Are we cautiously optimistic or all in?

Just posted in the game thread, but Memphis was the perfect indisciplined team for this defense to exploit. I want to see it against a veteran team before I go all in. Barring inury, this team looks like a NCAA team. But if this can translate into an every night thing, we could compete for the conference title. No one else has impressed me much.

It's clear that we're better than we thought we were.

It's not clear if we're sustainably that good, or if we're on a something of a magic carpet ride right now and perhaps come back down to earth somewhat at some point in the future.

But who cares? It's fun to watch, there's palpable buzz around the program, and at least for the moment we've captured the college basketball world's attention.

I’m all in on this team. My expectations are still low and I’m just going to enjoy it but I’m thinking this may very well be a tourney team.

I feel like I skipped a season of Iowa state basketball and really missed the excitement from watching them. The heart probably could use that year off anyways. Especially with football now being good
