Conference Prediction for ISU

And this team is significantly better defensively than Royces team that GASP lost at Drake. I'm still waiting for someone to answer if we've ever had a tournament team lose four times in one season at home

There's a decent % of people that think at 10-8 we're on the bubble. Don't try to reason with mental illness.

I guess I just don't know why someone would think this isn't a tournament team. The Big 12 will help our RPI a ton and Hilton is Hilton
We have played 4 teams with a pulse and lost 3 of those 4. In addition, games against Indiana St and Drake were concerning to me. Big 12 going to be tough sledding. I think we can make the tournament, but at this point my money is on us trying to find out what time and channel NIT games are played on.

I'd gladly bet with you we make the tournament

I hope you're wrong, and if you're wrong there will be people lol ing at your overconfident posts.

Dang, I hate agreeing with this, but......

I haven't looked it up but I bet the Wayne Morgan coached tourney team that won something like 7 in a row in the big 12 lost 4 @ home. Too lazy to look up...

They flipped a switch after some bad losses
 
This team has enough talent to be a very good team. But they are still learning how to play a totally different style than they've played in years. I'm concerned but still hopeful the switch will flip very quickly and they figure it out.
 
I don't understand all the negativity either but then again, I'm drunk on eggnog right now and just won my fantasy league.

This team wins at least 9 games.

The two questions: "Will we lose four at home this year" and "Will we miss the NCAA tournament?" are essentially the same question. We've made the tournament losing three times at home and this year we are probably right on that line. We could easily lose three and make the tourney or lose four and miss the tourney.

The people disagreeing with you aren't necessarily saying that we will lose four games and/or miss the tournament, they are just saying that the possibility isn't as laughable as you seem to suggest.

It's definitely possible but predicting it is laughable and being dramatic IMO

Okay, you're a troll, I guess I assumed that was the case but this pretty much does it. kenpom projects us 17-13 (8-10) and teamrankings has us 18-12 (9-9) with a 56% chance of making the tournament. You're either incredibly blinded by your fandom or you just want to troll people.

I'm not trolling at all and trust me when I do I'm good at it. I'll gladly bet anyone anything we make the tournament
 
Kanas and Baylor are clearly the elite. I think West Virginia is 3rd however their schedule looks pretty weak except the Virginia game and they also lost alot of talent.

The rest are pretty much up for grabs imo. I think if we dont finish at least 9-9 in conference we can consider the first 2 years of the Prohm era a huge disappointment. With the amount of talent the entire conference lost from last year and the fact that we play 6 seniors we should be better than .500.

A sweet 16 makes the first two years a "huge disappointment"? Our bigs are mediocre making us easier to defend on the perimeter. The cupboard wasnt exactly stocked after last year along the front line when Prohm took over. You'll c more consistent play from our front line as the year goes on but this was set in place before Prohm arrived.
 
Gonzaga's size didn't hurt us. KU doesn't have size. I'd be surprised if we lost 3 games at home actually and I won't even take your money when I win. You know what you're talking about in basketball, I just thought you would realize this is a much improved defensive team
You most certainly will take my money or I will bet somebody that will.

I'm not going to argue about this but I've seen more bad than good out of this team. Can they improve? Heck yes!

Offensively yes, defensively I've seen way more good than bad
