Conference Prediction for ISU

[cyclones500]

That's how I see it too. Semifinals to be Kansas vs. Okie State and Iowa State vs WVU.

Seems reasonable with those brackets.

At 13-9 it certainly was. Regardless, this team has rallied in a way that Fred's weren't able to by beating good teams on the road. We're a six seed right now, and that's damn good considering where we were.

What will it take for people to stop looking at overall record?

If ISU get catch fire and stay hot it is not out of the question to say the finish with 2nd outright and a BIG 12 Tournament Championship.

Let me clarify. It was where we were at record-wise, combined with the fact that we had @KU and @ KSU coming up. It was looking like 17-13, 9-9 was a real possibility. 9-9 is not auto in, esp with a first round conference tournament loss. Blah blah yes the bubble is weak this year, but we'd be sweating bullets on selection Sunday.

9-9 was always going to get us in

Apparently nothing short of a ***** slap to the face

I'm quite wary of the OSU game. I think that game is in the same ballpark as the Baylor game.

I'm expecting 1-2, hoping for 2-1, but have no idea where the win(s) will come from.

Remove the word "always" and you're close. ... 9-9 didn't become "probable" bid-territory until the win a Kansas.

OK I'll fix it, 9-9 was always going to get us into the tournament no matter where the wins came from

I started the thread looking like the optimist, but this team has done so well I look like a pessimist now.

I think at some point I said they'd win something like 6 games.

Technically they did so I'm feeling pretty great about myself today.

4 home losses in one year at Hilton. Interesting

People predicting 4 losses in Hilton in one year are crazy
