    AP moved us up #4

    Posted this in another thread but it belongs here. If chalk wins out, UCONN would have to beat the #41 KenPom (FAU) who made the final four last year, #4 (Auburn), #5 (ISU), #6 (Arizona) or #9 (UNC), and #2 (Houston). They might have to beat 2 Top 5 teams to get to the Final Four! An...

    Come On!

    UCONN’s path to the FINAL FOUR could be: KenPom #41, #4, and #5. And then they could get #6 or #9 in the FF and #2 in the championship. That’s insane for the #1 overall seed. Horrible job by the selection committee.

    Jamie Pollard on KXNO today

    The East ended up with 4 teams that are in the AP Top 10. Not that the committee has to use that information but for the committee to rank the East as the "easiest" region when you add up total seed lines is crazy. They missed very badly, including Iowa State.

    *** Official Selection Sunday Thread ***

    We are a #2 seed and just destroyed a #1 and #3 seeds this weekend. When we play like that, we can play with anybody.

    And if they don’t, it means we got to the Elite 8 to have to worry about it. That is a massively successful season. And then you leave it all out there against UCONN, if it is them. Creighton beat UCONN by 20 and Seton Hall by 25 and they also lost to Kansas. They are beatable.

    No one is purposely screwing ISU or teams like ISU…jeez. If we had gotten the #1 seed, we’d have to go out West with Arizona as the 2. Not easy either. I am 100% sure this team doesn’t give a **** about draws and they’ll be ready to go.

    All of the talk is about a potential Drake matchup but WSU is much better. I like our chances against either.

    UNC got hosed too. #1 seed but has to go West to potentially play a #2 Arizona.

    Pollard an AD candidate at Nebby?

    You have spent 20+ years building Iowa State to what it is, you have established and successful coaches at every major sport, you are building your legacy CyTown project, you have a relationship with the President that you enjoy - now is the time to bask in the glory of everything you've built...

    *** WBB: (4) Iowa State vs (2) Texas - Tues., 8:00 ***

    Easy to complain about the refs but we have 20 turnovers (Emily Ryan has 9). Hard to shoot 47% from the field and 50% from 3 and be down by 17 while scoring 44 points. That said, Booker is damn good.

    Lua brewing introduces THC/CBD beverage

    If this passes (it will), Lua has to rework 2/3 of their drinks and Barntown has to rework 100% of their drinks. That’s not easy to do on a whim.

    Lua brewing introduces THC/CBD beverage

    Most other states are looking at full legalization while Iowa is restricting hemp-based THC to 4mg per serving. This place really sucks a lot of the time.

    Dickinson AND McCullar out for KC…so another early loss looks likely. At some point losing games has to matter more than a couple of excellent wins in November.

    Curtis Jones Not Even Honorable Mention

    Without Curtis, there is a 0% chance we are the #2 seed in the Big 12 and #2/#3 in the NCAA Tournament. Almost as valuable as Lipsey, in my opinion.

    Wait. NEBRASKA is the 3 seed in the Big 10??? They are #42 in NET…

    ***2023-24 Mens College Basketball Thread***

    I said it in a different thread - Drake has the same number of Quad 1 wins as Iowa. Iowa has had 11 Quad opportunities. Drake 4. They both have 3 Q1 wins. The committee 100% should put Drake in over Iowa. But they likely won’t because of P6 bias.

    2023-2024 MBB computer projections thread

    Yep. And the way it turned out, the loss yesterday didn’t impact us negatively at all. Still the #2 seed in KC, no chance for the title since Houston smoked KU, lots of #2/#3 seeds lost around us, basicallly a throwaway game. Now it’s time to earn all of the respect built up this season.

    Bracketology 2024

    I think it will ultimately come down to what the committee values? If they value Quad 1 wins, we’re good (we have the 5th most in the country), if they value non-con, we’re a 3. If they are about bad losses, we’re because we don’t really have any while many around us do. If they value the Big...
