    What is Iowa state best 5 year stretch

    As far as the modern era, I would say 11-15 (12-16?). Coming off the McDermott era and bringing the program back to relevancy. Established the NBA ‘pipeline’, bring the Magic back to Hilton, and even setting up Steve Prohm to have initial success.

    Why? Just why?

    Nobody has said anything about them being a bad matchup for everyone. For ISU 100% bad. Without JJ there was 3 players over 6’5, and two of those should never be on the court at the same time. Nelson was a bad miss and Mulder was a practice body. Yes we are in a much better spot roster wise than...

    14’ Niang foot team still had a very legit shot at E8. They just couldn’t hit free throws. That season will always remain the biggest ‘what if’ outside of 2000. 24’ was probably the other closest, game wise to pulling it off.

    I agree, and I’m more than ready to see a team get over the hump. I would also argue that we’ve only recently been a ‘consistent’ S16 team.

    Joshua Jefferson is OUT for Round of 32 vs Kentucky

    Double edge sword attacking the paint. While we could get them in foul trouble, ISU isn’t exactly cashing in on free throws. All in all I do agree with your point. Also can’t get into foul trouble early ourselves, and avoid giving up a million OR’s

    No. 7 ISU's all about heart, not heartbreak, after buzzer beating 82-80 loss to No. 2 Arizona in KC

    I always want to win it outright, but might be best case scenario to lose there. If they get the bump to a 2, and get some rest for the real show I’m all for it.
