Your statement about T Lewis is based on what evidence?
I’m rooting for the kid because he seems like a grade A teammate but I’m not as convinced as you are that he is cut out to play at this level. Time will tell.
Any possibility of Post season tournament THIS YEAR?

Top 60ish recruit, great size and by all accounts a tremendous shooter. This year he just hasn’t been able to catch up to the speed on the game (or have things slow down for him). The shooting part is just mental.
We'll win Saturday in Manhattan... Mark my word.
You have a history. You don't like Prohm, and only come around when Iowa St. loses. It's fine, I don't care what you like or dislike.
I’ve never said a bad word about Prohm. You have me confused with someone else if you think I don’t like Steve. I’m thrilled to have him as our MBB coach.
I sure hope so. That 1st game may have been our worst of the year. K State is clearly better than we expected, but we got down and just stopped.
He doesn't have a role that he could have a good chance at getting to like Lard. Wiggs just seemed to sift in a bit better.
A few games ago when ISU was playing 7 Lewis got some good minutes and seemed to get into the rhythm of the game a bit better. The hope is that there's been some real progress at practice and there's a future for him.
Lewis looks lost, but checking out the stats on the Nebraska guys reminds you anything can happen. Palmer and Roby had very modest freshmen years. Obviously the former is a better athlete and the latter much longer, but at 6’5” Lewis could be a productive wing if he tightens his handle and finds his shot.
The dream of an a-large isn't 100% dead, but it's on life-support. Margin for error now is almost nil.
I'm realistic about the chances, but it's part of fandom, not saying 'never' until it's a certainty. At the same time, gradually accepting that NIT is likely the ceiling.

I can relate.
I've gotten so used to being a lock or near-lock by mid-February each season, I have to reacquaint myself with Iowa State missing the tournament (or could be missing postseason entirely). We've become spoiled!
Being pegged as a 7 or 8 is a teetering place. It's almost a given several slots will evaporate when regular-season winners in one-bid leagues don't get NCAAT auto-bid (thus, auto-bid in NIT).
ISU is in a weird spot. Somehow, doing enough to reach outer fringe of NCAA tournament bubble discussion isn't much different than what it would take to be a lock for NIT bid.
