What will ISU be ranked?

[jpete24]

Oh?

Yeah....Xavier, Memphis, Iowa and Creighton are nobody basketball teams. Oh, and we beat all of them, handedly.

Remember when Baylor had never won at Hilton? I don't remember when that ended, but it wasn't that long ago... We went to one of the games over break a few years back against BU, it was not as much fun as I'd hoped (b/c we lost...)

Oh you mean the night where it looked like we were going to be in the driver seat to end Kansas’s reign of terror and then Baylor hit 10 million threes in a row and crushed our dreams?

Scott Drew always has a great game plan against us. We are going to have to be ready and anticipate that. Interested to see this matchup but also TJ vs Drew. This is by far the best coach TJ has ever gone up against.

That's the one.
Never underestimate Scott Drew.

I want to believe ISU is a top 10 team... I truly do. After they get into the Big 12 season, we will see. The Big 12 is a total meat grinder. So far ISU has risen to the challenge. I just wish the Baylor game would have been later, when the students could be there.

As you said in another post, we've earned #9. Whether we are number #9 is a different question, although voters mix the two at their leisure.

If we find another half-court scorer, or just become decent in the half-court offense, we can be top-10 good. We're obviously not adding anyone, but there 2-3 guys that can improve, and we have not really adjusted our lineups. Still room for a lot of growth. We'll have some improvement on that end regardless, as I don't think they worked a ton on it to begin the year.

Found our opponent for Tuesday night

That would be amazing

Yes and 3 pointers on 6 straight ******* possessions. From up 8 to down 6 in less than 4 minutes. Just awful

I managed to purge that memory, but now it's all flooding back to me.

It was ~2 degrees out and I was parked at the far end of the parking lot. I remember it well. It was a LOOOONG walk to the car after that game...

Hoiball, difference so far in TJ is his teams don’t allow their misses on offense to translate to misses on defense.

 

[drmwevr08]

1. Screw UNLV. Would love to slot them in this week and let TJ show em.
2. That Baylor game... . ugh
3. Glad I'm not the only one who notices that #9
4. ISU should bus people from DSM with free tix if need be. Hilton Magic has to be as good as it can be on a break!

Ticket prices for Baylor are >$100 now for nosebleeds on ticketmaster. Idk how many are still available but the demand seems to be there. Hilton should be packed.

I posted on Stub Hub and I stupidly just used their suggested price. The tickets sold in under a minute. LOL, I likely could have gotten $40 more per seat. So yes, the demand seems to be coming back.

If this wasn't during break, I absolutely think we'd have a shot. But between the lack of students and the way Baylor manhandled Nova, I'm not too hopeful. Going to love seeing the press before a top ten matchup at Hilton though!!!

Wish the students we’re going to be there

 

[BCClone]

I absolutely think we have a chance against Baylor. I'm hoping that our crowd is a normal Hilton Magic advantage, despite it being on New Year's Day vs a whole bunch of bowl games, and being during break with the absence of the noise from Cyclone Alley.

Always gotta believe. I even thought we had chances last year when games started.
