Mayo might turn in his DOR. He'll definitely look around and find out he's got nowhere else to go.

we should win but this matchup makes me nervous. i hope we dont take this as a given. didnt we lose a first round game as a #2 years ago? im forking out good $$ to go watch the game and i sire hope i dont jinx the outcome. it really gets me going when lipsey and gilbert try to drive the lane against 3 defenders and make an insanely bad shot. share the ball, dont try to be a superhero, and we should do well. but dont overlook these guys. please, make it an enjoyable game for me!

I haven't seen a single game this year where our guys looked like they were taking anything as a given. All out effort, every single game. Only difference game to game is in how well they execute.
Kinda like how the 2014 team had different vibes than 2015 even with many of the same players and it very possibly contributed to the weirdness.
That said, the 2000 team was on a roll and still had a tie game with 6:00 left in the 1st round, and things were tight against Auburn before they closed it out with a big run.
Hopefully this group can stay the course and continue the success that they've had in finding ways to win in tighter games.
Everyone can have different definitions of "better," but FWIW, Barttorvik's Game Score metric has the Iowa game as ISU's 4th best of the season (Link).
Did you watch the Big 12 tournament by chance?
I'm hoping it continues but this trend looks like it got corrected very well.
Grambling #1 and Green Bay #3. I'll take that list with a grain of salt.
Sigh
You must not have watched a single minute of our game play from this weekend's Big 12 tourney championship...
We aren't overlooking anybody. If we lose, it won't be because of that.
Beating any team by 50+ is impressive. Just like how beating New Hampshire by 15 or even DePaul by 19 isn't all that impressive, putting those two games towards the bottom of the list despite being double-digit wins.
I went to high school with Mims. I think Keshon and Tamin will eat him alive
Haslametrics has it as the 6th best game
3 of the first 4 were higher, then the last two BigXII tourney games. The Houston game just edged out Grambling as the best of the year
