*** Official Selection Sunday Thread ***

[HouClone]

The idea that the committee doesn’t intentionally do this is *********.

They probably had us penciled us into playing them in Omaha no matter what we did against Houston. We could have won by 60 and nothing would have changed.

Illinois is the #1 3 seed. UConn is the #1 1 seed. Worst seeding I have ever seen. ISU was #7 before the tournament - then they beat KSU by 19, #14 BU by 14 points, #1 UH by 28 points, win the conference and they end up LOWER (#8) with losses by Tenn, NC, Houston, Duke, Ky, Az, Purdue, Creighton, Marquette. WTF?????

 

[Clonefan32]

We are a great team and should win, but common Drake in Omaha? And Drake is no slouch and very well coached.

Meh. Drake doesn’t scare me a ton. I think we can abuse their guards.

 

[CyGuy5]

Meanwhile Marquette gets a free ride to the sweet 16

 

[chadly82]

How the hell does Marquette a better draw ?!

 

[isufbcurt]

WSU beast Arizona twice, they are pretty good.

We beat Houston twice, we are pretty ******* good

 

[pourcyne]

They ain't making it that far

Yeah, would love for Duquesne to beat BYU's butt.

 

[CoachHines3]

I don't see the problem. Play well = win.

I’m a little disturbed by the bracket but you’re exactly right.

there wasn’t going to be an “easy” path to a final 4.

my main want was avoiding UCONN but whatever, let’s meet in the Elite 8 and go from there.

play like we did in KC and we can beat anyone.

 

[cyfanatic13]

Can't wait for Pollard to be off the committee and someone in the room can actually advocate for ISU. ******* horse ****

 

[NebrClone]

I don't see the problem. Play well = win.

No more Ames Lager for me during ISU events. Everytime I have drank one the Cyclones have something bad happen.

 

[Tpups21]

Have to beat the best to be the best. ISU can win any game if it plays like yesterday.

 

[singsing]

I figure no way we get UCONN
I figure no way we get another big12 team
I figure no way they put us with Drake
I figure no way we get Illinois
Bam..**** it happens.

 

[CycloneErik]

Also, it seems like the "Team So-and-so got a great draw!" usually comes back to bite them.

TJ will want to beat his former team. WSU and Drake are both highly beatable. Defense travels.

Dummy. No one calls travelling on the defense.

 

[Aclone]

Illinois is the #1 3 seed. UConn is the #1 1 seed. Worst seeding I have ever seen. ISU was #7 before the tournament - then they beat KSU by 19, #14 BU by 14 points, #1 UH by 28 points, win the conference and they end up LOWER (#8). WTF?????

Huh.

If only we had an AD who could give us some insight…

 

[ISUTex]

Do we want Drake or wash st. Watched no pac 12 bball so no idea about them.

Drake. We would ******* destroy them.

 

[dafarmer]

Clark Kellogg is a tool.

 

[BCClone]

I can't believe how many people are scared of SDSU and WSU. Come on guys.

I more hate having UCONN in Boston

 

[CycloneErik]

I figure no way we get UCONN
I figure no way we get another big12 team
I figure no way they put us with Drake
I figure no way we get Illinois
Bam..**** it happens.

Next time, we tell you what to figure, then you figure that.

 

[Cyched]

Dummy. No one calls travelling on the defense.

We could be pioneers in this regard.

 

[cyclonestunners]

Washington State beat Arizona twice. Not sure Drake will win that game.

Great... so instead we get the team motivated by "beat the conference that killed our conference!" Not sure that's much better.
