All Iowa State fans are very knowledgeable, probably the most knowledgeable fan base in the country outside of maybe Harvard
Boy talk about vastly differing futures after that NIT title game. Baylor has proved again and again that they can put very good teams on the court, meanwhile Iowa keeps slowly circling the drain.
Looks like it officially does:

Your opinion doesn't matter, cause these are facts. So you're wrong, again. What a shocker.
Cmon dude we know the NCAA says if you make the play in game you "technically" made the NCAA tournament but no fan of college basketball says losing a play in game, the game you have to play in to get into the tournament counts as an appearance.
Can't believe there are still die-hard "PIG is the tourney" people. Have some respect for yourself.
There's a reason it's commonly referred to as the NCAA Tournament PLAY-IN Game
Well obviously it does count as an appearance. I didn't make up or create the criteria for what an NCAA Tournament appearance constitutes. So, go ***** to the NCAA if it's that big of deal to you.
What a sad life you must live if you consider losing a PLAY IN game as an NCAA Tournament appearance. I honestly feel bad for you
I think Iowa also won at Virginia during that NIT run that year. Just look at the direction Virginia went from there, winning ACC titles and getting #1 seeds, meanwhile Iowa used that as a launchpad for a play in game.
It's not about whether I consider it or whether you consider it. The NCAA, which has the only opinion that matters in this situation, considers it. I could care less whether they consider the play in game an appearance or not, doesn't affect my life or happiness. But they do, so it is in fact an appearance.
If ISU lost in a play in game I would NEVER consider it an NCAA Tournament appearance regardless what the NCAA says but then again I don't live a sad, miserable life.
I don't care. If they took away the appearance being official today, I would not give a ****. You're the one that cares so much that people count it.
You just said you cared! Your exact words:
I could care less whether they consider the play in game an appearance or not
@Hawkmi1987 do you have GIF of when Monte looked at the guy in the front row at Carver after scoring and said "too easy"? This would fit well here
The NCAA also recognizes Iowa as a 1958 Football National Champion!!
