    Bracket Predictions 2025-26

    Thanks to @dahliaclone for the initial shoutout. This will be my 10th year doing bracketology and since it's now February, I figured today was a good day to do my first bracket projection of the year. Just checked the Bracket Matrix rankings page, and it looks like I'm ranked 38th out of 186...

    Good night for our Quad 1 and 2 wins with Creighton winning at Villanova and Mississippi State blowing out Oklahoma. Things can always change, but those looked like they might be Q2 and Q3 wins and now are in Q1 and Q2 respectively.

    Players Era

    Auburn, Alabama, Maryland, or Oregon are most likely I’m guessing. I’m more interested in time. No idea on that.

    Players Era

    I thought I read that they’ll tinker with matchups to avoid rematches or conference games. But who knows with this format.

    2026 Three-Star Guard Marcus Zelee Decommits from Iowa State

    Trilly thinks that we told him "to move along". Bossi also saying he's not Big 12 caliber. Entirely possible we offered him then had second thoughts before everyone starts bashing a 17-18 year-old kid.

    2025-26 Schedule

    Mississippi State, Purdue, Iowa, 3 games at Players Era. That’s a good slate. Would be cool if we got one more major conference opponent at a neutral site or to come to Hilton, but I wouldn’t be shocked if those are our 6 good non-conference matchups and then we’ll have 7 lower level buy games.

    2025 Transfer Options

    Imagine being this hyperbolic about a player I’m guessing you’ve watched only a YouTube highlight video of.

    2025 Transfer Options

    Always funny when people tell on themselves. Tell us, what makes you think Jackson is more athletic than Mulder?

    2025 Transfer Options

    He just completely commanded the game against Missouri for 40 minutes. I think he'd be just fine.

    2025 Bracketologies

    Ultimately, I don’t think anyone else really qualifies for that last 9-seed spot. Other options are Baylor, Utah State, Arkansas, West Virginia, Oklahoma. None of their resumes screamed out to me as being significantly better than Drake so I took a risk on the resume with the gaudy record.

    2025 Bracketologies

    First year doing this hobby as a father, so time is a little more tough to come by with updates here during championship week. But here is my final bracket projection for the tournament. I have Iowa State as the final 3-seed, but I wouldn't be surprised if Texas A&M is ahead of ISU, which...

    2025 Bracketologies

    We could very well end up as a 4 but all January and February, everyone says “ignore Palm and Lunardi, they’re awful at this!” Then Lunardi and Palm move us to a 4 and everyone flips out. Calm down people.

    I believe I also read that of the 12 committee members, there are 7 new members this year, so their decision-making process might not match what's been done the last few years.

    I know they send you emails but why post it here if it’s inaccurate? It’s just misinformation at this point.

    *** Official #10 IOWA STATE vs Kansas State Game(Day) Thread ***

    Saw we're wearing gold again. Feels like we're completely fazing out the white/cardinals jerseys we wore so much last 5 years. Wonder if we'll get a new cardinal jersey next year to match the new whites/golds of this season.

    2025 Bracketologies

    Purdue losing to Illinois tonight certainly helps our hopes for a 3-seed. Win tomorrow and root for Missouri to beat Kentucky. Puts us in a better spot for a 3-seed. Root for Texas A&M or Texas Tech to get upset tomorrow as well.

    2025 Bracketologies

    Put together what the committee's order was during the early reveal on 2/15, along with each team's losses at that time and losses since. Safe to say we've been passed by Michigan State, St. John's, Wisconsin, and Texas Tech. It's also possible Texas A&M and Purdue have now dropped below us...

    Emotional Investment

    The internet is a cesspool sadly. Even with myself, I've noticed how much calmer and less negative I am when I'm at games and don't go online during them versus watching at home on my couch. Internet breeds negativity.

    Postgame video: T.J. Otzelberger's postgame press conference after loss to BYU

    We called a timeout at the end of the 4th quarter to get Jefferson the near and-1 layup, where he instead made two FTs to tie. It's ok to be upset about the result of the game, but at least be factual in your complaints. They called timeout three times, it worked once. Calling a timeout to stop...
