Speaking of UNI game-- Kelly Self is reffing.

Also, new bracketology from Lunardi

8 seed but he has us playing Creighton so he's a moron b/c committee will not do a rematch, especially first round.

They don’t incorporate every restriction into every mock bracket. It would be pointless.

8 seed on bracket matrix. The good news is if we lose out, the losses won't be bad so I doubt we drop much further. 8/9 seed is not ideal from what we were looking at a week ago, but everyone on here would have signed up for this before the season started.

Hey if we end up an 8 or 9, and play a 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament awesome!

1. We made the tournament
2. That means we won our first tournament game and anyone who saw a Rd of 32 finish this year would have been committed to the asylum
3. We get a chance to etch our name in history by shocking a 1 seed as an 8 or 9. House money.

Obviously would love to avoid the 8/9 but in a 7/10 I argue there may actually be some 2 seeds that are worse matchups for us like Kentucky. Don’t want any part of them.

A lot of bracketologists - especially those who update daily - don't incorporate bracketing restrictions into their brackets until their final bracket of the season. I can't say as I blame them because that is a lot to juggle.

Lunardi literally has NOTHING else to do all day lol.

Jonathon Warriner (MakingtheBracket) says on Twitter that he wouldn't count Iowa State out of being a 7 seed even if we don't beat Tech.

I know it’s more about what offense shows up for us but for my mental health my excitement to play a non big 12 team is high.
Bingo. Exactly what I've been thinking, too. Just look what we did outside of conference play. Tons of reason for optimism. Change of scenery could do this team wonders. I still believe a Sweet 16 is in play with the right matchups.
