Last 4 games expectations?
- Thread starter SCISUFAN
- Start date
Exactly. Which I believe puts us in a great position for Thursday AM vs Baylor in the conference tourney. I would predict a loss there as well to complete the flame out.

I agree but I don't. Definitely out of sync and tired, and I have no idea what to expect.
Do whatever will get this team ready for a post season run. Not necessarily a lot of rest, but turn the knobs to dial in chemistry, solidify roles, and lock down on defense. Maybe it means playing a few new lineups or shifting some minutes around. Something to get a spark.
I am expecting 2-2, but winning out it possible. Anything less than 2-2 would be a disappointment. At this point the priority should be getting right for the B12 and NCAA tournament now that ISU is a lonnnng shot at regular season B12 title.
Despite seeming popular opinion, I think this team could really do some damage to close out the season.

I didn't think it was even possible, but it appears that there is ONE situation that still has Iowa State as the #1 seed. About 95% of the situations put us in the #4 or #5 seed, which is where I fully expect to be. Hopefully 4-0 to close, but even 3-1 is OK.
3-1. Although I know pessimism is running rampant, I feel pretty good about the next 2. Bounce back home win tomorrow night, followed by @ Texas, very winnable. Hate to say it, but the @ WVU game worries me a bit, even more so if coming off 2 wins. They suck, but that seems the way this season has gone.
Hopefully it's a 3 game win streak with TTU coming to Hilton.

2-2, beat Oklahoma and West Virginia, that should still be enough to keep us in the 4-5 seed line. Anything less than that and we have to win a couple games in the Big 12 tourney or we drop to a 6 or 7 seed.
Vs OU - I think OU is going to give us their best shot cause it would be a good resume builder for the tournament. 0-1
@ UT - I think they know how to play us from watching the other games. If Roach plays, we lose, if not we have a shot to win. 0-2
@ WVU - it is a close game since it is their last home game of the year. ISU has too much talent. 1-2
Vs. TTU - they need the win for a chance at the title. They are playing good bball now too. 1-3
We get the 5 seed and win the Big 12 Tourney. Beating Baylor, KSU and TTU along the way.

I don’t want to see another loss in Hilton. And losing @WVU would be worst loss of the year, so yeah 3-1 is expectation
No way they lose three times to Baylor. Bring em on.
If nothing else, that'd be amusing if it happened.
Believe it or not, there are at least 2 scenarios that gives ISU the title outright. Keep in mind, I do NOT expect this to happen.
