If ISU could win only 3 more games this year...

[bsaltyman]

So which would ISU fans rather have: The Cyclones end their terrible drought in the Big 12 tournament by winning the whole thing, or make a run in the NCAAs?

Pretty easy for me, 2 in the Big 12 and 1 in the NCAA.

Obvious answer here, 3 wins in the ncaa...that would put us in the elite 8.

Should be no argument! Elite 8 is rarified air....

Would you still say that if one was a play in game, so we only made it to the Sweet 16? I probably still would, because nationally the NCAA gets way more attention than winning the Big 12 tourny would.

Yep

I tried playing devil's advocate for the NIT/NCAA thread. But for this one it's gotta be 3 wins in the big dance.

This is an invalid question since we're not going to be playing in that game.

Only 1 tournament matters at the end of the season... 3 wins there, please.

 

[IowaStateClones]

Dumb question

 

[Cyclonesince78]

The obvious example is the 2000 season.

What do you remember more:

Winning the big xii championship or getting to the elite 8? While I definitely remember both very well, that season is very much remembered for that Elite 8 run.

Elite 8.

Although, I wouldn't be too mad about 1 in the Big 12 and then a Sweet 16 appearance.

Seems like there's been an influx of random/hypothetical threads this week.

Thursday can't get here soon enough.
