March Madness Predictions

So, this is my favorite time of the year, I totally nerd out if given the time. I love looking through the numbers and going from there. Based off those, here are a few preliminary predictions I have (not really specific as I havent been able to follow college basketball like I used to and havent looked closer into matchups and injuries),

This year could be crazy for upsets, I have 6 double digit seeded teams going to the Sweet 16, with a 7 and 8 seed mixed in as well. Only have 1 advancing to the Elite 8.

UNC, Kentucky, and Michigan could all lose by in the 2nd round.

Only Big 12 team I have advancing past the 2nd round at this time is Tech, they make it to the Elite 8.

Duke may not make the Final 4.

Gonzaga looks to be the best overall team.

Iowa State beats OSU fairly comfortably, then loses to Houston in the 2nd round.

What are your predictions once you get the bracket filled out?

Monday is senior night. Be there to see the end of an era

Monday is our last time to see Bridget - and others - in a Cyclone uniform in Hilton. Don't miss it. Bridget's number will definitely be hanging in Hilton; she may even retire as our #1 scorer; it will depend on how far we go in the tournaments.

If you wonder how special BC is, look at what she did tonight at TT. She was scoreless in the first half, but scored half our points in the 4th quarter, including the winning basket.

We will also say goodbye to Meredith Burkhall who drove up from Urbandale to choose the Cyclones. She was ranked the 45th best player in her class nationally and tops coming out of Iowa. She's had a great career here and showed the kind of character that Bill is always looking for in his players.

We will also say goodbye to Alexa Middleton who arrived from Tennessee to handle our point guard duties - and are we ever glad she did. She came out of high school as a McDonald's All-American and ranked the #28 overall prospect nationally and the 4th best guard. She really came into her own once the conference games started.

Unfortunately, Ines Nezerwa will also graduate. She became a crowd favorite with her drive and enthusiasm. We are sorry to see her go. If there is a chance she gets another year, that would be a great thing for the Lady Clones.

Prohm to Alabama?

If Alabama does fire Johnson and that’s a big IF, who could they turn to? The logical choice could be Iowa State head coach Steve Prohm, who is an Alabama grad.

Prohm’s team just took down Kansas in the Big 12 Tournament and may face Auburn in the Midwest Region if both teams win their opening-round game in the NCAA Tournament. A few Tide fans are already predicting this will take place soon.

Y'all are talking about Hoiberg while this is being discussed.

Big game tomorrow night! Cyclone Nation's focus needs to be on the Big 12 Tourney Champs!

If you find yourself posting in the freaking "Prohm to Alabama" or "Fred to Nebraska" threads... just let them die. Our players don't need the ******** distraction. All that matters is beating OSU. This fan base has bigger things to focus on.

If you're in Tulsa, MAKE SOME ******* NOISE!!!! Get this team to KC and let's roll the dice!

GO CYCLONES!
