If Iowa State gets put in Milwaukee, I'm planning on catching the games over there. I've been trying to figure out what the schedule is, but I can't find anything. There are two sessions on Thursday, but which seeds play in the afternoon and which play in the evening? Or is all that still TBD and they figure it out after the bracket is set.
2nd and 3rd rounds in Milwaukee

Selfishly, I hope this holds true. I know it's a longer trip for most ISU fans but there's a good Cyclone presence in Dallas, Austin, and Houston, so we'd still be well-represented.

This isn't quite true. We will be seeded above Michigan St. and potentially Michigan as well. We will be behind Wisconsin unless they lose today and we win the Big 12s, then I'm not sure. Also, Michigan is as close to Buffalo as they are to Milwaukee so they could get placed there. But you are right most likely is San Antonio. My prediction right now would be both Iowa St. and Creighton put in San Antonio.
It's not going to happen. Michigan, Wisconsin, and Michigan State are all ahead of us to this point. We are going to San Antonio, which isn't bad but also isn't exactly preferred.

Maybe I'm reading too much into your comment, but if it is "there is no way for the committee to seed us ahead of Michigan" that is pretty premature. Especially considering we are in a virtual tie in the RPI (switched 10/11 depending on which estimation you look at). They are certainly ahead of us right now and have the advantage of a better SOS and the bump you likely get from winning your conference. But for instance, if they lose today they are looking at a 3 seed and its entirely possible we sneak by them on the committee's S-curve.
I'm not sure it can't happen if (and this is a mighty big 'if') Michigan loses to Illinois today in the Big 10 tourney and Iowa State wins the Big 12 tourney.
There is no way the bracketologists seed us higher than Michigan, but the only reason anyone thinks Michigan is a lock over us is because they say that.
The gap they say exists is like 4 or 5 spots. If ISU wins the Big 12 they close a couple of those and then it is very possible the committee likes us more than bracketologists do. We have everything the committee loves.

Too bad Iowa won't be able to help our cause by beating Michigan State. Haha. Listened to Miller and Brinson yesterday as they totally assumed Iowa would beat Northwestern. They talked much more about their chances with Michigan State. Then Iowa predictably folded against NW. Barely even talked about the ISU/KU matchup because they wasted CW's time talking about Rodney Coe. This is one of the few times I've listened to that program, but it was bad. They definitely don't maximize our own CW during his segment.
