ESPN Joe Lunardi bracketology

Don't forget Fran Fraschilla. He loves ISU. :yes:

This is true.

Gottlieb is honestly my favorite. It seems like whenever the Big 12 is mentioned he says a little something about ISU. Fraschilla is awesome as well. He really loves Brackins.

gottlieb always gives us love because he has the utmost respect for hilton and the former teams back in the fizer-tinsley days

A bit early, but he has 7 BIG 12 teams going to the tourny. LINK.

Kansas
Texas
Kansas State
Missouri
Oklahoma
Oklahoma State
Texas A&M

If ISU should beat out one of these schools for the final spot, which school would it be and why? One thing is for sure, it will be very hard!

I could see us RIGHT after these schools (with a good season) and being on the bubble.

KSU, Mizzou, OSU, OU, and A&M all have question marks in their projected rotations just like ISU does but they have all recently made the Big Dance so that's why Joe has them in now. I think the talent and experience on ISU's roster is comparable to those teams and ISU will likely be the hunt for the 4 or 5 bids behind the two probable locks in KU and UT.

Bracketology in May/June is worthless. They can laugh all they want, we will show them what we got next March.

Apparently you didn't listen to the Doug Gottlieb show on ESPN radio this past winter where he said ISU recruits aren't really "Big 12 Recruits"... He wasn't talking about this season, or about particular players, but in general he basically trashed on us.

I think he's a somewhat knowledgeable basketball guy and enjoys his job, but I don't think he has "love" or "hate" for ISU...

Jay Bilas is the best in the business IMO.

If that is the case, then the business needs to upgrade on talent...
