March 11, 2012 is the only day that matters. Random sports writers' opinions are worthless.

 

[isuno1fan]

11 wins....gonna be a close call. We don't want to be 10-8 and leave it up to the committee.

HERESY!

[I agree]

 

[InAWord]

But three Big 10 teams with losing conference records are in?

 

[JJ4ISU]

His basis is we haven't beaten any top teams on the road. It's Ok for Minnesota to get swept by Iowa and K-State to get swept by Oklahoma, but not Ok for us to lose to good teams on the road.

 

[el tornado]

We should be 'in' over K-State at this point... unbelievable

Its not like the strength of our losses sucked.. as of yesterday half of them were in the top 15, and most losses were on the road.

KState in is kind of a joke without us or Texas in, given theyre most likely going to finish 6th.

FWIW, Lunardi has us as a 10 against the fighting Steve Alfords

Just one more example of people who don't pay attention to the basketball played here in flyover country.

Yep, because the Big Ten had the best non conference season. It was SOS and wins.

 

[Cydkar]

Why do people freak out every time someone has us "out"? It's ridiculous. We may not make it but what they say now doesn't mean jack squat.

we could easily go to the sweet 16 in that bracket...even tho Lunardi is overrated he's better then Palm so I like it.

 

[ISUcy08]

9 B1G teams. 4 Big XII teams. He is a fool.

 

[ItsCyence]

I would believe Lunardi before the CBS guy.

Hell, I could see us in the elite 8 if that was our bracket. MSU would be tough, but if we got past them, I think we could handle Marquette or Saint Marys

That would be an interesting matchup, and round 2 would even be more interesting facing our farm system in Michigan State.

 

[bostrem00]

That is why ISU has to go 3-0 in KC in March

I dont think anyone here would be opposed to that happening. Hoping for a UT,KU,MU path.

Cyclones' warning

Bracket advisory: Not beating anyone decent away from home doesn't sit well with the tourney committee. It's why Iowa State is off Jerry Palm's latest bracket along with Big 12 mate Texas.

Teams in:
Northwestern (15-10, 5-8)
Roads wins against GT (9-16, 2-9) and Illionois (16-10, 5-8)

Illinois (16-10, 5-8)
Road wins against Marlyand (15-10, 5-6) and Northwestern (15-10, 5-8)

Kansas State (17-8, 6-7)
Road wins against VT (14-12, 3-8) Oklahoma State (12-14, 5-8) and Tech (8-17, 1-12)

Something does not compute
