1st Bracketology Out...ISU in

[jpete24]

Sorry, didn't even look as I thought there was no way in hell they would even be considered.

Mad Fran screams his way into early season polls.

'12 In no bubble
'13 In no bubble
'14 In no bubble - auto bid tourney champs anyway
'15 In no bubble - auto bid tourney champs anyway
'16 In no bubble
'17 In no bubble - auto bid tourney champs anyway
'18 out - almost a completely new team
'19 In no bubble - nearly all Prohm's players - auto bid tourney champs anyway

For me it is hard to predict, or determine expectations for this team, but I would consider making the tournament at any seed a success.

A fine publication

1. We can't win at home and Hilton Magic is dead
2. We will severely miss Lard
3. Atleast 3 players will break there Tibia
4. Prohm still wont be able to figure out how to inbound a ball costing us multiple wins.
5. Delta Dental ads distract the players to much during Timeouts


Therefore, all that equals a first round loss in the CBI to..... Iowa.

In all fairness Lard just needed like 26 more chances and the NCAA championship is automatic.

- No boxing out
- Not enough hard fouls
- Team is too skinny, needs to gain weight
- Not enough emphasis on playing inside-out with bigs making back-to-the-basket moves from the low block
- Not coached by Fred
- Bad body language
- Old people are terrible fans that only stand and clap at timeouts
- Student section sucks

And most of all HEROOOOO BALLLLLLL!

Need more 6'10 45% three point shooters for a successful ISU season.

Interesting he has Mad Fran on the road in the Pig vs home team Dayton.

I looked it up and in 2015 Boise State flew from Idaho to play this road game play-in game and lost by a point.

I'd say that's the worst "in" draw in NCAA tournament history. Not really in the tournament or round of 64 and have to play a true road game to get in.

Hell yes.

Hell yes.

I only report the facts.

If that doesn't get you jacked for basketball season, I don't know what does.

At this point in the pre-season, do the Bracketologists even pay attention to actual locations? Don't they just rank teams and slap them into spots accordingly, without much if any concern for the NCAA "rules" for matchups.

Yeah, I know it just got me thinking...that's the worst draw ever and turns out Boise State got it four years ago.

I guess karma for their home games in the crappy Boise bowls.

At this moment in time and without seeing a second of this team play I'll take that.

FIFY, since this is the only thing that the Prohm haters will see.

 

[KKramer]

I predict there will be a portion of the season where we love them, a portion of the season where we hate them, and then a Big 12 tournament championship.

Rinse, repeat.

 

[deadeyededric]

We'll be 20-10ish. Might win a game in the tourney.

 

[mj4cy]

I'd take a 10 seed right now. Bet we raise that stock tho.

10 seed is much better than an 8 or 9 seed.

 

[LincolnWay187]

My expectations are super low so if they do anything I'll be happy. Pretty much the opposite of last year.

Ill be happy if we see better passing and less hero ball

 

[JP4CY]

A 10 seed against our transfer out team Marquette?!?!?!?!?!!

 

[Pat]

I expect this year to be a wild wide - hopefully prohm can put the right pieces together.

I’m actually the opposite: instead of a wild ride, I think we see a consistent team with a lower ceiling, but much higher floor, than 18-19.
