. I will probably be 2 off of that.
Sometimes a 3 seed, 3 seed, 4 seed and two Sweet 16's inflates expectations. If an ISU fan is complaining about 6 straight tournaments, they haven't been an ISU fan very long.
I've actually become impressed with the fact that JorBo is shooting 33% from the field. With the fact that he is short and releases his shot from the chest, I'm not sure how he ever gets a shot off without it getting blocked. Maybe he can't release it from a higher release point due to the shortness of his arms like a certain, other former Hawkeye great(?).
If it makes you feel better I'm a douchebag on Iowa boards too.
People just take this sports thing way too seriously.
Lol, they are 6th in the B1G standings currently with one of the youngest teams in the country.
