Are we even a tournament team?

Lol how did this turn into a Prohm thing? I am also sticking with TJ. I’m pumped we have TJ and I love what he’s doing so far. Can’t wait to see what he can do with Omaha and Milan!!
I Assume what U R saying is that we are not Kansas or Texas in MBB...If thats so you are right my friend...KU has been winning conference championships and natl titles for a long time...texas has now gone out and bought a winning basketball program!!
MONEY trumps recruiting these days!!
Tell me you don't get sarcasm without telling me you don't get sarcasm.
If they were winning more in a lesser conference would that make them good?
Nope. The team is what they are. Iowa State isn’t bad, but they aren’t good either. They’ve greatly exceeded my expectations this year though so I’m happy.
Partially, yes. This team still has some major weaknesses though. Missouri, UCONN and Iowa also exposed those issues and we can’t say that is Big 12 related.
There's no guarantee we'd have a better record the last month playing in a conference like the Big 10 or SEC. We got blown out by those 7th and 8th place level teams already.
Yeah, if we got a few Minnesota, Georgia, Ole Miss type games we'd have alot of wins, but we'd probably be in a similar 4-6, 3-7 type stretch if we played the tourney and bubble teams in those conferences.
And if we were in a ****** conference, say the B1G, we would probably be about 22-5
I've offered but he needs drugs that are still being developed.

Reading through these threads I seriously doubt some people even understand quad wins and what the committee looks at but I digress. Iowa State is still a 3 seed, yes even after last night, why? Compare them to St. Mary's since a lot of you just look at total wins.
St. Mary's 23-5 (2-1) quad 1 wins, good win Gonzaga who is currently a 4 seed.
Iowa State 17-10 (8-10) quad 1 wins, good wins Kansas 1 seed, Texas 2 seed, Baylor 2 seed, K state 3 seed and I could go on.
These resumes aren't even comparable which is why one team is a 3 seed and the other is out of the top 16. ISU will more than likely finish 19-12 going into March madness and will be right on the 4-5 seed line.

Maybe. That would be assuming this team could win on the road which they haven’t given us any reason to believe they would.
Pulling off the wins would have been nice but having a chance on the road almost every game with the make up of this team is better than a whole bunch of years at ISU. And that's without bad TCU and Tech that used to be essentially 'gimmes'.
