    Now that we've had about a week to digest (and go through stages of sports fan grief), where would you rank the 2025-26 men's basketball season within, say, the top 10 in Iowa State history? I could have done a poll, but too many ways to organize it, I'd rather leave it open-ended. Feel free...
