I'm more concerned about big 12 teams hitting wide open 3s like we gave gonzaga and someone not having a 30 point game to keep it respectable.

Stats are just stats. I think the first thing people are going to realize when conference play starts is our defense isn't as good as we thought. And we are getting out rebounded by teams with legit bigs.
I'm not trying to argue you're just not making sense. You first post said "our stats are based on quite a few poor opponents" when we have an average schedule. I honestly have no clue what you're trying to say
we do not have an average schedule. by your own admission, we are not even average in schedule within our conference. BTW, I don't believe the sky is falling...I hope we play better than we have.
There are 351 teams in Division 1 college basketball. ISU's strength of schedule rank is #182.we do not have an average schedule. by your own admission, we are not even average in schedule within our conference. BTW, I don't believe the sky is falling...I hope we play better than we have.
Yeah, I think it is still going to be a struggle against Baylor, West Virginia, Kansas and a couple of other teams who are really good at offensive rebounding unless Young and Holden can really step it up rebounding wise. I am curious as to why Young didn't play many minutes against Drake.

I would call that average, if you want to get polemical you could call that just barely below "average".

the fact is, our stats are based on quite a few poor opponents.
Bobby, all these terrible Cyclone years have worn on you. We'll probably be a .500 team at worst in conference.If you want our true stats just look at the Iowa game........Gonna be a long big 12 campaign with a lot of lumps thrown in for good measure......

I haven't really read any postgame stuff... Was there ever any comment on Solomon Young's playing time by CSP?
Can't believe I read this whole thread.

I don't think our run is coming to an end, but we may be an NIT team this year.I think that we have a tendency to look at our team through rose colored glasses because nobody wants to say out loud what they may be thinking...makes you sad to think our "run" might be coming to an end.
I tend to agree with you but may be labeled a chicken little by doing so.
I'll still cheer and hope we surprise a few teams this year.
